Advantages: light, cheap

Disadvantages: odd faults

I've had my Acer for just over 16 months now and for over a year it's had a fault with the touchpad. I came back to it one day and every now and then it right clicks by itself and the actual left click button sometimes doesn't work. I've had to use a USB mouse since because the constantly appearing righ click menu is seriously annoying. I'm assuming it is just a fault with the touchpad itself, however I never wanted to bother Acer with it.

It also came with an upgrade thing for Vista, and all I had to pay was less than £15 for the P&P. Well worth it, when Vista actually works.

The laptop isn't the best in the world, but it was cheap and it does what I want it to do most of the time, though the fan overheats terribly and has to be kept on raised, hard surfaces.

It does it's job, but I still want to replace it.
