This is a nice little computer I use`to store and play all my music. The 300G hard drive allows plenty of space to store pictures and music. I bought this as an alternative to a lot of the MP3 players and other audio devices currently on the market. If you compare the price to some of the high end MP3s/Ipods I think this brings a lot more functionality for the money. For example, I can manage several playlists from different music providers into one portable laptop. This allows me to utilize Apple, Sattelite (XM/Surrius) and on-line radio stations (Slacker/FRhapsody)as well as my music portfolio with one device. I like the energy saving features where the computer powers down when not in use. Windows 7 is fast and easy to use. On the down side, it took several hours to set up the laptop and ACER support was not very helpful. The proxy settings were incorrect and as a result I could not install anti virus software. ACER did not take responsibility for the issue and referred me to the software provider. Also while connecting to my wireless network my passsord was not recognized.... Took several hours to resolve. I think ACER should test their products more completely prior to offering for sale. Also, streaming music between computers seems slow..... I checked network spead and noticed no matter what I do this computer does not go faster than 54Mbps in wireless network mode. Although advertised as wireless N this computer performs as a wireless G network. WATCH OUT! I called Acer and they told me as long as I get a wireless signal this is not their issue. After several more hours working with my ISP I determined there is an issue with the ACER network card. In short this computer operates at Wireless G speeds. This is running an Atheros AR5B93 network card. Acer `finally admitted the issue and I have an open ticket with them to resolve. Also, I agree with other reviews about the poor quality in keyboarde. But again for the money this is a good machine and because of the size and prtability a nice alternative to expensive MP3 or other portable music players...... Would appreciate better customer support from ACER. A rating of 2 because of poor customer support, slow network speed, and keyboard issues.

I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for something fairly basic. I my main use for this computer is for the internet and organizing my photos, and for those purposes, it works great. Watching videos and dvd's is also great, the Dolby Home Theater sound is wonderful. <br /> <br />My only complaints would be that the touch pad is very sensitive and is easy to hiT while typing and the top of the laptop easily shows fingerprints- definitely not affecting the function at all, but a bit of an annoyance at times.

It is faster than my old laptop that died on me. I am on a learning curve with The new Windows 7. So far great. Too early to really give much information about the functioning of a computer.

This laptop is a good start for her. She loves its built-in webcam and mike. A happy face has no price!
