Advantages: Reasonably Priced, Fast, Reliable and rugged

Disadvantages: Acer std FAT32 partition, big size.

The Acer range of laptops had always cought my eye with their sleek looks and curvy keyvoards, price wise they are hard to beat, quality wise well some say Acer a crap in both quality and performance but I say they are quite the opposite, I have used and specified Acer machines for numerous staff at work from Engineers to Sales Directors, they perform very well and not had any complaints to date, for business use they are perfect and will last just as long as some of the HP big brothers out there. For normal users this machine packs a punch in terms of processor and RAM, the graphics are very good, on board comms including bluetooth, WiFi and plenty of USB ports too, weight wise well what would you expect for a machine of these dimensions? Lots of other useful features like the multi media buttons, on board CD/DVD Read/Write unit, touch pad maouse and not that stupid "tit" in the middle of the keyboard, the only let for me with this machine is that Acer seem to ship their computers with a stupid partition which they format in FAT32, why dont they just format the whole drive a one big NTFS partition and be done with, then just put the recovery image in a DVD.
Here are the specs, sorry I missed them out, I am a noob so please bare with me.
