Acer Aspire 5315 - Great value, Great performance

Advantages: Quick. Plenty of file space. Quiet. User friendly.
Disadvantages: Generally comes with Vista which I dont think is the best Microsoft product, but visually pleasing

..."You don't need to spend loads of money to get a good laptop these days. The Acer Aspire 5315 is cheap to purchase, a good performer and user friendly." "Spec of laptop:" 1/2GB of RAM as standard Comes with an Intel Celeron Processor 15.4" Acer CrystalBrite screen 80GB Hard Disk Drive DVD RW (Able to read and write both DVD's and CD's) 802.11 WLAN (Allows you to connect to a WEP or WPA wireless network) 3 x USB Ports Initially I bought this for University to cover all my coursework/notes. I had to install Microsoft Office on there myself as it only comes with a trial version for Office 2007. The trial is for 30 days which is good as you can have a play about with it as you get used to the new features that Vista has compared to XP rather than worrying about having to install all your applications on straight away. I used...

Acer Aspire 5738G-644G50MN

Advantages: Bright screen,Huge memory
Disadvantages: Odd Glossy finish, annoying mouse button

...A bright 15.4 inch screen, huge hard disk, and seemingly unlimited levels of memory make this a great home laptop, this to me seems where it is best suited rather than as a business notebook. Its reasonable if not good price make this centrino laptop a very good choice. - Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit, Sp1) - Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 (2.00GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB) - 15.4? HD Acer CineCrystal LED LCD - 4GB DDR3 Memory - 1244 MB Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD - 250 GB Hard Drive - DVD SuperMultiDl with BluRay disc drive - 0.3 megapixel integrated webcam - Purchased from PC World £450 Build: While i wouldn't say its likely to fall apart, this laptop isn't one i would fancy dropping down the stairs. After days the incredibly glossy rear screen was scratched and lead me to buying...

Review of Acer Aspire 5738ZG

My lovely laptop!

Advantages: easy to set-up and use, lots of useful features
Disadvantages: weight, shiny screen!

...Acer Aspire 5315 I got my acer 5315 as part of a deal from the carphone warehouse with a mobile phone contract, so i won't say it was free because I have an 18 month contract to pay for, but it was a really good deal!! Having shopped around a bit they cost around £270-£300 to buy. I'm no computer whizz and just wanted a reliable laptop to do my work and access the internet on, this is ideal. I had never heard of acer until my boyfriend got one of their laptops last year and i've been using his since, so am now familiar with the brand and like it. This particular model has a 15.4'' CrystalBrite LCD glossy screen, the outer casing is all black with the acer logo in silver in the middle. The screen surround is black and the keyboard is pale grey. The keyboard has quick keys at the top for WLAN settings and volume. It also...

My Aspire Review

Advantages: Playing Games, and Browsing the Internet, Built in Wifi..
Disadvantages: Slow when loading multi Programs,

...I got this for a christmas present, after my old Laptop got broke. Acer are quite a good company, and sell quite a lot of good laptops and this Aspire 5315 is idel for someone who just want's to use Microsoft Office or browse the internet. But if your looking to chat away on msn, listen to music and browse the Internet all at the same time. I would strongly recomend going for a bigger and better laptop. Don't get me wrong this Aspire 5315 does do well playing games such as Rollercoaster Tycoon and Counter Strike.. Now let's move onto the Keyboard. The keys on the keyboard are not that very well placed onto the laptop. As I had accidently dropped my phone onto the keyboard when 1 letter had come out, and was unable to place back in. The 15.4 LCD Screen is awesome, for watching widescreen movies and playing those really cool games...

Review of Acer Aspire 5315

Acer plays the Ace card again!

Advantages: Small, lightweight, great performer. Can handle some 3D games.
Disadvantages: None for the Netbook, but Linux version is rubbish.

...I have revised my review after using the netbook for a while. I purchased the Acer A150 because I was going on a cruise and wanted something small and light. I decided on the Linux version of this netbook for £235, the Windows XP version is around £269. The Operating System First thing I need to say about it is Linux, what a joke with its limited functions and the hassle you need to go through to add new features. I wanted DivX support so I could watch movies at night but after a few hours looking for a suitable program and drivers I gave up. Linux isn't as straightforward as Windows and in many cases you have to open up a console and type commands when you want to install or make changes to an installation. I gave up and Installed Xp pro. If you are purchasing a Netbook with Linux and all you want to do is surf the net...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Ugly appearance, but performs well

Advantages: Cheap, good value, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Horrible Appearance, heavy, bulky

...After knocking a full cup of tea over my laptop (and destryoing the insides completely) I claimed on my insurance and was sent an Acer Aspire 5315. It costs around £300 to buy in the shops, placing it at the bottom end of the price range for laptops at the moment, which vary from £300 to over £1000. Basically the laptop comes with 1GB memory and 80GB hardrive. It has a 15'' screen and built in wireless technology. APPEARANCE It's quite bulky and very heavy, with the top half (screen and back of the screen) being black and the keyboard being a horrible grey colour. Personally I'm not keen on this contrast and think it would look a lot smarter if it was all black. When the lid is closed however it does look quite sleek. Apart from the bulkyness and contrasting colours I don't think this product rates too bad on appearance as I...
