I bought this laptop to take to college. I stress now if yur abut t use it to get in on the lastest capture the flag game your sadly mistaken, this is no gaming laptop.
So whats it good for if you cant use it to carry and show off your latest neverwinter nights character. Its for serious students or the on the go business type of person. Yup i said it.
The laptop while at first may seem weird it actually a very nice once you get used to it. There as a little excess on each side but Acer more than makes up for it in the performance packed little package
The keyboard has a slight upward curve, i found this to be helpful because your hands curve naturally inward slightly at the tips this keyboard fits the natural curve, relieving stress.
The LCD is very crisp and bright, one of the best Ive seen. the touchpad takes getting used to because its quite a bit more sensitive then most.
On the downside. The battery Stock comes with a pueny 1.7hours idle life. No good unless you have a plug nearby or a short class. But good for students because thats what they have access to ... PLUGS. Another downer for ne was the lack of upgrades. The 1.5ghz cpu on the 2313lci is the highest you can go. you cant add a floppy drive or a media reader. There is a serious lack of ports. You would need an adapter to use a nonusb printer. You can upgrade, memory up to 2gb, hard drive (the skys the limit...i think), the cdrw/dvd can be swapped out for a dvdrw drive. The bay is hotswap optional.
So if you need a laptop under 1000$ thats good for a business use or students. THIS IS IT. WAIT NO LONGER.
