Acer Aspire 15.6" Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit LX.PDR0X.051

Pros: 1) Screen: Clear, bright, and easy on the eyes.
2) Construction: Not a rock but not cheap. (Fits the price)
3) Keys: Actually an amazingly nice keyboard to type on.
4) Sound: Quality, still coming from small speakers though.
5) Graphics: Rocks WoW's world. Mileage may vary.
6) Processor: Never seems to bog down.
7) Memory: Vista is still snappy.

Cons: 1) Touch Pad: Needs to be 1/2 inch to the right.
2) USB: No rear. Right side is too far forward.
3) Bluetooth: None :(
4) Finger Prints?: No. Seriously get over them.

Overall Review: You have to make very few compromises for the price on this Laptop. You get a stellar platform and are probably saving nearly $500.00 from other similar models.

Finger Prints: Yeah they are there. Just get over it or buy a key cover.

The keyboard is really very nice to type on.

If you have weak wireless signal one of your antenna has probably just disconnected. Flip the laptop over and open up the smaller access panel. Plug it back in.

Do yourself a favor and just completely reinstall Vista. Then go to acer's website and download the software components you want.

If you get warnings that you are trying to install 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit system just make sure you have the correct version of windows selected on the downloads page.

Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase. Price and features vs Downsides definitely a 5-star product.

Pros: Fast, pretty, a lot of functionality. Came with a bad disc drive that is a major headace to replace, but other than that a good deal for the money.

Cons: Arrived with a dead disc drive, acer support wants me to send the whole computer and pay for shipping to them, repairs can take up to 10 days, then they pay for shipping back. I just got this thing so in order to get it 100% I have to wait another 7-10 days that sucks. They also were unable to provide me with a recovery disc the reason being they are redoing them?? Doesn't make sense to me. New egg did help either, they also require you to send the whole laptop in.. Even Dell and HP sent me replacement parts in the past without requiring the whole laptop to be sent.

Overall Review: If an essential part such as a HD was bad on arrival I'd say it's not worth the purchase, a disc drive isn't bad since I hardly use it. So good luck.
