Advantages: Price and specs good for a budget laptop Disadvantages: hopeless battery
...Poorly Ltd are resellers of Acer and we have always liked them, especially the style and design (or chassis) as they dont look or feel like budget laptops. It is well made, light for its size and thinner than you'd expect. I was also surprised that it had a 5 in 1 card reader and 4 USB ports, as most laptops seem to only have 3 these days! The fact it has 1Gb of RAM needs you shouldn't need to upgrade this as hardly anyone needs more than 1Gb of ... ...the awful battery life. Acer use software to very easily and quickly change processor speed, monitor brightness and other features to prolongue battery usage. (which is very useful)
However you have to set theses values so low, no screen brightness, lowest CPU speed, turn off LAN and or WLAN, to get 2 hours out of it, which is useless.
Make no mistake this is a 'desktop laptop' and not one to use on the move, if you do want it to take around with ...

Advantages: Lightweight and nice big screen Disadvantages: Poor battery and dodgy screen brightness
I'm not a technical person, so if you want a technical review then this isn't the one for you.
I previously had a Toshiba, which I was happy with, but I needed to upgrade the memory and processor, so I decided to buy a new one.
I took advantage of the New Year Sale at Comet Online, and got this one. At 1Gb it has more than enough RAM, and I can't see I'll ever need to upgrade that.
The HDD is 60 Gb, and even with some of the programmes you get ... ...I store a lot of photos on my laptop, and I've hardly made a dent in the memory.
The screen is nice and big and clear, but the big drawback is that it keeps changing brightness. There is a way to increase the brightness by pressing Fn+> but it really shouldn't keep changing. I was used to this happening when i was working on battery power, but this happens even though I am on mains.
I don't play games but I do watch occasional DVD's. The picture ...

Advantages: Great widescreen display, superb 1gb ram, fast processor, great sound and lightweight Disadvantages: battery life
...laptop is immense and the Acer Aspire 3692WLMi is no different.
I love the look of Acer laptops, they all follow a similar design scheme but it makes them look more expensive than they actually are and they tend to be rather cheaper than similar specification laptops.
The Acer Aspire 3692WLMi has an Intel Celeron processor running at 1.6GHz, a massive 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive as well as extras like an integrated webcam and 5 in 1 card ... ...15.4 inch widescreen display is perfect for watching your DVD collection, and it is perfectly capable of running Windows Vista Home Premium without a hitch. 80GB hard drive is standard for budget laptops nowadays and with a two and a half hour battery life bundled with its lightweight (2.8KG), it is a perfect laptop to go from place to place with.
I have found that it catches peoples eyes, it looks beautiful throughout, on top, under the lid, everything ...

I bought this laptop from comet mid november and it is one of the best pieces of equipment i have bought. Even though the casing is quite weak, the look is fantastic and the overall speed of the pc is WOW! That 1gb Ram really does boost the speed and was surely a big change from the pc i used last, which only had 256mb ram and 800mhz celeron processor. The Windows XP Media Centre 2005 Operating System is surely worth the money you pay, and is perfect ...

A great buy!
Having used computers for years but never having bought one of my own or being very 'technically' minded I had no clue what kind of a laptop I needed or wanted. Basically I just wanted something stylish to use the internet on at home! I more
