I have the laptop for several weeks now in my possession, and I am very satisfied. Strengths I think especially the 14 "CrystalBryte screen (sharp, clear and portable), and memory (1024 MB DDR2). Performance of the Celeron 370 (1.5 GHz) attack me all the way along, and the battery life of about 2 hours too . Acer provides software (including profiles) with it to enable / disable to extend the battery life of functions and works very nice. I bought the laptop so I can work and possibly on the way a movie at home and at my internship And he can see that effortlessly draws, so I'm very happy with a similar type with a Pentium M 735 will cost € 140, -.. more, and I do not think it's worth Games I'll never be at a turning so. strong graphics card is superfluous for me. The only functionality I surely wrong Bluetooth (what could that cost, there is place for, and there's a switch on the housing). This makes it easier to just what my PDA . syncing and put a GPRS connection via my phone, but on the other hand, as the dongle punch so happened (laptop has 3x USB2) and GPRS connection, I also rarely needed. How durable is the laptop remains to be seen, but for now I am a satisfied user. Update now I have the laptop for half a year, and I'm still excited about the device. I have a month or three a clean Windows XP Professional installed, and had quite a positive effect on performance. Apparently the supplied software slowed things yet still significant, even though I had already uninstalled it necessary. I have another weak spot of the notebook found: it only has 3 USB ports, which are also all next to each other on the right side of the appliance. It has often happened to me that I had a mouse, USB and Bluetooth adapter simultaneously in use, and then there is simply nothing more (webcam, printer, scanner, etc). Moreover walk there quite a few wires near where I want mice. Furthermore I have sometimes problems with the maintenance of the wireless network. Especially if the laptop comes out of standby, he sometimes struggles to reconnect. Regarding build quality and durability as yet everything seems okay. The hinges of the screen seem to exhibit when he was new out of the box, a little more slack, but they are still plenty stiff enough. I'm pretty careful with the thing, transport him into a good laptop backpack, so he has not been damaged. Overall: still very satisfied with the device update after 1.5 years and a half years after using the laptop still works flawlessly. The battery life is still good, though there will also play a role that I properly treat the battery (not continuously connected to the charger, desktop when using more than 2 hours the battery pack). The display hinges are solid, and there's nothing much gone. I jump although with care (good bags) but use the laptop has been intense. Actually I drag him almost daily from pillar to post. My opinion on the build quality is therefore changed from adequate to good . The laptop came with a pre-fab WIndows XP Home, which I had been replaced with a similar XP Pro license. That turned spotless. Still, I could not resist to install (legally) Vista, but that was not a success. The performance left something to be desired (but not dramatically better after priming still considerably slower than XP) and I did not get the standby functions properly to work. Therefore, I am now back on XP, and turns again to their full satisfaction. Update after 2 years After nearly two years of day-in-day-out by dragging the laptop's hard disk from one day to the deceased. Officially, I had warranty (got one extension of 2 years Funds added 3 years total), but because I had a great hurry (deadline thesis) I myself have bought another drive and replace the failed disk. There was a 60GB 4200rpm drive, which I've replaced with a 120GB 5400rpm drive with 8MB cache. The performance difference is noticeable! Since I myself have replaced the drive, unfortunately I can not comment on the service of Acer. Update after a little over two years, a few months after the death of the hard drive is also the adapter deceased. Well, deceased: a wire break on the ever infamous spot just outside the box. Do not want to solder, will also not be covered under warranty thing, so I bought a universal replacement charger FSP. Also I have a month or two ago, an Intel Pentium M 735 (1.6 GHz) built. Saves not actually much compared to the original Celeron processor, only SpeedStep does make a positive small difference in battery life. Saves fifteen minutes compared to the two hours that he already insisted.
