For the price.... Perfect. The acer Aspire 5738ZG

Advantages: ram, processor speed, design, screen, price
Disadvantages: none so far

...After giving up on my 2003 Packard Bell laptop, I decided to buy a new one. Now with 1000's of laptops available on the market. Where do you start? How do you decide which one is better than the other. First look at your budget. I had up to £400 to play with. You can get a good Laptop for this price nowadays. Whats a good laptop? I wanted something fast. Tired of wating yonks for web pages to load. Tired of crashing programs. So good RAM too. For speed you need a good processor and RAM. With this computer I got both at a good price. 4 gb of RAM and a intel core duo 2 processor wont leave you stuck in mud. I wanted a good quality screen too. It has a nice and bright 14.5 inch screen, It is glossy and slick. Very nice. You can watch movies on it no problem and video games too. Mine came with 150gb of hard drive. Enough...

Acer Aspires To Be A Proper Laptop, And Nearly Pulls It Off

Advantages: Very portable, excellent keyboard. Battery life OK but not what is stated
Disadvantages: Slow to boot from 'cold'.

...version of Vista', to which someone else quipped (not me I might add, but it does come under the category of things I wish I'd said!), "I didn't think you could polish a t**d!". FIRST IMPRESSIONS "Doesn't it look pretty?" being one of them, as it gleams all shiny and metallic maroon at you. "Isn't it slim?" being another. Stripped of a DVD drive it's only a tad over 1" thick when folded up. Having an 11.6" diagonal screen prevents it from being ultra-narrow, but if it was, there'd have to be some compromise on the size of keys used on the keyboard, and that criticism certainly can't be levelled at this little beauty with its '100% Finger Tip Keyboard'. Honestly, full-sized keys straight from a normal Acer laptop. All they've done is shave a millimeter off the gap surrounding them. These keys are the nicest and most well-proportioned I...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE 751h-52Bk

Acer Aspire Laptop

Advantages: Hi-Tech, Secure, Full HD, Powerful processor, Very good multimedia - gaming, film etc
Disadvantages: Heavy, Not for travelling long distances with

...This laptop is quite expensive so only invest in it if you seriously use a lot of power. I think i spent £700 on it but it's worth it, I've had it a year and it's still top of it's range beating any commercial laptop. WIth 4GB RAM, 380GB storage 2.0GHz processing power this laptop is good for it's time although with all this power it's quite a heavy thing so if your looking for portability I wouldn't recommend this one, I've had to leave it at my flat going home sometimes as it's just to heavy to carry and travel with it. If it's sheer power your after then this is the one for you, It's good for gaming and making music, watching films etc with a HDMI output to link to the TV having dual monitors or just to use to watch a film on the big screen with full HD. The laptop monitor is Full HD widescreen with 5.1 surround built into it, but...

Review of Acer Aspire 8930G

Not Something to Aspire To

Advantages: Cheap and reasonable specs.
Disadvantages: Unreliable/.

...The Acer Aspire is, or more accurately was, a basic entry-level laptop. I say was as you probably can't buy one new any more, but this may be useful for someone buying one second-hand. I bought my Acer for simple tasks such as browsing the net etc, I have a powerful desktop PC that I use for game playing etc and so I was happy to buy a cheap and low-spec laptop such as the Acer. Specifications: The laptop has a 15 inch screen which is fairly small compared to most modern laptops, but fine for just surfing the net etc. It comes with a Sempron CPU running at 1.8Ghz, which is fine when running Windows XP (The default O/S) but I think it would struggle with Vista, especially when you consider that you get 256 MB RAM. The 40GB hard drive is small, but again if you are only surfing etc then that should be fine. The laptop...

Review of Acer Aspire 3000

Acer Aspire 3500 series

Advantages: Cheap with alot to offer
Disadvantages: doenst have microsoft word

... Overview When I started my GCSE year I was advised by a graphics teacher to buy a laptop because it would be a great help, as it would mean that I could get on with the designing work in and out of school. I decided that I didn?t want to spend a lot of money so I looked around and I found this Acer for £349.95 in Tesco, this was nearly two years ago and I have still been hard pushed to find a laptop with the specifications on offer hear for the same or a similar price. Hard drive This laptop has a lot to offer for a start it comes with a quite large hard drive, it has 30 GB, which may not seem like much but remember this is only a laptop so it wont be as big as a normal PC, and also this is a budget laptop so you are getting a lot for your money. I have now used this laptop for two years now and now have two years...

