Advantages: Fast, Quality and Easy install Disadvantages: Price, Compatibility
...Overall i would definatley recommend the Phenom to anybody looking to upgrade there processor however i would advise that if you are looking into the upgrade you check the compatiblity of your motherboard and your graphics card as older motherboards wont have an updated bios or even not have a bios upgrade. I would suggest upgrades to both the processor and the motherboard at the same time and get a board with an 790FX chipset to be sure they're compatible. As for the price it may seam expensive but good searching could lead to you finding one for just over £100, and with AMD on your side you'll beat Intel hands down. I hope you find this review helpfully and for any other help on the Phemon just message me....

Advantages: So simple to use Disadvantages: Only thing to spring to mind is the internal fan is noisy
...I do not personally have the Acer 3693WLMi product but I do have the Acer 3630 Aspire (3634WLMi to be exact), and believe me If this AcerAspire 3693 Notebook with the following details - RAM: 512 MB - DVD±RW (+R Double Layer) / DVD-RAM - 2.8 kg - Battery run time: 2.5 hour(s) is anywhere as good as the one I have I would happily recommend this item to anyone ...elegant and highly efficient compact wide screen notebook comes with a complete set of wired and wireless connectivity options and Acer's innovative Empowering Technology for a comprehensive and versatile solution to mobile multimedia management.
I have never yet come across an easier to use make or design of notebook / laptop and I have used a few believe me.
Go ahead buy this Acer with no second thoughts....

Having built two Media Center PCs previously and after one of them being damaged, I decided to buy a ready built system with the insurance money.
