I am a traveler who likes to get his hands dirty and work in as many cultures as possible. I have worked of volunteered in Albania, Turkey, Uganda, Ecuador, U.S., and Mexico. I consider myself well spoken, educated and concerned with current world events.

I bought this laptop because of its speed and its entertainment package. I have not been disappointed with it since because this is what i bought it for. "Pros:" I have the 2.2 Ghz, 2048 mb Ram and it runs perfectly. Transfers are fast and clear, downloads are the same and it has good built in speakers. Not phenomenal, but very good. It has good hot keys that make usinig it easy and simple and the 320 gb. Hard drive is perfect for all the movies and music, pictures and videos i have on there. Built in webcam is very clear and microphone works very well. Multiple USB ports on both sides of computer are nice touch. Hot keys and extra features are in good location and very relevant to daily use. The look is very sleek and I always get compliments on it.
"Cons:" I have seen are in order, a very hot processor, so my fan is always working in overdrive. I will have to get that worked on soon. My network card is a bit slow to lock on and is sometimes in and out. I am also having some problems with my logging off, or shutting down where my computer will stall out int he hibernate or sleep process and not fully turn off. Vista has been a problem because it eats up so much RAM and processor speed, but the ACER handles the heavy work load really well. Lastly, this is not a very functional mobile laptop. It is heavy and you feel it when carrying it around.
All in all I am very happy with this laptop. It does exactly what I bought it for. I highly recommended it. Also Acer personal customer service is excellent. I have had it serviced in Istanbul and Amsterdam, just to check the fan and get it cleaned and they have been great.
