Acer Aspire 6930G

Advantages: Looks, Value, Speed, Performance
Disadvantages: Speakers sometimes break

...Well where do i start with the Acer Aspire 6930G? First of all: Appearance: The sleek smooth looking laptop looks brilliant. The Deep Sea Blue colour on the top. Also in the center of the laptop is the ACER logo which glows up white when the laptop is in use.The PC looks great when clean. However due to the material used to make the machine a few touches of your hand will quickly spoil its good looks. Also it is VERY easy to scratch but with a careful owner, a good clean from time to time and a laptop bag for storage the outside of the laptop will look top condition. After opening up the laptop: As you open the laptop and turn on the machine the first thing that hits you are the stunning blue lights that blast on as soon as you touch the power on button. With a neat touch panel running along the top of the keyboard there are volume...

Review of Acer Aspire 6930

What all laptops should aspire to.

Advantages: Plenty of features, good all-round performance, sturdy
Disadvantages: Glossy screen, a bit heavy to be truly portable

While it was still capable of running my required applications without too much trouble, the battery struggled to last ten minutes once disconnected from the mains. As a replacement battery was nearly £100, I decided just to buy a new laptop. I searched some of the forums that I frequent and found that the best value-for-money tends to be spending between £400 and £500, so with £500 as my upper limit, I went on the hunt. The Acer 6930G was the best specced laptop I could find at under £500. I sought out opinions from other Acer owners and the response was stacked well in their favour for being reliable, sturdy machines. With that in mind, I had no qualms about handing over £480 to Amazon. Initial set up can take some time, especially if, like me, you want to...

Acer Aspire 5920G Gemstone

Advantages: Good notebook computer, supports upto 4GB RAM, useful multimedia buttons.
Disadvantages: Graphics performance isn't too great.

...just right for the computer size. It cost me close to £5, and has always worked perfectly well. I recommend this computer to normal home users and students, who can if needed, make a few simple changes, e.g. add a solid state drive in place of the hard disk, and add bluetooth (which didn't come with mine), add a graphics card and replace the keyboard an alternative of your preference. I haven't added bluetooth, nor added SSD or a decent graphics card, but the options are there, although they are quite limited for some of the components....
