Ordered Compaq 615 notebook, now out of stock and..

The company are offering to send an Acer Extensa 5625z as an alternative.

I'm not at all technically minded and I'm not sure if I should accept this or not. (The order is through buymobilephones.net and is a 'free' gift along side a mobile phone contract).

The Lady from buymobilephones.net says that the 2 laptops are the same spec - But I can't find any info on the Acer Extensa 5625z on the web.

I just wondered if anyone might know if the Acer is a good enought replacement for the Compaq?

Oh I hate to bump my own thread but I'm really at a bit of a quandary about wether to accept the Acer as a replacement.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thank you!

The Acer Extensa on their site is a rather old model with a slow single core Celeron - this type of laptop was being knocked out for around £280 about 6 months ago, though not necessarily this model. The Compaq seems to have a much better dual core Athlon processor which can be found for £339 but tends to be a bit more.

So it doesn't look like they are the same specs at all. The Lenovo G550 is closer. I wouldn't accept the Acer as a replacement.

thank you Grahawk!

Right ok, So'll I'll get back to Buymobilephones and see if they can come up with anything better.

It might sound bonkers, but I'm starting to wonder if the Acer Extensa 5625z even exisits. There's hardly any mention of it when I google it, and I can't find it for sale anywhere! Though there is an Acer Extensa 5635z.
