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 Extensa 4220

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...Acer notebooks are really famous in all the world, mostly because of their notebooks price and reliability. I have used many series of Acer notebooks and all the time, when I use some Acer notebook, I't pretty amazed. All the time I think, how Acer can make so good and powerful notebooks, but seriously, I don't understand. I used Acer Extensa 4220 about 4 months ago first time, after that, my friend got it for his birthday. I was really amazed, because of this notebook outlook and weight. It's really portable, and really lightweight, so you can bring it with your, where every you want. Acer Extensa 4220 Specifications *System Type - Notebook *Built-in Devices - Stereo speakers, wireless LAN antenna *Width - 13 in *Depth - 9.8 in *Height - 1.6 in *Weight - 5.3 lbs *Processor - Intel Celeron Dual Core 1.73 GHz *RAM...

Acer Extensa 5210 notebook

Advantages: No inbuilt bluetooth adapter
Disadvantages: Acer Extensa 5210, DDR2 512MB, 80GB HHD, 1.6ghz Celeron processor, WLAN, DVD writer:

...Acer Extensa 5210, DDR2 512MB, 80GB HHD, 1.6ghz Celeron processor, WLAN, DVD writer: My laptop came with a Windows Vista basic installation. (For those who would like to instal Windows XP your warrant may fly through the window. I needed to get XP SATA drivers on floppy to install XP...and also changed the bios version (refer to instruction on acer website). Anyone purchasing it will notice that it has a blue tooth adapter sliding switch on the front face, only that I did not realise at first glance that there was actually no bluetooth adapter inside. One has to buy an external bluetooth adapter to use with this laptop...but the laptop has bluetooth capability...only no internal BT adapter. Overall perforemance: good...

Acer Extensa 5620-1A2G12Mi

Advantages: great spec, better price.
Disadvantages: could look a little better

...This laptop is the Acer Extensa 5620-1A2G12Mi. The extensa is a new model from acer and although they have been working on it for over a year now it wasn’t until a few months ago that these laptops went on sale. I still don’t think that it’s a brand of acer laptops that most people will be familiar with yet however I think it will grow and they will get better and more and more people will buy them just like what happened with the travel mate and the aspires. Its basically a follow up from the Acer aspire however the aspires were made mainly to keep at home and for a laptop to use around the house. These new extensa models though are not only made or that but also incorporate the design specification of the older travel mate models so that they are also quite portable so really it gives you the opportunity to use your...

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?

brand new range from acer

Advantages: lots of uses
Disadvantages: design hasnt changed much

...This laptop is from the leading laptop manufacturer at the moment which is Acer. They have only recently in the past few years become better known for their laptops and desktops and because of their good customer service great laptops and all at a cheap price they are now at selling other companies like dell and Sony at laptops. This one is the Acer Extensa 5620-1A1G12Mi. The Acer extensa is a really new model of laptop from Acer and there have already been quite a few introduced by Acer in the past month. They have been working on this new type of laptop for quite a while now and there will be a lot more laptops to come out of the extensa model. Its basically a follow up from the Acer aspire however the aspires were made mainly to keep at home and for a laptop to use around the house. These new extensa models though are not only...

Quality Laptop, Quality Price!

Advantages: Good speed, good memory, very portable, great price.
Disadvantages: Processor could be better.

...This Acer Extensa 5220 laptop is ideal for anyone on a budget. However don't be fooled by the low price, this laptop still has power. The Intel Celeron processor is more than powerful enough for any home or student. Including a good sized memory (80GB), Windows Vista Home Basic and a DVD rewriter this laptop is excellent value for money. The 15'4 screen allows for excellent viewing for DVDs and gaming, but does not mean the laptop is heavy and could be easily portable to use all over home/school/college/university. Overall i believe this laptop is excellent value for students who are not looking to spend alot of money, but still want a good quality laptop which will allow them to complete most tasks....

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

cheap laptop

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: could be quicker

...use your laptop for whatever you want to use it for. This one looks a bit different from previous acer laptops and also some other acer extensas, I think the reason for this is that it’s a bit more portable than the other ones so perhaps that’s why they have changed the design for it so you can tell it’s a portable one. It looks kind of rounded and the base going in at the sides makes it appear really thin and sleek. It is just one colour though, black which makes it appear a bit dull but it doesn’t look terrible and actually looks kind of modern. It only has a basic 1gb of ram installed however it is just a basic laptop and with a cheap price so you cant really expect that much out of it. It can handle a maximum of 2gb though so you could easily buy another 1gb of ram for under £20 and just easily install it...

Review of Acer Extensa 4220-101G08Mi

Hot, black and in my lap.

Advantages: Robust, decent enough basic function
Disadvantages: Not much software, runs slow, pointless hard drive partition

...I last reviewed a budget laptop at the tail end of 2000. It had cost me £1,000 and I didn't like it much. Now I'm typing this review on an exponentially faster laptop with more than 40 times the hard disk space, and it was a quarter of the price. Truly, we are living in the future. I still don't like it much. Extensa 5220 I bought this machine so I could work on novels and short stories without leaving my bed. I really am that lazy and I make no apology for it. To look at, it's a totally standard laptop, the screen folds down over the keyboard with a single catch at the front. There's one of those trackpad things which people seem to hate so much, but I've never had a problem with them at all. There are a few variations of this model, and some have a built-in webcam. Mine is probably the last laptop ever built that...
