Review of Acer Aspire 5738ZG

ACER 17" TFT MONITOR FROM THEIR LCD VALUE LINE

Advantages: Good value, lots of adjustable features
Disadvantages: Poor viewing angles

...My second attempt at a technical product review focuses on my Acer 17" TFT Monitor AL1711. I bought it as part of a computer package around 12 months ago - purchased seperately it will set you back around £325 incl VAT. My knowledge on computer components and accessories at that time was pretty basic to say the least, so I relied entirely on the expertise of a very capable sales assistant at a trusted, highly praised specialist shop on the outskirts of Shrewsbury. The basic package didn't include a flat screen monitor so I paid around £180 extra as I wanted to avoid the eyestrain and headaches so often experienced with conventional screens. The computer package was delivered a week later and despite my limited experience, I managed to follow the colour coded cable system and had everything ready to go in a couple of hours...

Review of Acer AL1711

ACER AL1951As TFT Monitor

Advantages: Crystalbrite Background, DVI, 8ms response
Disadvantages: Bulky power supply

...I had this monitor sent to me by Acer after my previous monitor, the AL1914 was deemed beyond repair. My first thoughts were of excitement as the 1951 was of a considderably higher spec than the old monitor. My excitement became a reality when I got the monitor set up. On opening the box, I found the monitor itself, the power supply, and both a VGA and DVI cable. The stand was already pre-fixed to the monitor and this also doubles up as a wall mounting bracket, should you wish to attach the monitor to the wall. On the back of the base there are sockets for the mains power supply, one for the VGA cable, one for the DVI cable and one for an audio feed, should you wish to make use of the monitors internal speaker. Personally I prefer to use my own speakers so I am unable to comment on this feature. The first thing you will notice...

Review of Acer AL1951As

excellent, cheap acer monitor

Advantages: crystal clear screen, great to look at
Disadvantages: none

...I bought this acer model about a month ago as a birthday present for myself as i wanted a replacement for my rather bulky and ancient old monitor (it looked like it came out of the stone ages the amount of space it took up on my desk!!). I also wanted to have a bigger screen size so i could fit more msn messenger chat windows on the screen, without having to have miniscule icons! Having just finished Uni, i was looking for a cheap monitor that would perform well, and basically just be an improvement on my old one. I had no desire for anything fancy! And i have to say that i was impressed with it the moment i took it out of the box, and before i had even turned it on! Being silver (with a kind of dark grey stand) i thought it looked very attractive, and once i turned it on i was instantly impressed with the quality of the screen...

Acer P193W 19" Monitor

Advantages: Good picture quality at a cheap price
Disadvantages: No DVI input (or not on mine anyway!)

...I bought the monitor from Play.com for £150 about 6 months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised, The picture quality is good and It was very good value for money. However there is one setback. The monitor does not include a digital DVI input, only standard VGI, which is a shame, however apart from this it is a great monitor, that allows for budget wide screen viewing. I use it for watching movies, playing games and for reviewing documents and it has never let me down yet. With a 5ms refresh rate it is perfectly capable for showing fast moving images (it can refresh as quick as your eyes can see! at 20 frames per second). Overall I would recommend this monitor to anybody looking for a cheap but quality screen. if you have a bit more money then I suggest buying a Samsung, as Acer monitors are generally regarded as the budget end....

Review of Acer P193W

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.

Review of Acer Aspire 9813WKMi

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 AL2223W

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...

Review of Acer TravelMate 7513WSMi

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'.

...-books is that they're all 'much of a much-ness'. For example, there's a whole clutch of them from half a dozen makers like Acer, Compaq, HP, Toshiba etc all sporting the same Intel processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, a 160 gigabyte hard drive and a 10.1" screen, and all, it would seem somewhere around the £220-£250 mark. Likewise, they were all sporting Windows XP Home Version as their operating system. The doubtful benefits of a shift to Vista seem to have been resisted presumably to keep the price down, in the hope no doubt, that Windows 7 was 'just around the corner', which of course for main stream machines, it is. Some even sport a free Linux operating system to help even further with the shekels. THE CHOICE IS MADE Thus it was that my eye was caught by an Acer net-book sporting twice as much RAM, a 250 gigabyte hard drive, and all...
