"I like Acer notebook coz it's the cheapest notebook if I compare with another type of notebook. I've use this notebook for 1 year and really love this notebook. It's has a simple design and really easy to use. It's already installed with Windows Vista Bussiness Edition when I bought it. It's already included with bluetooth and infrared interface. So, when can do transfer data with a phone with already included with bluetooth or infrared too. This notebook has a Bio Protect feature. So, you can protect your notebook with your finger print. You can even use this finger print to protect your notebook from the first when your notebook is turn on. And it's has DASP (Disc Anti Shock Protection) Feature. So, it can reduce the damage when your notebook got a shock"

"It is called TraveMate,i think this laptop does good in travel function.Trave is a funny thing,so our laptop should not bring us some trouble.First is its size,it has a 14.1" screen,even though it is bigger than 13" laptop,i think the weight can make it be more attractive in portable.Then is its power,if a laptop can not run a long time using its battery,this laptop will bring us so many trouble,this TravelMate4720 has a 9-cell battery,a 9-cell!so the time it can run up to we can know easily.The processor is Intel core 2 Duo T serie with 800Mhz data bus speed.In storage,it has a 160Gb hard drive and 4Gb max ram installed size.
overall the Acer is a brand that we can believe it!

"I bought this for my daughter several weeks ago. She loves it, and it really is an awesome machine. Very well thought out, no disappointments or surprises. Vista is a little bit of a learning curve, but actually nice in some ways, so she's keeping it. Even with 1 Gig of RAM, this machine runs Vista well. Check out the power management in Control Panel -- the default is a little conservative, with processor speed set to 80% when plugged in -- not sure why the default isn't set to 100% when running from AC power, so just change this setting right away. I dumped the pre-installed Norton Antivirus in favor of McAfee. I would rate this machine a ''5'' across the board, but I know that it's not as fast as gamers need for the newest games. However, my daughter is not a gamer. Probably more RAM would jack it up to a ''5'' in the performance category. From my experience in the mid-90s, I thought that Acer might still be an unreliable buy, but we couldn't be happier with this machine"
