Tip:- Look into doubling the RAM with your refunds, if you can.
Makes a lot of difference, I am told.[/QUOTE]

That is what my OH is going to do. He said it is very easy to do/get at on this model as well.

Thanks for that.

Would this not invalidate the guarantee?

No, its a usable accessible part with a little trap door on the underside to allow the ram module to be changed.

£30 refunded, result

Had to insist in speaking to the manager after the customer service guy acted like this was the first he'd heard of it. Manager offered £15, I said it would cost between £20 and £30 to add 2 GiB of RAM and he went up to £20. This is probably what I'd pay for 2 GiB so it seemed a fair amount for me.

It shouldn't do if you get right sort.

I did check crucial before buying some hopefully it is right ram it does say acer aspire


Also I removed all the crap games, norton, mcafee and put commodo av on but avast will do instead thats free

The one in the link is definitely right, though any 200pin DDR2 ram module will work fine.

Script to get a £30 Refund!

1. Phone 01992 63222, ask to be transferred to Tesco Direct
2. Select option 4.
3. Give order number
4. something like "I have bought an acer aspire netbook, used it for a few days, and have bought and installed additional software. I thought it was running a bit slow, so checked the processor type through control panel, and have found that it has a slower processor than advertised on your website". Allow operator to reply, in my case, an apology and the magic words- *goodwill gesture payment*
5. "well, I've been speaking with friends who bought the same netbook, and it turns out they received £30"

Et voila, £30 back on my card within 5 days. :j

In case you were wondering, the thing about buying software was to show that you have used it, AND invested money it, and therefore won't be returning it. Worked for me anyway. Thanks to everyone who posted here and helped us all save a few ££!:D
