Johnny powerful and fast laptop I bought a lot over the years and have many computers in my house. When it came time to upgrade to a new laptop, I looked long and hard at all out there around the 500 mark. It's very hard to find a laptop that has everything you want in one package. This is no exception. The only thing I find intriguing is that he has a mono speaker. True, but a speaker on the power button. After some reflection, I realize that I never hear anything on my laptop dings and not random YouTube videos without using my bluetooth headset. It has bluetooth built in! There is another version of this laptop with a processor of <a href="http://www.webearphone.com/beats-by-dr-dre-studio-c-01.html"><strong>monster beats by dr. dre</strong></a> 2.2, but smaller hard drive for more money. Not worth the extra if you ask me. I put this as a great all around laptop. The easy normal web browsing, email, office applications, handles, but the power of Photoshop and video / DVD editing, if necessary, the price is as good as it gets for a notebook with these specifications. The good: * 2.1 Phenom X3 processor. Quickly and can unlock the fourth core? Need to investigate. * 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM. Can be upgraded to 8 gig here with a kit for about 80 if that much * Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, most inexpensive laptops are 32 bit. * Large wireless signal, B, G and N and gigabit wired networking fast * I use this with my server and are worth! * 500 GB hard drive * Large multi-touch pad with scroll function * The screen is very bright and clear. I like glossy screens compared to the matte finish, this is a glossy. * Wide * Not much pre-installed junk. Seriously, this is the &quot;cleanest&quot; factory-built computer I ever bought! Well done Acer! * Quiet and cool. Something you would not believe a Phenom in a laptop would be. * Has 3 USB ports, HDMI and VGA and a SD card slot, things I had to have * Radeon HD 4250 works well for what I do. The not so good: * Only one speaker, just a weird thing that it seems to make room for them and they can not save as much money for it. * 5400 RPM hard drive .... I would prefer to go faster 7200, but can live with it. * Battery life is not so hot, about 2 hours if your lucky. I rarely use it on battery, but if you do, get a replacement for it. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Nice laptop by Anthony D. Nice laptop. 4 GB DDR3 memory and 500 GB SATA hard drive (5400 RPM) - great for the price ( 399.99) are being sold on Amazon. Of course it would be nicer if it had a 7200 RPM hard drive, but still fantastic. Surfing the Internet, streaming HD video on the internet, play older games - all very quickly. AMD Athlon (tm) triple-core processor is a better processor for this notebook build. Where the cost savings come in - triple-core AMD quad-core processors are actually one of the cores disabled / blocked because it is defective This does not affect the overall processor cores or three jobs, but by default AMD is selling at a large discount. Unlocking the fourth core is possible but not recommended for stability more than likely <a href="http://www.041823.com/view.php?id=1821"><strong>Laptop Power Supply | COMPUTER BAZAAR</strong></a> become a problem. In addition, this particular processor, it can not simply open through the BIOS, which may have had their nuclei with three central quarter blocked. This would work on physical hardware. Bloatware - minimal and easy to remove. LED display - good but not great. Websites look great and video quality is average. 1.3 megapixel webcam - Nice video quality but not HD. But it is much better than a 0.3 megapixel webcam that you find in 90 percent of laptops. Operation of the laptop - very quiet, even under heavy use. Not very hot, but I have laptop to see run cooler, I would be in the middle of the road in relation to the execution of temp. Housing and the palm rest of the notebook - very thin plastic. Seems good, but be careful that it does not fall over even an inch. I'm sure.
