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.
