Summary: Great Laptop for the price but beware of the HDD space
Comment: Great laptop for the price, but beware of the HDD space.

Its supposed to be 120GB, but you will not get that much space.

Acer say 1KB is 1000 bytes, but computers say 1KB is 1024 bytes (2^10...PCs like binary)

This is how PCs count it...
1KB = 2^10 bytes (1024 bytes)
1MB = 2^20 (1024 * 1024 bytes)
1GB = 2^30 (1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes)

This is how Acer counts it...
1KB = 1,000 bytes
1MB = 1,000,000 bytes
1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes

Acer say you have 120GB, which they count as 120,000,000,000 bytes

however: 120,000,000,000 / (2^30) = ~ 111.76 GB

So, you get 111.76 GB real HDD with this laptop. Then again Acer uses some hidden partition etc for recovery, which takes away 10GB. So you are left with around 100GB.

From 100GB, Windows Vista and Acer tools will take away around 20GB. So the remaining usuable space is around 80GB.

Summary: Fine if a little delicate...
Comment: I'm happy with the performance... this spec (ignoring disk size) for £460-£480 is good going (and significantly faster GHz for GHz and GB for GB than the desktop it was intended to usurp) even if the graphics are a little too weak for games (not particularly bothered apart from Portal) and the vertical viewing angle is extremely narrow (not that irritating though I do a lot of picture-editing) but...
...I went for free delivery which resulted in Home Delivery Network Limited leaving the package on a balcony in my stairwell where anyone could have nicked it despite two large-print requests in the stairwell to not do so - avoid this delivery method unless you're ALWAYS in...
...and the first unit I received developed an intermittent fault with the wi-fi and had to be returned...
...and the Q and S keys on the second unit scrape and only work if deliberately pushed firmly down from a very specific angle incompatible with touch-typing so a second return is required.

Unfortunately Amazon's policy appears to be that they won't send another replacement but will refund the cost though this means another trip out to the DHL depot to return the faulty unit using the pre-paid return label and another swap-everything-over, reinstall-everything and wipe-persinal-data faffing-session when the fresh-purchase replacement arrives; despite my misgivings with this make and model I shall be replacing it but this time shall pay for delivery and hope that a halfway-competent courier service is used...

Summary: Seems great so far
Comment: Got this laptop for my folks and so far it seems great. It does come with a LOT of additional software rubbish bundled in (as you'd expect), but it's a great spec for the money and a really good-looking laptop.

A word of warning, though (and why only 4 stars), this is a replacement that arrived today as the original one that arrived earlier this week was faulty and had to be returned. Amazon were superb in dealing with it, so no problems there.

Summary: Best buy
Comment: A fantastic item! got mine for christmas and haven't been disapointed. The laptop its self looks great (I believe it was part designed with the people at BMW) and the speed is phenominal! the 2GHz/2GB DDR2 model is so quick that it runs vista and ubuntu perfectly with no problems. The screen is crystal clear and shows DVDs off at there best and the webcam isn't all that bad also. The sound is surprisingly good for a laptop which is nice when on the move with no real speakers.

Conclusion - For the price, this laptop is very hard to beat. Its fast, energy efficient and very quiet. A good all-rounder
certainly a best buy
