This is my second Acer laptop and is the best by FAR!! I bought it from acerdirect.co.uk for an amzing price of £468.97 which I was very proud of when I first used the beautiful laptop and it came with a 1 year warranty. It has a huge 16 inch Widescreen which is far beter than my last laptop which had a 14.5 inch screen. It weighs 3.6kg which is light enough. The laptop uses Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium system which is very good to do cooler stuff than XP. The laptop has a 3GB ram installed an you can install a further 1GB I choose not to because you get a huge 250GB Hard Drive. It has built in stereo-speakers, subwoofers, a 0.3 mp camera and a Wireless LAN arieal. There is also a cool Fingerprint reader. It has a 5 in 1 memory card reader which can read: Flash SD Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card. Sadly it doesnt have bluetooth built in but you can buy a bluetooth stick form around £8 on the internet. So overall if you want to spend under £500 for a laptop buy this from www.acerdirect.co.uk for £468.97
