Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T-8488 11.6-Inch Blue Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life Customer Review
I chose this Acer 11.6 inch laptop over a netbook, because I wanted a small, lightweight form factor, but with real computing power, so I could do more than just surf the net.
Pros:
Lightweight, vey portable.
Intel Core 2 Duo processor much more powerful than Atom processors in netbooks.
Plenty of RAM and large hard drive for an ultralight.
Crisp, sharp display; 1366 X 768 resolution provides nice coverage without too much scrolling.
Wireless range is good (using 802.11g, haven’t tried Draft-N yet).
Comfortably-sized keyboard for such a small laptop.
Touchpad is smooth and accurate; multi-touch takes some getting used to.
Battery life is excellent! (I haven’t tested it for 8 hours straight, but using it periodically throughout the day, I think it would come close. Laptop Magazine’s test indicated 8 hrs, 45 min. on their standard battery test.
Plenty of ports - 3 USB, HDMI!!, multi-card reader.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; I like this OS much better than Vista.
Cons:
Bottom left side gets fairly warm, but I can use it directly on my lap without any discomfort.
Not really a con, but something to be aware of: no optical drive; but that shouldn’t be expected in an ultralight like this. I bought an external USB DVD drive which works fine when I need one.
Here’s a link to Laptop Magazine’s review if you want an independent technical review:
[...].
I’ve had this laptop for about a month now, with no issues (hardware or software). That means I also haven’t needed to use Acer’s technical support, so I can’t comment on that.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for an ultrportable with more computing power than a netbook.

Acer Aspire AS7740-6656 17.3-Inch HD Display Laptop (Blue) Customer Review
I usually buy my electronics through [...]. Newegg didn’t have this model so Amazon got my business on this one and I’m glad that I happened to stumble across it.
I wanted 2 things in my PC. One was a large screen and the other was speed. The 17.3″ screen is perfect. Not as bulky as an 18.4″ but larger than a 15.6″, so it’s a good compromise. The new i5 chip is great. I didn’t see the point in buying a PC with the old INTEL chips or AMD. I buy a new PC maybe every 6 years or so and considering I could have spent a lot more on a model by another manufacturer with the older chipsets it just makes more sense to buy this….which is really what makes this PC such an excellent purchase.
Usually when you find something that’s a good buy you’re making numerous compromises. That’s not the case with this Acer. From the new chip to the 500 gb hard drive to the 4 USB’s, card reader, VGA, HDMI, and dual-layer drive it’s top-notch and is of an excellent quality build. Nothing feels cheap.
I have always despised notebook PC keyboards and anticipated using an external keyboard. Well, surprise surprise surprise….with the touchpad turned off, I find this keyboard works great. The keys are a good size for my stubby fingers, I don’t mistype on it and find that the straight down touch you use, instead of the slightly angular touch I like on the external keyboards, works perfectly fine. The keyboard has a great feel to it as well. Rest your palms on the lower portion and go to work. I won’t need an external keyboard with this PC. I definitely give it an A.
The screen is excellent. It’s very sharp, equally bright and does justice to all my pics. Video is excellent and although it does not do 1080p HD, it does do lower resolution HD perfectly fine and on the 17 inch screen it looks fantastic. In fact, watching YouTube or other videos in full-screen mode looks good, but will look better when these on-line videos start sending out higher resolution streams than they do now. DVDs are excellent.
When I made my purchase decision I had looked at 6 or 7 other brands and found that the ACER beat them all on price when you compared the options it came with. The biggest dilemma for me was to get a model with a blu-ray drive and an i3 chip, or to go with the much faster i5 and not have blu-ray. For me, the best decision was to take the faster chip. I believe it would likely provide for smoother video and graphics overall and I could always add an external blu-ray drive later, if I really wanted to.
The only other factor about this PC which concerned me was that this model uses the integrated INTEL video card. I have used PCs with that in the past and found that I preferred having a separate graphics card. But my research indicated that INTEL is using a different methodology on the motherboards that have the new i series chips so I decided to go with it. So far I am pleased, but since I have not used one with a separate graphics card, I cannot say whether or not the separate graphics card offers any advantage in terms of performance. My guess is that a separate graphics card with 2 meg of dedicated RAM in addition to the 4 meg the system comes with might perform better under certain situations, however the software for this PC automatically dedicates 1,756k to video memory of the main 4mb and it’s all DDR3 so I wonder if the difference would really be that noticeable. The additional price would be though, so I think this might well be the better purchase.
One disappointment…the sound on the speakers is very low, and since it’s Dolby Home Theater with Virtual Surround Sound I expected more volume from the PC itself. Internet radio is hard to hear, but if I watch a video and use Windows Media Player or Winamp, that software boosts the sound a bit more. I use external speakers whenever I can and will continue to do so with this, but these internal speakers really are low volume.
If you’re in the market for a new notebook this is a great PC. It’s a great buy too. To borrow a phrase from a mortgage broker who advertises locally here….”It’s the biggest no-brainer in the history of earth.”

