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?

After days the incredibly glossy rear screen was scratched and lead me to buying...

Acer Aspire X3200, the Office Media PC

Advantages: Tri - Core, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, HDMI Port, eSATA port, Media Card Readre and 9 USB Ports
Disadvantages: Not a lot of room in the case, and not the greatist HTPC

...connect an eSATA external Drive directly to the computer. It also has a Multi ? Media Card Reader on the front and 9 USB ports. The computer also has 3GB of RAM and a 320GB Hard Drive. All in all this HTPC is very good value for money However: As the Acer Aspire X3200 is so small it has virtually no room for any upgrades. It has no extra hard drive space, no room for extra RAM, and the internal structure is impractical, for example, the DVD drive obscures the RAM chips meaning that to upgrade or replace RAM chips you will need to remove the DVD drive too. It does have a PCI express slot, but due to the case size you can only fit a half size card in it. It does not have a pre ? fitted WiFi card and no PCI slots to add one, meaning you have to use a dongle (USB WiFi port). It also has no infrared Sensor or remote, meaning you have to buy...

Review of Acer Aspire X3200

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.

..., listen to music and write documents or chat then this will be adequate for you. Linux is easy to use and the version on this Netbook is icon driven making it easy to get to what you want. Linux comes pre-installed and there is a copy supplied on disc. Installing Windows XP Another reviewer said it was "a challenge" to install XP but didn't furnish us with info on how he done it. If you're thinking of installing Vista or even Windows 7 then don't bother. First of all they are more demanding and the memory in the Netbook isn't sufficient enough. The Acer doesn't have an internal CD drive so you will need to purchase an external one. You can get them for as little as £30 and they are sold in many places. I bought one in Tesco's because they had the best price. To install XP, power up the drive, plug the USB cable into the computer...

Review of Acer Aspire ONE A150

Acer Aspire One = Number 1!

Advantages: Small, light, comparativley powerful
Disadvantages: No external DVD drive provided. Protective sleeve

...up installing XP on it (a challenge without a CD drive but that's another story). I think would ideally suit anyone who hasn't used a computer before. If you are one of the majority who have had Micro$oft thrust upon you then go for the Windows version, unless you have the time and patience to install it yourself. There are 2 SD card slot on this machine, the one on the left hand side is intended for the the version of this laptop with SSD to expand the storage capacity. Stick an SD card in and leave it sort of thing. The other slot on the right hand side can cope with a few different formats, including SD and this is intended as your normal card reader, say from a digital camera where you take the pictures off and remove the card. The screen is clear and evenly lit, although I've experienced a slight flickering when running...

Acer Travelmate 290 Laptop Computer

Advantages: Lightweight, robust, quick
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, hard to get hold of

...Acer Travelmate 290LCi I am using this laptop currently, right now I am even typing on it I have been using this laptop for around 6 months after it was bought for my by my boyfriend who bough it off his dad for just £50 it originally started life in a school as one of their many laptops and when they updated them they were just dis-guarded. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it when I bought it and it was all wiped clean and ready to use by the time I got it. It came with Windows XP Professional already installed which is the standard operating system for this brand of laptop. Since owning this laptop it has been brilliant I had not had a laptop before this and found it great for lying in bed till late on a night on the internet, it is only very light weighing around just 2.8kg so not very heavy at all. It has a 15" screen...

Acer

Advantages: Good all round multimedia laptop
Disadvantages: Bulky, low battery life.

...Acer is a major world leader in IT solutions and are now the third largest manufacturer of laptops worldwide. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Acer

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: None

...Acer is one of the world leaders in IT systems. This is a good quality laptop that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. I've seen it for £530 (inc vat) from PC World although you...

My Ace ACER pc

Advantages: Smooth and fast
Disadvantages: has not got memory card port

...I have had this pc now for about 3 months. I got it just before christmas off my boyfriend so i could do some home study work. Have not actually got round to doing any home study work just yet, been busy lol. The price He paid for the tower, Mouse, Keyboard, Printer and Flat screen monitor was £289.99 before VAT. He got a special deal but im sure there around that price now anyway. I have seen the package minus the monitor for £259 but im sure there are better deals out there. But i think thats not a bad price anyway. Specially seen as a year ago a pc like this would have prob cost £1000. The tower comes with Intel Celeron D 3.06 GHz processor which for the price is very good. also comes with 512 MB of DDR II SDRAM memory. The Core system it comes with is microsoft xp pro, which lets face it is standard these days, although it...

acer 9301

Advantages: Built in camera and wifi enabled
Disadvantages: Not the lightest laptop available

...I recently purchased the acer aspire 9301 and so far i have been very impressed with my shiny new gadget. I picked out this model as after trying other ones that were available including the more expensive sony viao i decided that by buying the viao i wouldnt be gaining anything just wasting money on a fashion accesory. The Acer offers everything that you could possibly want and more and comes with a much more modest price tag. BASIC DESCRIPTION The 9301 certainly looks the part with its sleek silver and black exterior shell, 17 inch crysral brite tft display screen and a fabulous built in camera which swivels 225 degrees which allows the user to photograph themselves or someone sitting oposite them and can be used both for still shots and as a webcam. These features are enchanced greatly by the computers huge 120 gb hard drive...

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...
