 Excellent, pretty, easy to use, plug in and go... March 11, 2008

I'm not an expert PC user, having come off a Pentium 2 running Win 98 at home, I found the interface a bit over user friendly - by hiding (advanced) settings that were once easy to find. At first I was a bit disillusioned and overwhelmed by the change from '98 to vista, but I have to say I got up to speed quite quickly. I don't like applications that run off and do things on the internet, I feel a bit out of control, but I quickly got to grips with the settings and turned a lot of the features off.
The one thing about this PC and SW is that, due to unnecessary additional software installations, it's hard - at first - to work out what belongs to the initial operating system and what doesn't, I found this very frustrating. The screen is lovely, and you can really plug in and play straight away, I have never had this experience before; mobile phone, pen drive, network, ext keyboard, mouse, even my external monitor plugged straight in and the graphics card can handle it very well - a little bit of a refresh rate issue which needs sorting through one of those "hidden" settings I have yet to find. I really liked the look and it was well packaged and arrived quickly.
Norton doesn't have a great rep and many have told me to remove it from the machine straight away because it gobbles up the resources, I am not sure what to do just yet as I am still trying to work out what Norton is doing and why I need it; since Vista has its own firewall, and security features. Having said this I have had no bad experiences with it so far.
I will still give this PC 5 stars because it's a really great PC for the price, and although I have not come to use all the features yet, I have started to "Trust" it, and that's the most important feature of all.
Acer 5920 laptop March 8, 2008

Bought one of these two weeks ago. Everything works great. Im not a laptop expert by any means but I have certainly used them plenty. I find this acer excellent. For 440 pounds it was a great spec and the quality is absolutely fine. My friends around me have VAIOs and I dont really see what the difference is for such a huge price increase.
Battery life is good. Screen is good. keyboard mouse - yes they all work fine. I oddly even think VISTA on this machine works really well. I have never taken a computer out the box and had such a simple time of switching it on and just using it. Brilliant.
Update : I have used this for two months now. Its brilliant. I do everything with it from listening to music, watching DVDs, Wifi, photo editing, internet of course. For the money I dont think you can do better. The battery last over 2 hours easy. The processors eat up all the jobs I give it. i.e. you really can multi task lots of activities at once and it copes seamlessly. Graphics are lovely with the vista OS too. Screen really bright and clear. Wifi antenna v.good compaired to others. Stylish unit and everyone thinks its out of star trek. I see its now 400 - bargain.
I note that I havent activated the virus checker, norton.

Looks nice despite contrary reviews. All I have read about these has been good - and just look at the award logo's. And regarding the above comment - if you type "problems with ''anymake' of laptops/PC's" you will get answers ~ if anyone can find a problem-free PC or laptop I'd be interested.
 dont buy acer computers March 4, 2008

I don't know why amazon sells acer computers. Must explain why they are reducing their prices. Not only are their laptops very flimsy, but their customer support is attrocious. Don't believe me type problems with acer laptops in google and you will get your answer. Acer will have the most problems then try and phone them for help.
 Very Good Laptop December 28, 2007

I recieved this laptop for christmas and it does everything i need it to do.
One thing i didnt like was that the drive(s) were split into two partitions and were around 70gb each, and 10gb of that doesnt show up as it is used as restore, or something.
And ontop of that 30gb was already used up on the hardrive, i got it down to 20 by uninstalling a few things.
This laptop would have gotten 5 stars if it wasnt for the partition, sorry, i just dont like them.
4 Stars :)
