NeillyB Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I'd never pay that price for that laptop considering the specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 At £650, its a rip, but at the £550 its ok. Ive got a Packard bell, cost me £475 i think, and has twice the RAM, and a faster processor, but a slightly smaller HDD- other wise exactly the same. Is very good.

nmt_oli Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Depends if you want portability or power, There are laptops with desktop specs, but there huge, heavy, and only go for about 30 mins on thier battery. My mates got one with 17" screen, P4 3 ghz, 1gb ram, 100gb HDD and so on, but it was over a grand, and its heavy- more a portbale desktop pc than a laptop. Mine i an AMD 3200+ 512mb Ram, 15", 40gb HDD screen and goes for 45 mins - 2 hours on a batery depending what im doing. I think this is roughly good spec, it certianly fine for what i need.

Koxx_TryAll Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 The sepc of the laptop as it is isnt very good. But would be pretty cool upgraded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 The sepc of the laptop as it is isnt very good. But would be pretty cool upgraded! Do you know anything about computers? What would be the point in spending £650, or whatever it is, to upgrade it immediately. And laptops are harder to upgrade than computers especially seeing as Dave knows very little about them.

But if he wanted better anytime then he could get it upgraded! Anyway Dave. Have you tried ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Upgrading laptops is almost impossible... not to mention stupidly expensive :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 my mate had that acer at the end of term, ready for uni, and it was pretty decent, played games on it and stuff in the common room. unfortunatly the battery life was very short, like 1.5 hours i think. not a problem if you use it mostly plugged in at home/uni room though.
