Full review
Acer are a relatively new up and coming brand from the USA (or so I'm told!) As the brand is not fully established yet, your getting great value for money when considering the high spec features of the Acer laptops, This particular model I bought 3 months ago as a replacement for my PC. Work commitments had changed and I really needed something portable - and this Acer certainly is that! About the size of an A4 paper and so lightweight, the laptop easily fits into your regular bag, which I find great because you are not blatantly seen carrying a laptop in one of those give away satchels. Gives me a greater sense of security from would be snatchers! I was initially concerned about the running speed, but with the duo processor, it actually runs more smoothly than my PC did! I also find the added Bluetooth feature great for transferring photos from my mobile and then printing - now there is a point to the camera on my phone!! Now the battery life given on the model specification is actually quite misrepresented. I find the battery lasts a good hour over the given specification when fully charged (of course if you're on the internet, this is greatly reduced).

Now the laptop did not come with a decent word processor (just Wordpad, which is rubbish!) and that was extremely disappointing. Also, this wasn't mentioned when I purchased it so make sure you ask! I had to buy Microsoft Office separately The Acer is provided with an external CD Drive, which is sometimes a little inconvenient to pull out if you're on the move. Also, if you are wanting to copy CD - CD, you will need another external drive which would use an extra port, or extra time would have to be spent ripping the disk then burning again. But this is a disadvantage to most laptops I think. Now I'm not a laptop expert, nor to I know many people with one so I'm not sure how this compares with other models but this Acer only has 3 USB ports. When you consider the need for a external CD drive, a printer, a camera, a mouse, a scanner etc - all which may need to be used simultaneously, I imagine a lot of switching about! I don't really have this problem however because this is not really what I mainly use the laptop for.

All in all, I love this laptop! It really is great on the go with the excellent battery life and its size. Just be aware of what software you are planning on needing to use with it given what I think is a small number of USB ports.
