Good Simple Basic Laptop at a Reasonable Price!!

WHAT'S THE 411 ON THIS PRODUCT? — I bought this computer to replace an aging Panasonic Toughbook laptop which is heavy and too much to carry on business trips. Also, it wouldn't accept most of today's accessories like the wireless card! — Even though the thing worked well, it was… read full review »

The Acer Aspire is my first laptop. I've had it for two months now with no technical problems. The glare on the screen is really bad, however. I can't use it in any well lighted place because I can only see my own reflection on the screen. I don't know if this is a… read full review »

I've only had this computer one week so still learning the ins and outs. I love the fact that it has a 17" screen. Again, I bought a reconditioned machine. There have been so many times that I've purchased an electronic item right off the shelf only to have it not work or work a short time later something go haywire so I have decided to try some reconditioned products. I feel I got a lot of bang for my buck since I got it for around $550. Mine came with VISTA which I'm learning as I go along. I'm not certain if the volume is loud enough yet since I have not had it but about one… read full review »

I love this computer. I love being able to make my own dvds and record my daughter's voice. It also loads our pictures well. It's wireless so we love that we can have DSL and work from our computer anywhere in the house. It also doubles very well as a second t.v and watch dvds on it. The only things I don't like about it is windows vista...just not a big fan of vista. But, the price was right when we purchased it and have not regretted making our… read full review »

I was extrememly surprised by the Acer Aspire 3000 laptop I purchased. Initially I was kinda let down however. After purchasing at Circuit City for $700 with a $150 rebate, I had the first computer for a week before icons started disappearing and it wouldn't boot properly. I tried to resolve this issue by running the restore disk. but it didn't want to accept it...so...after another week, I took the unit back to the store for a refund. After telling them that I hadn't registered the unit yet, they decided to just replace it with a new one and told me that the… read full review »

This computer is a great start for any college student. It is reasonably priced and has all the basic features for general computer use. It comes ready to go. The customer service from ACER is great. I had monitor issues with my computer when I originally bought it and they replaced it immediately. The customer service is friendly and efficient. The computer is the perfect size for a dorm room desk, and convenient to travel with. The USB ports are in great locations, and it comes with a built in CD drive and burner. The power cable is a great length, and the wireless reception is great. The… read full review »

I bought an Acer Aspire 3000 on the recommendation of the sales manager at Staples, and have been grateful to him every day since. This is a workhorse of a laptop, has a nice feel both in use and when transporting, and does everything I ask it to do. Acer is actually one of the top five manufacturers in the world, and definitely live up to their reputation. Frankly, I also have a Sony Vaio which cost a great deal more, and honestly prefer the Acer all the way. I've had it almost 18 months with no problem at all, and the Vaio is already in for service, despite the fact that the trial offers… read full review »

I was unsure about buying an Acer because it wasn't one of the "top" brands but my dad who does computer networking told me to go for it. He said it was a good deal. I've had it for two months and not a single problem. It hasn't slowed down as I use it and put more stuff on the hard drive. I've been real happy with Windows Vista. I think it is easy to use. I love how light weight this computer is compared to my old Dell. … read full review »

This computer was purchased for my brother in law and he has had great success with it. We bought it for him for christmas and he is going to be using it for school. The only thing we would change about this computer is the fact that it did not come equipped with a certain video card that can be used for some video games which he was dissappointed about. Other than that, he loves his new… read full review »

I had reservations, but we bought this thing used - and it's one of our favorite toys. I've not had one problem and was able to sign up for extended warranties and the whole nine yards. — I'll buy another in a heartbeat. We only paid $300 for it, and it's saved us time and money. Crazy to spend too much on a computer when you can find them for dirt cheap. — … read full review »

My Acer has been a good computer so far. It came with Windows Vista Basic but has what is necessary to upgrade to Vista premium. The only problem was the memory was a little low so we had to upgrade it right away. The screen is a good size and it isn't a bad computer to transport. The screen does seem to scratch easy but not… read full review »
