Don't buy for the orbi cam!!
By Ms. A. J. Tebbutt
I got this computer about 2 weeks ago and was initially very happy with it. It runs quickly and is easy to set up. Howver after about 2 days the orbi camera stopped working. I've contacted Acer who were not very helpful. I have spent many hours trying to get the right software etc to make it work and still no joy. Im going to send it back and get one without the orbi cam for a smaller price tag. When i checked on the net a lot of people had problems with the camera too. It is a good computer though and vista is nice to use.

Nearly unbeatable for the price...
By Astolath
This laptop is loaded with features that would only have been found on a machine costing double the price last year. The biggest advantages that I can see though are the 2GB of RAM onboard and the 160GB hard drive, which is pretty big by laptop standards. Applications just seem to fly, no matter how many I run simultaneously. The screen is excellent with quite a wide viewing angle and the keyboard feels nice and responsive. Unlike others, I've had no problem with the Orbicam software. The camera worked first time and everytime since and is another very welcome feature in a laptop in this price range. The other concern to some reviewers has been the battery life. Well, they had to make compomises somewhere to keep the costs down I suppose. Having said that, the power management software included does a good job. It throttles back the CPU, dims the screen a bit and switches off the flashy 'Aero' interface in Vista so that the graphics card doesn't have to work so hard. Surfing wirelessly, installing software and word processing, I managed to get to 2hs 9mins before it wanted to switch off and recharge. Plugged into the mains and firing on all cylinders I dare say this would make a good desktop replacement as well.All in all, a great laptop for the price. If someone manages to come up with a high capacity battery for it, it will be nearly perfect!

By Part Time Pete
First of all let me say a big thank you to Amazon for selling a high quality laptop at a low price!!I bought the laptop for the following reasons:-* Clear crisp, bright screen 15.4" with 1280 x 800 screen resolution and 16ms.* Light and quiet and very fast with 2GB of DDR2 533 MHZ memory, which is upgradeable to 4GB (2 slots of 2GB)* Good graphics card, Nvidia Geforce 7300 Go 128mb GDDR2 PCI Express. Software wise handles everything I've thrown at it! I've installed, Call of Duty 2, Need for Speed Most Wanted and UT2004 and cranked up the settings to high on all of them, and the laptop handles them with ease.* Easy to set up, Vista is already installed and registered.* Big Hard Drive 160GB with two partitions.* 5 in 1 multi - media card reader* Acer Tools such as recovery management that restores your laptop to its original settings with a hidden image on the HD. It's so easy to reinstall windows a 5 year old child could do it!* Acer Power management means you can change the power settings on your laptop to extend the life of the battery. From 2hr 12 Minutes on power save to 1 hour on high performance mode. Also gives you the options to customise power settings such as screen brightness or CPU speed.* Vista Home Premium software.(You need a Minimum of 1GB Ram to run Vista),* Decent keyboard that doesn't feel like the keys are going to drop off, with multimedia and internet functions.* 4 USB Ports, external VGA & svideo.* Built in Wireless card is excellent and has built in antenna in the screen.* Acer media centre for watching TV and music videos.* Dual layer DVD burner, pioneer that supports + and - R formats.I've had this laptop for about 6 weeks now and I have to admit to being very impressed with it and would buy it again!
