Pros: Above average battery life. Plenty of USB 2 ports and even has a firewire port. Keypad/Touchpad easy to use. Excellent wireless. Digital video out and Gigabyte Lan are also nice features.

Cons: Speaker volume is too low even when set to max. CD/DVD burner is slow when burning and skips when you pause/play a dvd movie.

Overall Review: Overall this laptop is great, plus its loaded with alot more features than other laptops in the same price range. This Acer laptop runs great and the screen has no dead pixels.

Pros: Mouse tracking is great, love the on-the-fly sensitivity button. Look and feel of the mouse is also nice.

Cons: The left click switch starts to slowly fade. Now, dragging and dropping becomes a challenge. Mouse will randomly release your click even if you are firmly pressing the button and sometimes will even register as a double-click. Clearly a quality problem with Logitech switches they are using. This is 2nd G500 mouse and I'm really just tired of sending in for replacement. There is clearly a quality issue here.

Overall Review: Besides this one major flaw, this mouse would be perfect.

Pros: This laptop case fits my Acer 4654 (15in screen) perfectly. There is also plenty of pockets and slots for storage.

Cons: Cell phone baggie is kinda useless and the shoulder strap is a little hard to adjust.
