Disappointed
2009-09-25Laptop died within 4 weeks of being bought VERY disappointed.Unable to get warranty.Stay away you have been warned.

Great laptop - one important tip
2009-09-08This is a nice little laptop with plenty of spunk. Here is my biggest tip - if you plan to burn video DVDs, then please use Maxell DVDs. I tried Verbatim and TDK, neither worked. But Maxell seems to work. I suffered about a month of pain trying to get a cousin's wedding from the DV camera to a DVD - I had no idea that the problem was with the brand of DVD I was trying to burn!
As several others mentioned, I agree that the Acer software which came factory installed slows the machine down and doesn't seem to add much value.
Otherwise - highly recommended.

Acer AS4530-6823 14.1 in blue laptop
2009-09-07Love it. Everything they promise and more...the "and more", I haven't quite gotten to yet, not so tech savy.
But all in all it is easy to navigate, boots up quickly and runs quietly. Doesn't heat up as much as my prior computer either.

neat lil laptop for the price
2009-09-07had the laptop for 6 months now. Its beautiful. simple and does what i need it to do..
bad: it contains vista.
When i first got the laptop, it was shint. and blue.. and pretty.. :)
then i turn it on.. took over 15-20 mins to start up..
vista is a real chore. lots of 3rd party programs built in, that slows the machine down terribly!
but after working on it for a day or two.. removing everything and putting all that i need.. it works great.
even installed ubuntu as a 2nd OS on it.. and it works great! no compatibility issues with it as some others may have complained about on other forums.
so if u havent got lots to spend.. and u need something on the go that reliable. this ACER can do... :)
oh.. and the battery lasts about 2hrs.. with average use.. running videos.. much less.. :)

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling
Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between?
This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck.
Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature.
The Core 2 Duo Processor
Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
