This Acer Extensa 5220 laptop is ideal for anyone on a budget. However don't be fooled by the low price, this laptop still has power. The Intel Celeron processor is more than powerful enough for any home or student.
Including a good sized memory (80GB), Windows Vista Home Basic and a DVD rewriter this laptop is excellent value for money.
The 15'4 screen allows for excellent viewing for DVDs and gaming, but does not mean the laptop is heavy and could be easily portable to use all over home/school/college/university.
Overall i believe this laptop is excellent value for students who are not looking to spend alot of money, but still want a good quality laptop which will allow them to complete most tasks.

Advantages: robust, does what I want it to Disadvantages: battery life
Excellent product for those of us who can't (and don't want to ) pay for top of the range and who want a reliable laptop with all the essentials. Good for work, for viewing dvds, internet and for carrying around. It's robust and has proved itself to be 8 year old boy proof.
If I have any criticism, it's the battery. It doesn't seem to last any length of time. Perhaps I am over using it but it only seems to last a few hours. The sound isn't great ...

Advantages: Cheap, portable, DASP, Wireless, Vista Home Basic, Acer GridVista Disadvantages: Small Hard Drive, Could use a RAM upgrade, Battery life of 2.5 hours
...As it is an Acer laptop, it contains all of the acer quick keys on its keyboard, Acer GridVista (which can be used to simulate Aero!) and Acer Empowering Technology which is extremely useful for planning such things as battery usage and therefore changing the battery life.
It is a fairly standard laptop with DASP (Digital Anti-Shock Protection) and excellent wireless technology, though it does not support BlueTooth technology.
DASP is extremely ...
