Advantages: Compact, value for money
Disadvantages: no USB ports for mouse etc!

Had never heard of the Acer brand before but as the laptop was on special offer in shop and appeared to be a bargain, we gritted our teeth and went ahead. Over the first few weeks after purchase we realised that the laptop has no USB ports or ports for mouse etc so you have to use the touch pad, like it or not. However for a basic, home use laptop for the average user it does what it needs to do! Would not recommend this model for any business use ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, great performing reliable laptop
Disadvantages: dull screen & can get quite hot

An excellent laptop providing value for for money giving a great performance. I run mostly graphics/music programs which are RAM/processor intensive and this laptop deals with them easily. I have also run many games on the machine, with it running all of them pretty well! Its design is standard, nothing exciting! the keyboard is quite firm, but nice to type on. The screen is pretty sharp but maybe a bit dull compared to other laptops. It can also ...

Advantages: Big, clear screen, great for photos and video, easy to use, well equipped

The integrated media centre of Vista is so like iLife but just fails to hit the slickness of Apple's flagship media centre. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and I am reluctant to say, I like PC's more than Macs now. ... Read review
