...PC World and bought an acer desktop, being firmly rooted in the commodore camp i was reluctant to take the pc route, I took the Plunge 10 years on and now onto a sony vaio desktop (beautiful machine but thats another story).
So now up to date I was made redundant after 15 years so as a treat thought I would love a laptop and took a trip to Comet, anything decent was very pricey but set my heart on the Acer, but my financial advisor, wife for short ... ...tow.
Well My old acer was sturdy and very reliable, so what 9 years later did Acer have in store for me............. to my sheer delight nothing has really changed, plugged in, booted up and approx 20 minutes later is was up and running,fantastic.

...fallen out. Support at Acer couldn't be bothered to reply to my e-mails regarding replacement keyboard.
Acers website is annoyingly slow at times, i did manage to find all the necessary drivers when i had to reinstall windows. Don't try to install or even run live linux cd's as it will not for some reason recognise the Dvd/cd combi and therefore not run.

Battery life is also poor, ...

I would definately recommend this laptop especially as other people ...

...wonders'. Things such as the Acer Emanager which was only really useful for the very beginning setting up accounts and power management all the sorts of things that you only use when first starting up your computer. To be fair to Acer this tops the same sort of equipment that microsoft gives and of course if needs be it is always possible to revert to the old microsoft way. In my opinion it is a good reliable laptop even though things started to ...
