Advantages: Speed and ease of use

Disadvantages: touch pad overly sensitive

I have recently purchased this laptop for my partner who is moving away abroad. It is very easy to use and also is pretty enough to keep her happy. It came with Windows Vista, this is the first time i've used this operating system and i like many of it's features paticularly when you highlight a tab at the bottom of the screen and it give syou a preview.
Some of the acer software installed with the laptop is not that great and is quite annoying having to un-install as they are all on autorun when the laptop boots up so if you do not change the preferences or un-install them you have a whole load of applications popping up when you first turn on the laptop, this can be annoying and very confusing for my partner.
In the limited time that I have owned the laptop I have noticed that the mouse pad is very sensitive and have had to turn off the click when you press the pad feature as it is overly sensitive.
Battery life is good on the laptop, but as i have not had it for very long I do not no how well it will last over time.
Overall i am happy with the speed of this machine, as it is for my partner she will only really be using it for surfing, streaming, web cam and the odd bit of work so it doesn't need to be much quicker. It comes with an adequate hardrive size for her.

Overall this is a good product at a good price and would recommend it to anyone I could have done far worse with the money I spent on this product, the only thing I have complaints about is the mouse pad, but this can be rectified by turning the click feature off on the touch pad.

Summary: Good price for what you get
