Well i am currently here typing on my Acer right now, with no problems at all! 3 years ago roughly i was in Argos looking for a laptop, one that did everything for around £300, when i stumbled across this one on sale. I hadnt really thought about Acer as a name to trust, but i must say how wrong i was. I have owned many computers, laptops etc in my house and personally and this one has out lived the others. I am not too much of a technical person so i will write my review for someone similar! I find the display on the laptop very good, its easy to adjust the resolution and doesnt go down too much when you have not got it plugged in. The mousepad is extremely reactive and in a really good position. The keys have not come loose and they also are in a good typing position. I find the memory on it good, storing much needed music and films. A negative i would say is i think it can lag a bit compared to others when playing games, my Sims game doesnt seem to work very well at all. Its perfect for managing settings and looking realy good when doing work on in public places. The battery life is good considering others and doesnt take long to fully charge at all. I would say it is a must buy for a person wanting a cheap but good laptop.
