    Advantages Advantages fast cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages design

    This acer travel mate is a really good allround laptop. Its really reasonable priced too, and you’ll be able to pick one of these up for just about £400. This is an acer travel mate, basically all travel mates are made by acer and designed customly for business users, however you could buy one for home use, and it doesn’t really make any difference apart from it does come with vista business, so you’ll get some extra software on there. Also it might look a little more smart than other laptops, this is because its made for the use In offices and maybe a sleek cool laptop ... more

    Advantages Advantages Ample computing power, good screen, webcam

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life, portability

    I have had this Travelmate 5520 for a little over 2 years now, with no fuss and no problems at all - it is a great little machine. Here, I use 'little' as a term of endearment, rather than an expression of size, as this is not a netbook laptop (ultra-portable mini-computer) by any means. The screen (which pretty much dictates the size of any laptop these days) is a sharp 15.4" LCD, which offers a pretty good compromise between a desktop display and a portable machine, but as a compromise it leans more towards the desktop. In terms of battery life, on 'High power' a charge lasts around an hour ... more

    Advantages Advantages looks great, does everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing

    I had this laptop for a while and it was the perfect machine i could ask for whilst it was mine. Before you ask, NO, i did not throw it away! i gave it to my sister and brought another desktop pc for myself. The Design Acer always seem to make nice looking machines in my opinion and this is no exception.The Travelmate 5520G-5A1G12 is a stylish laptop in full black casing apart from the mouse scrolling interface. I love the shiny finish and the toolbar of crystal blue quick launch buttons below the screen. It comes with a superb 15.4 inch widescreen TFT screen that is large enough for your ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages incredibly slow!

    I have had this laptop for just about a year now and am already considering changing. I find it is incredibly slow and it constantly acts as if it has a virus although i have checked and it says it hasnt! programs only work when they want to work. The main issue here is it is constantly trying to update itself which is always slowing it down although there is 1gb of ram I am often warned there is not enough memory to perfrom certain tasks or open programs. i would advise you to advoid this laptop although the price is very cheap. i bought mine for £449 and i believe it has resently been ... more
