Just bough an Acer Aspire 5051, cheap as chip but performance matches price. probably the slowest laptop I have used in a few year, performance is comparible to a dell PIII 700 with 500mb.
Very unempressed, so Through in an extra 1gb of ram to see if that would help. which had a very small increase in performance. And then through in a hitachi travelstar 100gb 7200 drive. (fastest laptop drive you can buy without going flash)
Hard drive made the difference, the laptop runs okay now. but the extra £160 on upgrades would have been better spent on a bottom of the range dell..
Thought about selling this little beast on eBay but I would doubt i would get more than £300 for it..
Stay away go asus or dell ...!
No Blutooth either, an no chance of an internal; upgrade even though it has the button on the chasis!!
