4.0 out of 5 stars Good Price, December 1, 2009

Great Price but word to the wise. Laptops do not come with restore disks these days and I have found that the restore on the physical laptop itself corrupts and typically user cannot restore original factory image. While trying to create a restore disk with Acer's software I got errors and was unable to burn a restore disk. I called Acer and they will be sending me a free restore disk. The error was 0x207. If the computer crashes and you do not have a restore disk you will be down and then have to pay big bucks Acer's technical support, so try burning a restore disk right away and if you can't call Acer right away. After the 90 day software warranty, you will have to pay by credit card for support.

The speakers on here are horrible. When trying to watch an online video I have to put my ear on the speaker. No joke. I supposed you get what you pay for, but geez. Everything else was great so this really spoiled it for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent for the money (beware no microphone, weak speakers), February 3, 2010

The Good: For the money, it's decent spec: Dual core CPU, 3 Gig Ram, 320Gig hard drive. It runs fairly well.


The Bad: No microphone, very weak speakers, only 2 USB cards

I originally bought a high end system that kept getting delayed delivery, so I figured I get this system on the low end to get me by for a year or so. It should make a decent "travel+school" computer since if it gets lost, damaged, stolen, I have under $400 invested.

Recommendation: Get this is you need for school and basic office work stuff. Should be okay for some games. DO NOT get this system if you are huge multi-tasker or bigtime gamer.
