Advantages: Lightweight and compact
Disadvantages: Speaker volume

I bought this Acer to complete work for university and it is very reliable. It is small and light which is great if you have to carry it around a lot. It is also really sturdy - mine has been bashed about as I carry it constantly to and from university and I have never had a problem with it. The battery lasts for ages - nearly 2 hours and charges really quickly - just over an hour. The screen is bright and very clear. The hard drive is 2 hard drives ... Read review

Disadvantages: Integrated graphics, lack of ports, single PCMCIA slot, noise

The Acer Aspire 5000 series is the first to see the AMD Turion 64-bit. It was designed to be low cost, low heat, low power consumption yet powerful. This has enabled it to act as a desktop replacement for me. It was time I got a notebook computer so I could take it into school, and my main PC was on its last legs. Therefore I looked around for some computers. I needed a notebook to develop my software, edit my photos, compose music and other medium ...

I purchased my Acer 5003wmli Laptop from a seller on ebay, i paid around £360 including postage. After some great use of the laptop over a period of around 8 months i had a major problem, a resistor blew on the motherboard. The blown resistor caused perment damage to my board and other devices but thankfully some where not damaged. As repairing the laptop was practically impossible due to the damge caused i decided to sell all the parts on ebay and ...

Advantages: Features, size and design
Disadvantages: Not good enough for gaming

...me. As a fan of HP products, I chose from the DV6500 range available at the time. This laptop had every spec I required for both using as a station for university assignments, as well as home use for music, film and gaming. Firstly, the design is eye-catching. I was bored of looking at the generic black or grey and thought the white anti-scratch surface was ideal. The laptop is also quite light and the absense of a locking clip meant there was less ...
...more than my money's worth! HP also frequently offer discounts so it's always worth checking to see what deals are to be had. As well as the remote control that is stored away when not in use, another of my favourite features is the fingerprint reader. When you use the internet on a frequent basis, remembering usernames and passwords can be frustrating. For anyone who hops from website to website, I'd highly recommend this feature. Thankfully I ...

Advantages: Good looks, most basic equipment you would need, able to handle most programs
Disadvantages: Not suitable for games, some aspects feel cheap

...However, I will warn that Toshiba have placed quite a lot of branding on the software. The Toshiba wallpaper is easy to get rid of, but there are numerous 'memory eating' programs that Toshiba claim to help your laptop - they do nothing worthwhile. Certainly nothing that Windows can't do better. Separate programs for controlling the touch pad aren't required, and uninstalling all of this non-essential software frees up storage space and memory. ...
...ethernet port for my internet, and have had no issues with either. The ethernet is very straight forward plug and play, and connects to your ISP in seconds. The display is extremely crisp and sharp, and the brightness can be changed to suite your needs (and energy consumption). On the subject of energy consumption, this laptop isn't too bad compared to some I have used. I can run my laptop in high performance mode using wireless LAN for internet, ... Read review
