Acer Aspire 5542-303G50Mn Laptop PC Athlon II X2 (M300) Big Discount
Product Description
Wouldn't recommend
I have had this laptop since last January and all it has done is give me problems. I was told that Acer are reliable but I will never buy from them again. It has become very slow as I am an art student and have been trying to use it for Photoshop etc. The keys are always falling of, it's heavy to carry around. Within a month of buying it the disk drive stopped working and I had to send it back. It often has problems booting up and I am worried any day I will lose all my work (so I back it up). For the money that it cost me I expected to be able to use functions like Iplayer but it is very slow with video despite me having a good internet connection. I don't misuse my laptop, there is no reason for the keys to break. For this money get a Toshiba or spend a little more and get a Mac, this laptop doesn't seem made to last. (I am typing with broken keys now but they are the little rubbery stumps underneath the keys, VERY annoying).

Review 1 : Acer Notebooks
I have always bought Acer products because they represent good value for money. (I've got two Acer Desktops and two Notebooks and my wife bought an Acer Notebook too).I was not disappointed with this product. At 3Gb Plenty of RAM for the ordinary user good processor speed and huge hard disc at 500Gb. HDMI input is a real boon for reviewing HD camcorder footage in the native format and movies play without jerkiness in widescreen format. I particularly like Windows 7 which is preinstalled and it seems after several attempts Microsoft have finally got it right. As ever the Acer management system is a gem. Very good buy.
Review 2 : A downward spiral
I bought the Acer Aspire 5542 last year as I was starting a postgraduate course and I needed a reliable laptop for word-processing. Our relationship started well, things were running smoothly and I was enjoying using my new laptop. Things took a turn for the worse a few months ago when out of nowhere the laptop started to restart and shut down of its own accord, it was also prone to freezing on a regular basis. Now every time I write a long piece of text I'm constantly saving the document (more than normal) for fear that the laptop decides it has had enough and will go for a little nap without warning. As soon as I can afford to buy a new laptop I shall invest in a Mac. This was my first Acer product, and I was led to believe it was a reliable brand however; I'm starting to have some serious doubts about that. Acer has well and truly lost my future custom (and that of my friends and family).
