I purchased this laptop for my then 7 year old daughter as a Christmas present. Really it was for me, so she would get off my computer! Ha!!

Anyway, it was fine the first year. On the second year, the Cd Rom got jammmed and it still stuck to this day. We have tried everything to get it to open. I'm not spendin gthe money to have it fixed b/c the cost of repair would be as much as the laptop.

After that incident, the computer just quit. We thought it was the Lcd screen went out, biut it took a few weeks before it "decided" to come on. For the money we spent, it's a decent computer. I personally wouldn't want it for my only computer, but as a secondary computer it is adequte.

Daquan13 says "Great Laptop PC, But the Hard Drive Crashed!! it's Fixed Now!!" about Acer Aspire 4720Z

I bought the Acer Aspire 4720Z Laptop Computer back in February last year. It was great while it working. I could surf the Web, send and receive e-mails

Everything seemed to be going fine until earlier this year when suddenly the screen went blank and the unit wouldn't download! Tried several times and nothing could be done. So I had no other choices but to have the thing looked at and repaired.

Found out that the hard drive had crashed and had to be replaced! The keyboard was also replaced since it began acting up last spring! Got the unit back, but I had to get and use a set of 3 recovery disks to restore the unit back to operating staus to the time when I first got it last winter.

The unit works fine now, but since I have a nwer one, this one is used as a secondary one. I still like it though, and it's still under warranty as well! But it works fine now like it's brand new!!

My husband bought me the Acer Aspire 4720Z for Christmas this last year. I must say that this laptop was the best present he could have bought me. This laptop is not very expensive (between $400 and $500) and it is an excellent laptop! It is lightweight and very easy to take with you. The screen is 14.1" which is a great size for a laptop. I love the fact that there is a third button located in the middle on the mouse pad that you can either click up or down to go to the previous or next page on your document. The speakers are not the greatest but as long as you are not in a noisy area they are useable. I do carry headphones with my laptop so if I am in a noisy area I can still hear my laptop. Overall I would recommend this laptop. It is great quality for the price.

I have owned my Acer Aspire 4720 for 7 months now and have experienced only one major flaw. At times when I plug in the power cord to keep the battery charged, the computer doesn't always recognize that it is plugged in. In other words, the battery light which should turn green when the cord is plugged in, remains orange for a period of time. Sometimes it takes as long as ten minutes to recognize that the cord is plugged in.

The computer comes with Vista home premium which I have had no difficulties with. The model I have of the aspire, comes with an accelerated graphics chipset instead of a graphics card. It works well with most programs, but does use a lot of RAM.

Although it came with 2 Gigs of RAM it can be upgraded to 4 Gigs. It also has a double hard drive instead of a single one, which does make storing and accessing data confusing at times. It has a total hard drive capacity of 120 Gigs which gets used up fast. It also did not come with any software or installation...

Excellent computer for the price. I am a graduate student and this computer fit into my budget. I use this computer everyday and I have never regretted getting it. It doesn't have all the fancy extras that some computers have, but for the average user, most of those aren't necessary anyway. It is light enough that I take it with me everywhere I go. The battery life isn't the best but considering the price, it isn't much of a sacrifice....

I love my laptop! It was a great price. It's fast and easy to use. The Signal Up wireless antenna is great. I will never go back to a desktop computer again. I can't say enough great things about it. The only negative is the battery only last about 2 hours on the power setting I use but you can customize your own power setting for longer battery life....

I purchased this laptop computer a few months ago for a long trip I was taking. Ended up using it all the time because it is fast, eary to use and light weight (can go anywhere). The battery life is outstanding (about 3 hours under normal use). The software was pre loaded and works great. Also the WiFi has worked excellent every where I traveled. The value was outstanding since I paid under $500, I am very satisfied with this computer....
