I got this the other day for £429. Any good for the money?

    You bought this and then ask "Any good for the money"

    You should really have asked the question before you paid £429.

    I would be happy with that for the price. Both my wife & I both have Acer laptops and are happy with them. I also have a Dell laptop for work, but prefer my Acer

    You having buyers remorse?:o

    You probably could have got a little more for your money but don't worry about the Acer brand, I've had two Acer laptops and found them both reliable and rugged (until I dropped them!)

    Impulse buying I think. I do think its well good and got it from tesco. My PC was doing my nut in so thought I would change to a laptop since I had one a few years ago before I got my PC (the days with 512MB RAM) To slow then, but now the laptops seem to be alot faster than some PC's

    Cheers for the advice. I thinks I need to keep it anyway as the 28 day return will be excluded on this I think.
