Advantages: Cheap for spec

Disadvantages: A slow machine!

This was my first ever laptop. and in my usual style i spent a few weeks researching online to try and get an idea of what was the best brands/specs etc - and found this quite challenging, with there being such mixed opinions about almost everything! So in the end i just bought what seemed to be the best spec for the price - this one! Bought in Tesco about 2 years ago an im sitting here typing on it now!

However if i am honest i have been a little dissapointed with it throughout its life. From day one it seems to be a very slow one to boot up and shut down - and i regularly clean up my laptop defrag etc, and i dont play games often or have any bog software on it - its mainly surfing the net and word processing! So tats a shame for me, i expected more!

This seems to be the general tone for all my experiences with it - it all works but it all seems a little slow! Opening even any MS programme like Word takes a good 25-30 seconds,

The screen is good and gives nice colour reproduction so icant fault that side - sound on the speakers quite poor, but i have to say better than some laptops ive used!

Im not sure what else to say really - it doesnt have anything to rave about but also nothing to heavily criticise - it does what its meant to, just takes a while! I wont be buying Acer again!

Summary: I will avoid Acer following this experience!
