Advantages: The monitor is large

Disadvantages: The touchpad is a little twitchy

Now I could start this review off with me rattling on about the specifications of the laptop, and boggle your mind with techno jargon... but I would be wasting my time because there is a tab called "Technical Details" that explains all this... I am here to give my personal feelings about this machine.

I am actually writing this review on my Acer Aspire 5715Z, so you can be assured it works.

The beauty of this laptop is that it has a big monitor. It isn't a massive widescreen, but it is great for playing films on.

The realistic battery life is about 2 hours, which is actually quite good, and it works well with vista.

The range on the WIFI receiver is also very good, and it is better than some of the ones I have seen in the upper end models of Sony laptops.

It does tend to get a little hot if you are using on your lap, so a pair of thick jeans or a cushion is advised.

There is a MINOR technical fault, and that is the touch pad is REALLY sensitive, and the slightest breeze makes it think you are clicking the mouse, and therefore it closes windows, moved the cursor in mid sentence etc... so I disabled touchpad clicking, and use the buttons instead.

The sound quality is great, and the RAM and everything internal is more than adequate for everything EXCEPT gaming... if you want to PC game, buy a desktop PC or an AlienWare Laptop.

All in all a great piece of kit

Summary: If you want a good laptop, buy this one
