Pros: At the time of buy, very good price for the specs provided. Was shopping around for quite a while, and Acer consistently seemed to come up the cheapest for the best hardware. No trouble setting it up, and 3 months strong no problems. Battery life seems pretty solid, though a mixture of high settings/operations (CD Drives take the most in my experience) Will drain it faster.
Believe it or not, This laptop has an actual subwoofer on the bottom of it. I didn't realize this till I bought it and was reading the manual. My mouth literally dropped. Sound distorts like all laptops do at high volumes, but can reach higher levels than most (Compared to the 20 other laptops in the geek corner of my college) and has a nice little thump for electronic music.

Cons: Few personal things that bugged me slightly. The screen seems to stay staticy, so it attracts dust quite a bit, so I often find myself wiping it off. The audio ports would be more pleasant off to the side instead of right in front (Not a big deal). It does come with quite a bit of software installed, but didn't bother me too much, I just uninstalled it as I got used to the feel of Vista and the laptop.

Other Thoughts: Originally was going to buy a standard nothing special 15.4" Laptop, but got a deal to make this one as cheap as the other one I was looking at. Same price, much better hardware so I ended up with the largest laptop in the Geek Corner at campus. It is larger, it is bulkier, and you may need a larger laptop case than most.
I do a myriad of strange things, Results:
The modem is Data/Fax, and not a voice, so is incapable of using as a phoneline.
I was an idiot, misread specs and thought it had 1 2GB stick. upgraded and ended up with 1 1GB and 1 2GB stick in my laptop. Solely my own foolishness.
The bottom of the case has no trick other then a few Obvious screws, and a LOT of pulling. Scared the daylights out of me. There does seem to be room for another harddrive in the laptop, though I'm scared of what that will put the weight up to.
I am thinking of making a dualboot XP/Vista later on to benchmark and compare.
If you have any other questions (I like odd stuff) My IM's are my nick

Pros: I purchased this laptop for business. I removed VISTA and replaced it with LINUX openSUSE 11.0. It was easy to install and I didn't have to search for drivers, everything worked great including the webcam, mic and wireless. I am also able to use all the desktop special effects that LINUX has to offer and now have the security of LINUX. I highly recommend this laptop and Newegg has been great.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: NONE

Pros: Just runs better on XP -- Vista just isn't worth in on an NB!

Cons: No drivers to be found on Acer for Video or WLAN!!!!!

Other Thoughts: Acer needs to update there WEB site with Drivers!!!!

Pros: Games like a champ ( Americas Army, COD4, BF1942,Crysis, etc..),
After you stick 4 gigs of ram in it, it's a speedster. I'm new to Vista and it's pretty much kept itself updated.
However, both of those other guys are right: If you wanna upgrade hard drives and you didn't call Acer within 90 days, you just lost your OS.

Cons: The keyboard glitch is reminiscent of windows 95. Ocassionally, it just sorta lags for just enough time to distract you and then the last 5 characters you typed will pop up. Maybe a different OS would stop it???
The battery is fine unless you use any program (including tetris) at all, then the time on it drops rapidly, and I think the burner was stolen out of Fred Flinstones PC.
For the money, I would buy it again and it's been 6 weeks for me now (note to self: call Acer for recovery disks).
That other guy is right too: When I upgraded the RAM, I was quite frightened I was gonna bust the cover. If ya do it, have patience.

Other Thoughts: The other guy was incorrect in saying that you can replace this video card. Also, it's just plain rude to put as much bloatware on a guys new laptop as Acer did. It took me a long time to get rid of it all.
If you can get the coupon and have 650 bucks, I really doubt you'll beat this deal.

Pros: The construction quality seems good, and it has decent specs in most regards. The large screen makes viewing movies enjoyable, and the full-sized keyboard is nice as well. The scroll button is well executed.

Cons: The size does make it a bit unweildy. It comes with a suite of programs from Acer that get in the way ore than anything, but these can obviously be disabled or removed. My only serious coplaint is the position of the trackpad. It's located well to the left, centered under the keyboard (not including the numpad.) This can be very cumbersome for right handers.

Other Thoughts: Because of its size, you'll probably use a mouse anyway.

Pros: Great Keyboard, nice weight, very expandable dual hard drivers, removable processor, removable graphics, up to 4GB of RAM, over 2 hours+ battery. XP drivers available at ACER website

Cons: * bluetooth button but NO BLUETOOTH
* touchpad could be better but usable

Other Thoughts: Don't hesitate to try an ACER. Solid machine.

Pros: ok i buaght the aspire 7520-5311 and here is what i got bad service

Cons: bad service sent in for blue screens and they sent it back withought a repair they are not reputible in there service department and are making a bad name for themselvesi plan on informing the texas attourney general about there practices and filling a suite

Other Thoughts: every one i talk too that has the same product has had the same issues and acer is no help

Pros: I got 2 of these laptops with a promotion $100 off savings. With the dedicated graphics, 5400rpm hard drive (yes it is), screen etc. you can't touch this in a Toshiba or HP, unless you want to spend $200 more. Vista performance of 4.3 for gaming! Like a desktop!

Cons: Wish it had 3gb memory. I upgraded each laptop with a 2gb stick to make 3gb. Only an extra $25 each from Newegg!

Other Thoughts: Don't hesistate to try an Acer. This is my first and it is much better than my HP. Solid machine.

Pros: Great monitor and card! The hard disk comes with two equal partions so dual booting is as easy as deleting number 2

Cons: When playing certain sounds the whole laptop seems to be resonant(?!) and the sound distorts but, this happens usualy during high volume. I am having problems with the backlights not turning on sometimes. The mouse pad is very buggy but, not too much of a problem

Other Thoughts: Make sure this has the ports you need!! I forgot that step and need to purchase a serial port and parellel ports. I know i wrote alot in the cons but, i will definetly recomend this to my friends that are hardcore gamers on a budget

Pros: Nice screen! Everything seems to be included. And at a great price too!

Cons: Barely fits my bag, but that's not the fault of the laptop! 3GB RAM would have been right on! 320GB HDD would have been better. Little too much bloatware. But hey, this is a real bargain for what it has.

Other Thoughts: I will convert to XP during the next week. I understand that the drivers are all on the Acer website. We'll see. If not, I will come back here and post it! The laptop will be used in my studio for recording and will have to endure some travel for other events in OK and Texas.

Oh yeah! NEWEGG Rocks!!!
