 beware vista January 4, 2008

great value laptop, however bewarned about microsoft vista. my initial attempt to connect to my existing wireless modem failed. attempted to upgrade the modem software but this completely destroyed the modem, so had to buy a 'vista compatable' one. also office 2002 does not work correctly and my existing all in one printer, scanner,copier will only now print. vista also reduces the hard drive to around 40GB. the moral of this story is be prepared to upgrade your existing software and hardware.
 Very good value December 29, 2007

Please ignore the other review regarding the processor - this is exactly the same as the one used by Dell, Toshiba and others in their entry dual cores except - for the same spec of memory, 2Gb the Acer is typically cheaper by about 50 - 80 on Amazon. Try finding another dual core with 2Gb memory anywhere for under 400. I bought this laptop for my daughter and she is very fussy about speed - no complaints so far. I have built my own PCs in the past so am not a technophobe. This laptop streams videos from You Tube and runs all the Microsoft office applications easily and is also very quiet - much more so than my work Thinkpad. Ignore the cheap celerons with 1Gb of memory for similar prices - you need a dual core with 2Gb of RAM to run multiple apps (office, MSN, You Tube etc) plus of course the memory hungry Vista Home Premium.
Check the processor November 16, 2007

Ordered and delivered but not yet used it.
Just a warning that the processor in this model (actually 5720Z) is an old T2310 dual core 1.46 GHz, not one of the core 2 duo models which are shown on the Acer website for the 5720.
Probably still a good laptop, but Amazon does not make it clear what the processor is on its website.
