Advantages: Nice sized screen Really fast

Disadvantages: Vista!!!!

I got this laptop for Christmas and it has not broken down or crashed or done anything like that once yet. These are the laptops specs
Intel Celeron M530 Santa Rosa
Memory:1GB RAM
Hard Drive: 80GB Hard Disk Drive
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel GM960 Express chipset with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Optical Drive: DVD SuperMulti, CD/DVD reader/writer for all types of CD/DVD discs
Connectivity: Wireless LAN B/G, 3 x USB 2.0 Ports
Operating System: Windows Vista Basic: Additional Software: Acer Empowering Technology, Acer Arcade, Norton Internet Security Trial, Adobe Reader, NTI CD Maker
Display Size: 15.4" WXGA TFT Display with Acer CrystalBrite technology
It has A microphone socket, headphones socket, expandable memory slot, projector output socket, printer output socket and a built in microphone. It is powered by windows vista Basic but can be easily upgraded if you have the cash. The battery is OK it lasts for 2 hrs on full charge on high performance mode and last for 2 and a bit hours on balanced power setting and lasts for 2 and a half hours on power saver. I mainly use the laptop for playing games on the internet which it is really good for but you would need broadband to get the most out of them. I have got a few games on CD's This laptop with it being vista plays most of them but not all of them I also have Lost planet which if game for windows it works on vista but with this laptop it is quiet jumpy when playing it so you need to take the resolution down and the graphics settings down which is quiet a bummer unless you buy extra RAM which would make it better and a lot smoother. The keyboard is responsive a really good size which makes the whole laptop smaller. Is also has a touch pad which gets quiet annoying at first because of when you are typing you sometime his it by mistake and it either click of the part you are typing or makes it type somewhere else but you can make it so that when you are using the keyboard it is disabled until you stop using it. The volume on the laptop is really good it has Realtek HD audio manager on it. All in all this is a great value laptop which is good for everything such as surfing the web playing games watching films viewing your family pictures or anything else you can think of. I really Recommend getting this laptop if you need a nice powerful laptop capable of doing almost everything!

Summary: Great laptop for almost everything
