Acer are now the biggest selling laptop company in England and have even over taken the previous well known laptop manufacturer Dell for its laptop sales.
The main reason for this is simply because acer knows what the public need, they make great laptops designed for the publics needs but best of all they cater for everyone’s costs. =you just simply cant get a dell with anywhere near as good specification as an acer for the same price, or even close to that price. Now I’m not saying that dell laptops aren’t good quality, in fact they are and a lot of them are far better than any of acers laptops but acer is cheaper for good quality too which make them a fantastic computing company.

The design of this laptop is one that some people hate and some people love, I quite like it, its called acers gemstone in that it kind of looks gem shaped as its curved and its also a nice white shape like a gem.
Its cream/white in colour with a nice white glossy shell which makes it look ultra modern when the lids closed. Its base is black which gives it a two tone colour and makes it look a lot sleeker.

These aren’t really designed for portability, and if you do want one for that then look at there acer travel mate range. These ones are really made for a smaller desktop replacement, and what a replacement as is will probably run as fast as your old desktop and in most cases run a lot faster if its an old one.
It weighs 3 kg which is quite a lot and would be just too much for most people who needed to carry it around all day, its battery life disagrees with its lack of portability though as it can last a pretty good 3 hours or more. This is a time you would expect on a portable boasting specification of a laptop.

Its screen size is a reasonable 15.4 inches which is really the average nowadays. It is however an active matrix screen, which is something that is being used by almost every laptop and notebook manufacturer nowadays, and there’s not an acer laptop being made at then moment that isn’t active matrix. Basically it makes the screen lighter, therefore making the whole laptop a bit lighter and therefore more portable as its easier to carry around. It also makes the screen brighter, images sharper and just all-round better images and better quality in everything you do on your laptop.

There are a few good extra features thrown In for good measure, and this is something that acer seem to do with almost all of their laptops. They seem to throw in some great extra features for free without it really effecting the price of there laptops.
This one has a built in 5 in 1 memory card reader which always comes in handy if you take a lot of pictures on digital cameras or on your phone and you need an easy way to put the pictures on your laptop. This can read any of SD Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Cards.
There’s also a built in webcam which is In the usual place at the top of the screen, iv got to say though it does seem to stick out s little as the webcams black and the rest of the laptops white, it doesn’t stick out from the actual surface though so it doesn’t look ugly its just quite noticeable. Its not great quality either and doesn’t do well in hardy any conditions, but none the less it’s a webcam, even if it is only something you’d expect to get in a phone made about 5 years ago with its 0.3 megapixels.

As I was saying earlier this could easily be a replacement desktop and still run a lot faster than one. This is because of its large 2 gb of built in ram. Not only is this a lot of ram, and makes the laptop very efficient in running everything but the laptop also has a Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 / 2 Ghz processor which runs at 2 Ghzs, which makes this laptops performance really good.

Its hard drive doesn’t disappoint either offering an 120 gb of storage space for you to store anything you need on there. It transfers data at 5400 rpm which is about the best you get in laptops at the moment and is really fast too.

This laptop runs fast and has good extra features too, it looks really cool however don’t get this if you need something portable because that just isn’t what it was made for. It is a really nice laptop to use though so if your looking for something small to replace that old desktop and don’t want to compromise on performance then this might be the one for you.
