At 10 inches, this is one of the smallest laptops on the market. This has advantages and disadvantages.
The main advantage is (for us) that it is a good "coffee table" computer. It is particularly useful as a secondary computer which doesn't take up much room or get in the way, and is perfect for sitting on the sofa doing a bit of work, playing games or surfing while watching TV. It connects easily on our wireless network.
The disadvantage is that the keyboard is a little too small to be easy to use, although you do get used to it. The screen size is also a problem from time to time, as the resolution is necessarily worse than a bigger screen would be. And of course it is not as powerful as a bigger computer would be.
The other features are very good for the size, with the usual Windows package. The "tablet" features are very handy, although the handwriting recognition is a bit erratic - it particularly struggles with internet addresses.
Overall, a good little package, highly recommended.

I for one, absolutely love the look of this acer. The bottom of the laptop just looks really cool, and the top looks ok too. One only criticism on the look, would be that the plastic at the tip of the screen is a little thick, but then again it does have more
The Dell D series of laptops came out in 2003 to replace the C series laptops (how did they come up with such a catchy name?). The main ranges are the D400, D600 and D800 spot the pattern yet. The D600 is the middle of the range in terms of size, weight more
After knocking a full cup of tea over my laptop (and destryoing the insides completely) I claimed on my insurance and was sent an Acer Aspire 5315. It costs around £300 to buy in the shops, placing it at the bottom end of the price range for laptops at... more
I bought mine on ebay for £360, I needed it for university study and it's working really well for small documents like word and excel and it will also play some games well, mainly Unreal Tournament online :-)
The disk space of 60GB is plenty for me.... more
I had wanted a laptop for a long time but had never been able to justify the cost when I already had a desktop computer. With the prospect of planning my wedding and spending hours on the internet searching for suppliers etc, I wanted to be able to do... more
