...of my old laptop, an Acer travelmate 230, which, after four years and one too many blows to the head, finally gave up the ghost and went to laptop heaven with some of my holiday photos still on the hard disk. It's OK, they were still on the cards, so all I have to do is re-edit.
I'm now the proud owner of a new Acer, and it is quite an upgrade on the old one.
For one thing it has the AMD Turion 64 processor, which is apparently dual core. I would ... ...yet.
Look and Feel
Acer have come on a long way since my first laptop, it is slim, elegant and light.
Memory and Capacity
There are 512 Megabytes of RAM - DDR2 dual channel. Good for most applications.
Capacity of the Hard disk is 60 gigabytes, divided into 2 partitions, one for system files and one for data and backups.
Robustness and durability
Well I've had it a week, written several articles on it, surfed the net and everything works OK ...

From a very non-techy perspective. Good, light etc. and generally pleased. I was surprised at the scores for speed - mine is disappointly slow despite doing all the right things, and the screen is very shiny and reflective and difficult to see in any sort of bright light or daylight. Otherwise pleased though

The equipped AMD performs well and the battery life is good.
Mine comes with a 120GB hard drive, divided between two partitions, which is useful ... ...smoothly by not cluttering it with files. No issues with it but can easily get quite hot.
Also, plenty of features like WLAN, LAN, dual layer DVD writer (which also supports DVD RAM), built in webcam, built in microphone and memory card reader. The built in WLAN seems to cover a good range and is better than my desktop in terms of distance covered. It works smoothly with no complaints and have never had any issues connecting to my wireless network, ...

Advantages: Light, fast and easy to use. Disadvantages: none that I have come across.
I have just purchased this Acer for my daughter to take to college - and in fact have kept it for myself ! It is light and easily portable as so important when having to transport regularly but also robust enough that I dont have to be nervous with it. For me the keys are clear not only does it look good but it also performs perfectly. The memory storage is excellent and it is quicker by far than my older, less than year old laptop. The start up ...

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
