Summary: Value for Money
Comment: I bought this laptop for browsing the internet and general mucking about with photo's and music, so a basic bit of kit would do !!

Now I'm no expert and most of my PC experience comes from using the blooming things at work. However, as with other reviewers I have found it a little slow at getting started, but once booted up the machine is plenty fast enough for my needs and as quick as anything I've used for browsing the net, and hey I'm never in that much of a hurry at home.

Being a "computer speak" dummy, even I found initial set up easy and was up, running and connected to my wireless router in about 1/2 hour. With a comprehensive pre-loaded software package, simple functions, great sound and a very clear screen it is simply a super bit of kit to use.

The build quality seems to be pretty robust but only time will tell on that score !

In a nutshell, Great value for money, if you remember you are not buying a £500+ top spec laptop then you won't be disappointed !

Summary: One 2 buy.
Comment: True to form, this laptop is horrendously slow out-of-the-box, mainly due to the factory-shipped configuration and the fact that both Vista and Norton spend ages downloading updates once an Internet connection is made (I suggest a search on the Internet to find out what software and services to disable to speed things up). And it definitely needs more memory; I added 500Mb, as a minimum (1Gb total). The maximum screen resolution is only 1280x800 but the screen is bigger than expected, sharp and clear.

That said, this is the third acer that we've bought over the years - if you want a no frills functional laptop then this one is the best value for money! *****

Summary: A great laptop for a small price
Comment: I bought this laptop to do general stuff like browse the internet and write e-mails and it does it perfectly.

I was gobsmacked with how good the screen on it was. It's so much bigger and sharper than I had expected. I have found that some laptop screens can be slightly blurry (probably because of an anti reflective coating so you can use it outside) but this doesn't seem to suffer from that problem. I've not tried it outside but at home it's brilliant. I love watching movies on it with my headphones on. Just amazing!!!

One word of warning though, it was quite slow when i got it so I upgraded the RAM. I got an extra 1Gb of ram from Crucial for about £15 and it now works fantastically. It's 100 times better than the computer i thought i would get.

If you are after a cheap computer then buy this (and upgrade the RAM) and you won't be disapointed.
