When my dad told me that he got me an Acer laptop, I was really scared because I did some research on the brand and I found that a lot of people have issues with it. When I got it, I was really happy with the beautiful keyboard and how easy it was to use. The Acer Aspire 5517 is a great buy. I only had it for about a month but that is the amount of time that people say that they send it right back because of problems. I really enjoy using it. I'm young, so I don't know a lot about spec's but this laptop is pretty good! The screen is super hi-res and Vista is standard. Also, you get a free Windows...
