The Acer 1363WLMi seems to be a product that really is too good to be true when you look at some specifications. The tweaker on a budget will therefore be quick eye on this product. Numerous features and beautiful details adorn this laptop that is also extremely beneficial to the price. Personally I liked the all-in-one idea of this laptop great and because he was very cheap, I also decided to buy this laptop. Unfortunately, this laptop again confirms the statement: "Cheap is expensive". The moment you pull open the box you think everything is still perfectly fine. You put the laptop on your desk down and hang him on the juice. At the first touch everything feels good, and full of anticipation you turn on the notebook. He starts up, you stop the FreeBSD boot CD in it and to your great surprise, he just start Microsoft Windows. You put the laptop from a change BIOS settings to boot up from CD. You reboots and reappears Microsoft Windows. Apparently Acer wants you first install Microsoft Windows before you throw it away. This done, and then he wants to boot from CD. So that's minus 1. Then you get into sysinstall in FreeBSD, what you see that Acer has been able to make one disk of 60 GB. 4 partitions so rude And there we have minus 2. Fortunately, this is undone in no time. then you decide a dual boot Windows XP Pro / FreeBSD to make. Aside from some minor installation problems with both OSes this goes well. You put Windows XP on it to ensure that you can watch movies on your TV. Using the TV-Out of your laptop With x.org / KDE is difficult to install, and you do not like doing difficult. After days really sucks and cursing and swearing you throw in the towel at down there, under both Windows XP and FreeBSD does not get the TV-Out to work. This turns out to be defective. Voila, minus 3. The wireless, DVD burner, the sound is fine to get under both OS. underway That makes a person happy. Unfortunately recognize the latest nVidia drivers, the GeForce FX 5200 Go on the laptop is not. So you're looking to get yourself a good accident drivers Windows. Another downside there. Anyway, after days compile under BSD and install Windows XP everything is ready. You have all the features you might want to work on the S-Video Out after then (which happens to be a very important factor in figuring out your laptop), and you go to work. After working for a while you notice that surely makes the laptop a huge tomb of noise, a lot more than the average desktop. This would not be a downside, if he would stay nice and cool. But unfortunately. It's like you're on a hot plate on your legs. Come through your pants around nailing the big fiery red spots on your legs working after half an hour. So that makes two new flaws. way you can have long or short talk about this laptop. The performance is good, the specification makes it true, but it feels cheap when you pick it up with one hand the plastic starts to crack. He is tough, but if you go a little pushed him battery less than 2 hours. Everything is working properly, but it's really really not delicious Centrino HP. My final advice: For people who are considering to buy a laptop from this series at, on saving, and buy a nice Centrino a serious brand. I need my laptop, really hard so I did not even have time to repair. My S-Video I just can not miss him so long. I also have additional warranty and everything in it with my laptop, something in me says that I'm going to need it. If I ever have the choice, I really save more briskly. The thing is really to whine.
