    Acer have good reputation for high spec machines that are affordable.
  • No experience with laptops but cannot fault my acer desktop for speed and spec. Would deff recommend every time.

    The one thing i will say , This isn't just Acer tho , Is that they promote these laptops with "fingerprint reader" for " extra security" don't buy a laptop because you think this is advantage. They can be more hassel then there worh. if its got it then fair do's but dont think of it as a extra feature or advantage

    But apart from that the one i got, Its just a good bit of kit esp with its 18.4 HD screen hehe

    I'd go with that, absolute pain in the rectum those finger print readers.

    Yer. well i could not connect to my computer via Remote Desktop on this laptop (with FPR) but the without FPR would. I found out that when Remote Desktop Connection asks for the password of the computer it freezes because the FPR has priorty of the Password control even if you type the password in. So i had to set it up somewhere else to directly connect.
