Having recently purchased one of these from Amazon I am able to offer the following comments.
This is a great value for money laptop, the display is particularly impressive.
The only reason it gets 4 stars rather than five is the garbage known as Microsoft Vista Home Premium software which Acer in their wisdom chose to install on it.No one forced them to do so therefore they are responsible for the 4 out of 5 rating.
If you get one do yourself a favour and upgrade to Windows 98
Better still Windows 2000 or XP.

I had this lap top for my birthday, it's great for my simple uses! The only problem is some of my keys appear to be on the wrong way round displaying incorrect characteristics, and I can't find my pound sign!!!
 Ace kit for the price, even for a couple of hundred extra September 11, 2008

300 for a 17" laptop with Vista Premium - at this time it's a pretty awesome deal, free delivery on top.
My first laptop as I generally use desktops but have borrowed other peoples laptops so can make a comparison.
I'm assuming that many of the previous complaints are just about ignorance of the specs and inability to understand the simple instructions on how to use it, or they were supplied with a defective item which with Amazon is easy to replace, however annoying.
The 17" screen is top notch, very good picture and I can't fault it.
I can type fast and find the keyboard is good, firm with appropriate bounce and all in all easy to type with.
The speakers are loud enough for me, certainly not home theatre but clear and loud enough to hear things when there is background noise.
I like the look of the laptop and have no complaints about the material it is made out of as it keeps the weight down.
It boots fast and is ready to use very quickly, even before I loaded the 4gb of RAM I ordered along with the laptop.
The RAM slots are flimsy plastic but they do work after a fashion (not a fan of them at all) and as long as you are not regularly changing things (who would be) then its not a problem.
First time with Vista, its ok I like the look of it but it will take some getting used to I suppose, thats progress :-)
There is plenty of space to rest your hands on although the touch pad is a little big and I found my left hand thumb sometimes resting on it but have now got used to it stopping the cursor moving while typing.
I will be using this for my business, surfing and emails mainly and so far for the couple of weeks I have had it - I am very impressed....
It comes ready to use from the box and really could not be easier to set up.
For 300 its a steal and should not be missed.
I also took advantage of the Vista Ultimate Upgrade for 30 package which I have now installed on my older desktop (XP).
Ace kit for the price, even for a couple of hundred extra still would have been a good deal.
 Good value system with a major problem September 8, 2008

I bought this laptop mainly for use as a portable PC when away from home. The specification is good for a laptop of this price, however, I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading the RAM as overall performance suffers greatly when using the 1GB supplied.
Unfortunately none of us can escape the clutches of Vista now (unless you are willing to carry out a hard disk format and re-installation of XP). This would not be a problem for most new PCs, but the 1GB of RAM supplied with this laptop is VASTLY inadequate for use with a bloated and memory-hungry operating system such as Vista.
I would recommend buying this laptop ONLY if you are willing to upgrade the RAM yourself. That said, it is a very easy and low-cost process. I ordered 4GB of RAM along with this laptop. The RAM arrived within days and I had it installed in under 10 minutes, and system performance now is brilliant. The RAM cost me only 50 on top of the price of the laptop, so for an overall price of 350 this is a VERY good value laptop.
I am particularly pleased with the 17" high resolution screen which is good for gaming and multimedia applications.
Overall I cannot recommend this system enough if you are willing to spend a small amount of time and money on the extra RAM. However if you are looking for a straight-out-of-the-box high powered system and you have a bit more to spend, then a different product may be the option for you.
