Does what is says on the tin
For a relatively low spec machine it does the job. I bought it for my Mum who's in here 70s and never had a computer before. With family around the globe, this laptop does enough for her to be able to keep in touch. It has enough speed and memory for the photos she's now getting that she is a happy little bunny. 3 x 320 is quite adequate for basic functions of mail, skype, faceache etc, as well having storage to suit a relatively small budget

Review 1 : just brilliant
I had a look round before deciding to purchase the Acer Aspire 5551. I've had it for a week now and i'm not dissapointed with this laptop, infact i'm very happy with it. In particular the screen. I bought it to view movies and the picture quality on this LED backlet screen is just wonderful with very deep colours and no lag.
Windows 7 is easier to navigate than it's grumpy predecessor and the graphics for games are vibrant. I'm a real fan of sid meier's civ and it plays it, stores it and loads it quickly and effortlessly.
The battery is OK, lasts about 3 hours plus. I tend to use my laptop at home so no big deal for me but would not of purchased this laptop if i needed to travel with it. Alot of laptops on the market with 6 hours plus battery life.
Another great feature is the HDMI connection. This enables you to plug your laptop directly into an HDMI enabled TV. It basically makes your TV into a huge computer screen, perfect for watching movies,...
Review 2 : quick to load: poor touch pad design
I wanted a simple to use home computer for emails and internet access. I bought the product because it was recommended by other purchasers. Amazon can usually be relied on to offer good products at competitive prices.
I had read that the touch pad has a life of its own and is over sensitive. This is true, though most of the time it's manageable. More problematic are the click left and right buttons. These make a clunking sound and do not operate smoothly. Very plastic feel to them.
It boots up quickly and I'm finding my way around gradually.
My previous Dell Inspiron was far better finished and had a definite (silent) set of buttons and I think it was a better made machine overall.
Satisfied but only just.
