Samsung Series 3 300V5A 15.6 inch Laptop (Intel Pentium B950 2.1GHz, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD, DVDSM-DL, LAN, WLAN, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) Review

he laptop arrived and immediately I love it. The screen is large, the webcam is good quality, it has a good battery life, doesn't get hot easily and runs very quietly. The laptop can handle games such as Sims 3 (although can get quite hot when playing), the speakers are good quality and the keypad is very easy to type with as-well as looking good. Disc-drive works well, and can play games and DVDs well. Only downside for me is that the touchpad is not sensitive enough, but this is a minor problem and the touchpad still works very well. I have also successfully connected the laptop to my TV and it worked brilliantly. I purchased the laptop on ebuyer.com for £299.99 however, so I do not know how the delivery service is on amazon. The laptop is exactly like the pictures and the description, too. Overall brilliant laptop and I'm VERY pleased with it. Highly recommended...........

Acer Aspire M3-581T 15.6-inch Ultrabook - Aluminium (Intel Core i3 2377M 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics) Review

First of all, I would like to mention a few things about the Amazon service that I received with this order. I placed an order on a Friday, and paid extra for next day guaranteed Saturday before 1pm delivery. I was hoping this would be true, but the courier didn't arrive until 2pm, which isn't such a big deal because it was a busier Christmas period, but never the less, I paid for guaranteed before 1pm. I emailed Amazon about this, and straight away they said they would refund my full delivery cost which they did immediately into my account that I paid with. I must say I'm impressed with the excellent customer service provided by Amazon here.

Once I actually got around to opening the package, it wasn't packaged up particularly well, just the original laptop box wrapped in a plastic bag.....so not much protection, but I went ahead and opened it up. First impression of the laptop was that it had a very nice matt finish on top, and although did feel a little cheap with the plastic underneath, it still looked and felt nice enough. It was a little thicker than I was hoping for and shouldn't really be called an Ultrabook, but it's still thinner than your standard laptop. The reason I went for the M3 was because of the dedicated Nvidia graphics (GT640M) so I could do some casual gaming, but I still wanted it to be a light(ish) and compact laptop. It's definitely not as light as I hoped it would be, as I tried to carry it around in my laptop bag for a day, and my shoulder started to hurt. But if you're not carrying it constantly for long periods,.............

Acer Aspire E1 15.6-inch Laptop - Black/Silver (Intel Core i3 3110M 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8 64-bit) Review

Its nice and smart, loads up fairly quickly, i already owned an acer aspire 5131 and after 6 yrs its still up nd running ( gone a bit slow, and battery doesnt hold) and despite my toddlers torturing it it never failed to deliver thts why i chose acer again, we've owned it fr 3 months now, no probs at all, its slim, lightweight,smart,theres nothing i cn fault , for gamers i dnt think itl be the one, its not as fast as they would like it to be, however i use it fr the internet, writing asignments, skype,and facebooking :) so i find it quite efficient and quick, the windows 8 is fresh and different, takes getting used to, but hey if it wrrent for innovation we would still be stuck with computers the size of rooms! You could still switch to desktop mode if windows 8 gets a bit much. One thing i noticed tht once you own this, you can personalise it COMPLETELY, its like your virtual world infront you all at once. One tile shows your emails, the other your ebay account, one is fr yahoo, fb, and the weather of ur city, your pictures all flip. I mean its amazing. All it needs is. Look and you r updated with almost everything, nd the pictures always shows some pic tht ive uploaded frm my previous old albums and it brings back all the good memories associatd with..........

Acer Aspire V3-771 17.3-inch Laptop - Black (Intel Core i5 3210M 2.5GHz, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8 64-bit) Review

i ordered this laptop from amazon and i haven't stopped using it yet, its very fast and has ample memory and ram but i still have trouble with windows 8 as its nothing like any previous version lol that's just me being dumb. My wife needed a new laptop and so did i so i ordered 2 and they arrived very very quickly within 2 days but that was because one of the days was Sunday so i guess it would have been quicker the only downfall i think is the camera could have been clearer but that's just my view, all in all excellent value especially for the price considering the specs of other computers in this price range.

i should also mention i have never had any problems with ACER'S unlike TOSHIBA and PACKARD BELL who both had major faults eg Toshiba hard drive died and the Packard bell battery died and my mates Packard bell hard drive failed too but the ACERS i bought five years ago are still working fine.......

Acer Aspire V5-571P 15.6-inch Laptop - Silver (Intel Core i3 2365M 1.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8 64-bit) Review

This is an excellent laptop by Acer.

We've had a 17" screen Toshiba Equium P200 since 2007, running Vista. We've mainly used it for the net, movies and Microsoft Office type tasks. It's started failing us in the last year, though, including not being able to handle HD movies, so it was time to upgrade. We wanted something which could do all the same tasks, but obviously better, while also being lighter, more compact and of a reasonable price (£600 max).

Having been out of the laptop buying scene for 5 years, we got started in PC World. I'd heard that Windows 8 was designed to work best with touchscreens, but I hadn't heard of a touchscreen laptop until we saw a couple in the store. However, there was only about three different types to look at and they were either too small, too expensive or both. To be honest, I was surprised, with the recent launch of Windows 8 and with the run-up to Christmas upon us, that manufacturers hadn't rushed out a greater range of touchscreen models. Why invest in something running a touch-orientated operating system if it doesn't have the features to take full advantage of it? In fact, I've read in a few places that Windows 8 is only an improvement over Windows 7 if you do have a touchscreen.

So we got on the net and the only machine out there right now with a 15.6" touchscreen, as well as all the other usual features you'd want for home use (i3 or i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD etc), and all at an affordable price, is this Acer. We didn't have any experience of Acer before and I'd always just thought they were a low-end budget brand, so we weren't sure initially whether it would be a wise buy. But we did some research, read other reviews and took the risk.

Well, we've had it a week now and we're not disappointed. In fact, we're delighted with it. It's a nice looking machine in matt silver. Nothing fancy, but nothing to be ashamed of either. Compared with our Toshiba, it's also very slim and light. With battery attached, it weighs in at about 2.4kg, which is about a kilo lighter than the old brick. We also like that the battery is easily detachable from the back. That means you could choose to only attach it when you need to be mobile (which would also increase its lifespan), or you could also buy a second battery to carry with you as a backup; which might be sensible if you're mobile a lot, as the battery only lasts about 3.5 hours. That's fine for our needs, but won't be for everyone.................