Be inspired by the Acer Aspire One A110

Advantages: Price, size, speed
Disadvantages: None so far

...--Background-- My wife has always moaned that she could never get onto the family PC as it was always being used by either my kids or myself. After doing a bit of research, she convinced me to buy her the Acer Aspire One netbook which she would use for web browsing and writing simple documents. I was a bit sceptical of the device, after all, to me it was just a cheap laptop. But, alas, she won and off I went to Currys armed with my credit card to begrudingly buy her one. --In the box-- The box in which the Aspire comes is very small. You'd be able to fit it under your arm and carry it no problem. As well as the netbook, there was a mains battery charger, a user manual and a recovery cd which I thought was strange considering there isnt a cd driver in the netbook!! --Initial Setup-- I must admit I found this impressive...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A110-AB

Acer Aspire 6920G - mid-range laptop of the year?

Advantages: Great Design, Powerful components, Blu-Ray, good value for money
Disadvantages: heavier than comparable notebooks, makes 15.4" screens look ugly

...After 3 weeks of owning the acer aspire 6920G i can safely say it is the best laptop i have ever used (or even see other people use), the elegant design, uniquely awesome 16" screen and the great price/performance ratio makes for one great laptop. One of the first things you will notice when you first turn on the laptop is the 'Cinedash' media bar on the left of glossy keyboard. Essentially it is just a funkier version of the standard media hotkeys prevailent on all but the most budget of laptops, but it is a wonder to behold. If nothing else it just makes the whole of the laptop seem just that little bit more stylish, even if it does attract the attention of every friend/family/flatmate/spouse, meaning that for all the faffing with the touch pad volume slide, you can hardly get a chance to use the laptop yourself at first...

Review of Acer Aspire 6920G

Aspiring to be inspiring! Is this another Ace Acer?

Advantages: SUPERB battery life, relatively portable and very slim.
Disadvantages: For basic and general business use, not games.

...Here we have a very mixed laptop in terms of its features and abilities. Firstly, I want to make clear that the Acer Aspire 4810T is a laptop to consider for business use, or non-graphics-intensive applications such as Word, Excel and standard internet browsing. If you are expecting to be able to play the latest video games and run graphics designer packages, then you'd be better off looking at other laptops with better stats than this one. What it does have in its favour is an increased battery life of around 7 hours, possibly as much as 8 - and a very slim and portable design with a gorgeous 14" screen. It is in a word SEXY! Yes, I would consider dating this laptop. If it were a person. Which it isn't. One can dream! Um, I'm getting sidetracked....... Hard drive -------------- There is a very reasonable 250GB...

Acer Aspire 5542 Oh dear

Advantages: Great graphics, fast for browsing the net
Disadvantages: Battery life is useless

...Good laptop all in all , fantastic graphics though and extra fast for browsing, but, the battery life is hopeless, 1 to 1 and a half hours use after 24 hours of charging. Very disappointed that we won't be able to use it on long journeys. Also no manual, which is ok for people who know computers well and how to set them up. So we struggled a little on the main set up. It's the first time ever we have had a product that hasn't come with an operating manual or a set up manual. Very disappointed. Would I advise anyone to buy this product, probably not if they intend using it for taking on journeys or for work purposes. It's good as a basic model if all you want to do is browse the web and save a few things like photos, but it's no good for gaming, or for holding too many big files....

Acer Aspire 6935G

Advantages: Great look, tv - tuner, great to use, competitive price.
Disadvantages: Off-centre keyboard, less than average battery life.

...I don?t know if you can be a fan of a computer company, but if you can, then I?m an Acer fan (and accidental poet). This laptop is a fine addition to an excellent range. Look Lightweight, futuristic, classy and sporting a few unique features, such as an interesting shaped space bar and, for seemingly no reason, an off-centre keyboard, this didn?t bother me that much, but it may be something to consider when buying it. The Acer Aspire 6935G definitely pulls off a look of its own. It is a reasonable size for a laptop and quite ergonomically designed. Function It comes with everything you?d expect from a laptop as well as an in-built TV tuner complete with attached remote control. The keyboard, despite being off-centre was well-built and features a standard QWERTY layout; it comes with a reasonably sized and sensitive...
