The Acer Aspire L5100 is an economical, yet complete package for the everyday home computer user.

Advantages: Good price well designed and user freindly
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...of my critics. ******************************** ACER ASPIRE T180 REVIEW ******************************** Having had my new PC for a little over two weeks now, here are my experiences now I have put the PC through its paces. ++++++ PRICE: ++++++ As always, it pays to shop around. I found that prices varied tremendously particularly those on-line. Before buying on-line always do the rounds of the high street shops. Although the likes of PC-World, ...
.../ FUNCTIONALITY +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Acer have produced a model here that is well thought out in terms of usability. What I have found to be very good is how everything is easily accessible from the front of the machine. Although most desktop PC's have USB and audio ports mounted on the front, they are usually hidden behind a door or tacky little flap that tends to break off after very little usage. Another annoying "norm" for most manufacturers ... Read review

Advantages: All-in-one design, wireless accessories
Disadvantages: Limited upgrades, expensive

Brilliant PC, quick and has the capability to run most current games. Windows Media Centre Edition includes some nice features for TV viewing (built-in freeview card) and also hard disk recording of live TV.

Another drawback of the PC ...

Advantages: No bugs, major crashes, fast and loads of fun!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any....

I was absolutely blown away by this little computer! My partner, who is a graphic designer, bought this to replace the PC we had and as soon as I got on it I was away! It is so user friendly and easy to navigate. I have learned so much through just using and I don't get irritated by it because it hardly ever crashes. When it does 'crash' or 'freeze up' it's very easy to rectify as you just click 'force quit' and it solves the problem! Brilliant! ...
...to get it working again! Yay! There is also some really fun software already on it like the IMovies and IDVD that you can create your own little movies with photographs with music and effects. It's really good fun and that's the key to this little Mac, it's fun to use whatever you're doing! ... Read review
