Advantages: Cheap, Good Spec.
Disadvantages: Speakers, Pre-loaded Software

.... Windows says it is a DVD-RAM drive, I've seen on once website it's a DVD+RW DL, and on another site DVD-RW DL. The laptop comes pre-installed with Windows Media Center Edition, with a free upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premuim (although I'm not sure I'll "upgrade"). Also pre-installed is Norton Anti-Virus with a 90 day licence, and lots of useless Acer software that I uninstalled without even finding out what it was. It seems slightly useless having Windows MCE as there is no TV Tuner, and I can't get the S-Video Out to work. The Acer Aspire 50501AWXMi is a very good laptop for the money, and I would recommend it for surfing the internet, listening to music and watching videos.

Advantages: Practical
Disadvantages: Improveable

...This is the Acer Aspire 3613WLMi laptop computer. Stats it gives on the actual laptop seem like a good place to start: Intel Celeron M Processor 370 (1.5GHz, 400 MHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache) 15.4" WXGA CrystalBrite TFT LCD 40GB DVD-Dual double layer (Supports DVD+R Double layer/ DVD+/-RW) 512MB DDR2 (support dual-channel) 802.11 b/g wireless LAN Right so the laptop itself is pretty decent even if a little dated by now. It runs fine and at a decent speed. It has enough RAM at 512MB to not have to worry about it being able to run things unless you're after brand new games. The laptop I have is just used for text and photo editing work which it can handle absolutely perfectly. It contains a DVD rewriter in the side which works very well. I have had problems with all other DVD rewriters but this works very well through Windows Media Player... Read review
