...replacement than a laptop. Acer has now discontinued this model of laptop so you will only be able to purchase this second hand, now this is where the big problem occurs. My laptop started to have issues with overheating when Hyper threading was enabled and then the DVD-RW stopped working when burning CD's. The laptop was purchased from new and was about 9 months old. I logged a call with Acer support and to start with was pleasantly surprised ...
...5 day turn around on the repair. 5 days came and went, so did a week, 2 weeks, 3weeks. I chased and got no feedback. I escalated and chased, escalated and chased. After 4 weeks the laptop was returned, it still over heated, the DVD-RW would not even read a disc, the USB ports did not work and there was a crack in the case. Eventually after a total of almost 3 months I received a replacement laptop, as they no longer made this model I received a different ... Read review

...bits and built it myself. Its more of a moveable desktop than a portable laptop though, and the software it comes with was just Windows XP Home. Acer really spent all the money on hardware. So if you have software and want an excellent laptop - buy this one! ... Read review

...know, I plumped for an Acer Aspire 3692WLMi Laptop, purchased online through ebuyer (see my review of that website too). LOOKS When it arrived the next day, I gleefully unpacked it and began setting it up. It's a good looking little laptop (it looks as good as the Sony Vaio I'd sometimes borrowed from work) and has a decent screen size (it's widescreen). SCREEN The screen is perhaps a little too reflective - I've tried using outside on a sunny ...
...indoors in normal light it is very good indeed. EASE OF SET-UP AND USE The keyboard is also nice to use as it is far enough back to be able to get your wrists flat on the front, rather than perching them on the front edge. The machine's Wifi connected to our BT homehub in seconds, giving a very strong signal.

Advantages: Well-presented, feature-packed laptop
Disadvantages: A touch slow for modern gaming

The Acer Travelmate series come generally very well-equipped to be competent laptop computers for the modern age, and the 7520 is no exception. Using the same Turion 64x2 that is quite standard in its Travelmate range, the 7520 is quick to boot; the 2GB of RAM is quite sufficient for multimedia applications such as watching DVDs - well provided for by a very able DVD drive and a very nicely presented, clear screen. As well as this, the product is ...
...for long periods, with a great touchpad. However, the screen is quite easily scratched and the battery life is really rather poor - typically you can expect approximately 80 mins on 'high performance', or longer on the more frugal but less useful 'balanced' and 'power saver' options.
