Acer Aspire 5100 Review
Review of Acer Aspire 5100 by lauriehomebusiness

Advantages: portability, keyboard are easy to use, sound, picture
Disadvantages: It is kind of big though but worth it.

The sound is pretty good and the graphics on the monitor is great as well. Not only is it portable but it's under $700 that my hon got it for me for my birthday last year. It comes with a dvd burner with lightscribe which I never did use it yet for burning purposes. Portable, stylish and the keyboard are so easy to type the words with depending on the sizes of everybody's fingers. Can store pictures, videos, movies for your viewing pleasure. This ...

Review of Acer Aspire L5100 - Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 GHz - 19" TFT by RoryGriffiths taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Everything you could want, particularly amazing multimedia handling.
Disadvantages Gamers beware

...The Acer Aspire L5100 is an economical, yet complete package for the everyday home computer user. Behind it's small, ultra-compact chassis lies a powerhouse in entertainment; the latest spec for modern home theatre, AMD LIVE!, boasts exceptional and smooth management of your multimedia, the main atrraction for me of this Acer product. It exudes elegance and chicness in an understated manner; it measures 25cm by 20cm by 6cm and looks fantastic. It therefore feels and looks right at home in a minimalist, stress-free environment. Due to its cheap price tag of roughly ~£330 one would expect corners to have been cut, but this is not the case. It has an excellent dual-core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ / 2.2 GHz processor, an adequate 500GB harddrive to store all your music, films, and videos on, 2GB of RAM, and all the other gimmicks one...

Acer 5101AWLMI Review
Review of Acer Aspire 5101AWLMi - Turion 64 mobile technology MK-36 2 GHz - 15.4" TFT by AndyGray2k7 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Excellent Value and Great Features
Disadvantages None Really - But Batteries not brilliant

...::::INTRODUCTION:::: The Acer Aspire 5100 series notebook computer comes with a built in webcam, Microphone, Bluetooth, WiFi and loads more, with i will try and explain in-depth on this review. The Model i have from the series is the 5101AWLMI. The Laptop was excellent value for money, costing just £365 from EmpireDirect.co.uk (using discount codes, price includes delivery), and i must also praise Empire Direct for there excellent service and promt delivery, i ordered Saturday Afternoon and it arrived Tuesday morning, just like they had told me it would! ::::WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM:::: Windows Vista Home Premium comes built in with this laptop. To me it does look like MacOSX, but its got that 'Windows Effect' ;-) Like it's cheaper, compatible with more stuff and is more widely used. I like the Aero interface, just a click away...

Would you risk it?
Review of Acer Aspire 5100 by 05cwestr taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Good screen size
Disadvantages poor battery power

...I have found this laptop to be very useful for school work as it is very fast and has a large memory. Despite this the battery power is very unpredictable and is not what it says on the box. my also recent problem is the dvd drive failing to work. I have tried to find a solution online and have found many other people with same problem. further more the laptop despite its problems has a large screen and is very easy to navigate. The laptop is also for people who need to do work or people that just want to play game on it. the laptop appearance is not stylish but it does not look rubbish. the back of my laptop has scratch marks which have appeared very easily. so if you were to buy the acer i would advice a cover and a good laptop bag. I would advise you to buy because it is not a bad price at 400 plus and is also a laptop... Read review

Review of Acer Aspire M5100-EF9500A - Phenom X4 9500 2.2 GHz by  skulldragon3200

Advantages: Decent components, good prices
Disadvantages: Poorly but together, over heating problem, sometimes, support is not too great

...Acer, I company that in the beginning of my computing days, there served out really great computers, but now a days, I have tested some out that my friends have gotten and I have got to say that they are not really the best built machines. Sure, they have great components, but one of the big things, is that the way they are built, the cooling is not very good and the system overheats a lot, so you can either, A) get a better fan, or more fans, or B) Not buy an Acer. I would not recommend getting Acer computers, as I had one a while back and the support was too good for it, as the warrantees are very limited and once you open the computer, the warrantee is void and nothing can be done unless you do it yourself after wards. I would select a different company to buy from.... Read review
