Hi there,

I have ben looking for a laptop to buy for home use. Mainly want something with good battery life and quick processor.

I have found this ACER laptop, which is the cheapest 4GB laptop I have seen @ £379

Is it worth it? It is quite new so no reviews that I can see on the net...

My budget cannot strectch any further as I refuse to pay £400 for one.

Thanking you in advance for your advice!

I think you should look here instead

You get 2 years warranty and John Lewis have always given me great service.

I'd rather have a Tosh than an Acer. In fact im typing on one bought from John Lewis about two years ago.

Mind you, the Acer does have a good spec but im not sure on their reliability/service. You might be able to get the same one/similiar via john lewis and get the 2 yr warranty

Is it worth it?

This has a Celeron processor. A Pentium has a maths co-processor built in. If you do graphics or rendering it makes a serious difference. If not then should be OK.

This laptop as listed in another thread is better value imo. Or if you really like Acers, the one below from simply acer is pretty good.
