Acer Laptop Aspire AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N850 (2.2GHz) 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Radeon HD 4250 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit AS5552-6838

Pros: Fast, really quiet, nice finish, good enough graphics to play 1080p movies and decent games, battery life is decent, and a very good value for the price.

Cons: Bad mono speaker... but not that big of a deal for its use.

Overall Review: Bought this to replace a Toshiba laptop from 2004 with a Pentium 4. That old thing would get burning hot and make a ton of noise whenever you tried to do anything on it. This one... well I can't even hear it when its on lol. This is used as a primary computer for business use, and is on pretty much all the time. So far 8 months in and no problems to speak off, and its used pretty hard. Great laptop!

Pros: great value, light weight and cheap with very good performance for a non-gaming student/business person. One of my top 10 purchases of the decade.

Cons: 10 key takes a little getting used to because it is so unusual but also super handy!

Pros: Bright screen, pleasing external aesthetics

Cons: Track pad vertical scroll seems a bit off, but nothing really surprising for a machine of its class other than what's noted below.

Overall Review: I was going to give this 3 eggs because it's an average machine. Nothing outstanding, nothing really bad. It does what I bought it for. I knocked off an egg for Acer's customer support. One of the arrow keys came off of the keyboard the first day she had it. I cannot get it back on. Key back looks fine, so I email tech support. After 4 emails I finally get a useful answer. Buried in the boilerplate 'apologies' I'm instructed to send them the machine. All I want is someone to talk with about the key. Nope. Have to send the machine to them, and pay the shipping one way. Why? "The keyboard is not an end user replaceable part". So now my daughter, who is in school and needs the machine, has a new machine missing one key. Meanwhile another co. whose name is also 4 letters long didn't hesitate to send me a new LCD to replace an almost year old screen that failed. Guess what I'll buy next time.

Pros: I have loved this thing since day 1. Display is lovely, machine is light, battery life is great! This will play all the games I want it to play. TF2 runs great on med settings. Processor rips through everything I've thrown at it. The trackpad takes some getting used to but is great after you do. I use a mouse whenever possible but when I can't, it's not that big of a deal. Boots out of a long hibernation in less than 30 seconds. Plays HD videos with ease. I've installed some more CPU intense programs like Photoshop and Reason and have yet to encounter a hiccup.

Cons: The speakers are weak but honestly better than what I was expecting. It does fine for sharing youtube vids and watching movie trailers and junk with friends. I don't like the big spaces under the keyboard. I get a lot of dust and hair under there.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a machine that will multi-task, do some light gaming, watch movies (I would recommend headphones), or simply just browse, this is a perfect machine.

Pros: Nice graphics, had everything you need and for a triple core with 4 MB, you can't beat the price. I have yet to find one that equals this one for the price. I own an Acer netbook so I hope this one also gives the same great service. No problems since it came out the box. I also run it without the battery, so I don't wear it out and will have it when I really need it.

Cons: Came with 64-bit software, so a few of my older programs which I hate to do without wont load, not matter what I do. I was under the impression that any software that would run on 32 should run fine on 64. Well, that is NOT true, there are some that simply will not run - bummer.

Pros: Triple Core is fast. Display is wonderful. Love the mesh black finish (it looks grey in the pic, but it is black) - no finger prints. Number pad. 4250 Radeon provides plenty of graphics muscle. Excellent Price.

Cons: zero

Overall Review: I had been searching for a nice looking phenom II triple core for a few months and then this came up on sale and i bought it - I love it. It's a great computer that you won't leave you dissapointed.

Pros: This laptop is great, It got sold-out fast on cybermonday, I'm glad i got my hand on it. Triple core, It does everything you throw at it. it is not designed for gaming , But i was surprised that it installed sc2 , playable on low graphics. I like its exterior design. got it for $450, email, internet, word, etc.... works great. It battery is very good, better than many other laptops out there.

Cons: No problem so far, only speakers are weak. but i expected that.

Overall Review: even at its retail price now it is still a good deal to get. I was going to get a Toshiba for $600 quad core , But I'm so glad i got this instead. Thank you NewEgg Cybermonday :)

Pros: Got this as a cyber-Monday deal. Definitely worth the low low price and free shipping. Great for what I need it for: surfing the web, e-mail, and word processing. Also like the full-sized keyboard and separate number pad.

Cons: Sometimes when coming out of hibernating mode, it locks up for about 10 seconds, but then it works just fine. Also the touch pad seems overly sensitive and I keep on accidentally setting it off. I'm sure there's some way to adjust that, but I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Overall Review: Love the exterior design/texture. It's not exactly small or lightweight, so it's not so good if you're looking for something easily portable. Not a gamer at all, so I can't speak to that. But for the cyber Monday price, it was a great find.
