 BSOD - Takes me back October 24, 2008
I bought this laptop after reading the reviews posted here an optimistically expected another cracking laptop from Acer.
I don't know if I bought a Friday afternoon manufactured model but it seems probable. I currently also own an Aspire 3000 of the same brand and have found this laptop superb hence my return to Acer.
The problem I encountered initially was the downloading of the O\S on-line and thus the lag in initial operation. This I found tolerable as I knew it would eventually realise itself as a better, faster and more reliable computer.
The next problem was quite severe however that of the finger whitening vibration emanated whence playing an audio CD (benchmarked for vibration in the trusty 3000).
The final fault that caused me to return the laptop was the classic and rarely seen BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occuring no less than four times in the space of a fortnight. Seeing this took me back a little to a hardware configuration fault I once tried to overcome when constructing my own PC once, ah the good old days.
Sadly I am dissappointed and am now investigating other Laptops, possibly a Linux based one.
 please note - no operating disc supplied October 7, 2008

No problems with the computer but if you are going to surf you will know about viruses making a nuisance in operating systems and this laptop comes without the disc. I had never considered that any computer would be supplied without the disc. I have asked to change the laptop to a model provided with a disc
Great product and value October 6, 2008

I was nervous about buying a laptop for my twins, aged 11 and ten year old. Although I use one myself I am a bit of a novice. However I've been delighted with this product. It was exceptional value, I managed to set it up in a short time, including very easy to use parental controls. Even linking it to the other laptop, printer and internet via wi-fi was made easy by on-screen instructions. have seen it written that it is not good for playing games on, but my children have already managed Flight Simulator and Harry Potter games without any difficulty. The laptop itself feels solid and looks good and the battery lasts well. My only criticism, and it has been made by other reviewers, is that the cursor doesn't always seem to be completely under control of the mouse ! Overall I have been extremely pleased with it as a simple, robust, easy to understand, good value laptop for general domestic, students etc.
 Very Happy With It October 6, 2008

I've had mine for close to a month and I'm very happy with it.
I'm no Laptop expert, but I like this. It makes my five year old PC look like an antique.
I mainly use it for the Internet and writing programs, so I haven't really tested it's full potential, but it hasn't shown any weakness in anything so far.
It's easy to set up. I was connected wireless and online in minutes.
It has a good build quality and looks good.
For the price I would say it's a steal. I would definitely recommend it.
Good product for the money!! October 2, 2008

I bought this laptop as a secondary computer as my Fiance and i would always argue over using the "main" computer as its connected to our TV for a monitor. After searching Amazon for a while i came across this one, at first the name put me off but some rapid "googleing" soon put my mind at ease. I ordered it and 2 days later it arrived in perfect condition. Since then we have had 3 months worth of fantastic performance (for a secondary PC). It is on for around 2-3 hours a day and although the battery isn't great the mains really isnt a problem. The screen is bright and adjustable the sound is OK but would suggest headphones are probably better. Overall i am very happy with it and have absolutely no regrets. A good all rounder!!