HP TouchSmart 12.1-Inch Widescreen Laptop (Black) Customer Review
First, I’d like to point out that I am located overseas. And, for anyone that has ever tried to order something and have it shipped overseas, they know it’s a pain. It takes FOREVER, and sometimes once you get it, it’s damaged. I ordered my new HP Touchsmart on the 25th of January and just received it today the 8th of February. The packaging and the computer came in perfect condition. It was very easy to get set-up. Wireless internet set-up was a piece of cake. However, I would recommend purchasing a protective screen to reduce wear and tear, and fingerprints, Other than that, i am having a blast getting to know my HP Touchsmart. Thanks Electronica!

Ok, I admit to being a techno junkie. I currently own five working laptops, and have bought (God only knows) how many desktops since the very first ones came out. I own HP, Gateway, Dell, Compaq, and two Acers. Without a doubt, Acer is on its way to becoming king of the laptop/netbook market! They produce a remarkable product at an extremely competitive price. I tested out every laptop at Office Depot, before buying this one for only 9. What sold me on this model was the incredibly brilliant screen and the amazing audio output with certified Dolby surround sound. It doesn’t sound exactly like a home theater, but it’s a vast improvement. Laptops are notorious for low volume and poor sound quality, so this model blew me away in a side-by-side comparison with other machines. I absolutely love Windows 7. The demo on the computer makes it easy to learn the new features, and lots of fun to play with. This machine is smoking fast, has an attractive design, and a wonderful multigesture touchpad. The ease with which you can enlarge text is a great convenience. I would have prefered a smaller, lighter model without the numeric keypad, but you can’t have it all, so I sacrificed small size for what you get in this machine. (Anyways, I already own the Acer Aspire netbook.) And this screen size and aspect ratio is great for watching movies. Probably the biggest con with this machine is the somewhat poor battery life, but again, you can’t have everything for such a low price, so I just keep it plugged in most of the time. Overall, it’s the most enjoyable laptop I have ever owned.

I’m pretty satisfied with the product and the excelent service of delivering the product when needed.
What I was disapointed is was the fact I didnt got the licence for the Windows office package included in my purchase, what I understand is normal! I also got a little disapointed with the fact I got a lot of software already installed in my computer which I had to uninstall what gave litle of problems.

Toshiba Satellite A355-S6930 16.0-Inch Laptop Customer Review
If you want a well built, reliable laptop … this is it. The standard configuration and set-up are good. The machine itself is quiet, with just a slight hum from the fan. I’ve been able to use the battery for over 3 hours reliably with multiple applications running. And, it doesn’t get hot at all.
I’m not as tech-savvy as some commenters here. But, for general use in our household, my kids easily watch Netflix videos, are able to game online, load their MP3 players with music, and I can listen to Pandora and run MS Office products without any hangups.
The screen is bright and the colors pop. The speakers are more than adequate for built-in laptop speakers. I’d get another one without hesitation, especially knowing Toshiba products are reliable. This is our second, my wife uses hers constantly without issues throughout the day in her home-work needs.

HP G60-440US 16-Inch Laptop Customer Review
I agree with the comments about HP support. They are overseas, know little about the product, and are idiots.
I repartitioned the drive (after shrinking the Windows partition with instructions from ubuntuguide dot org) and installed Kubuntu 9.04 Linux within 1 hour. Everything worked right away — from webcam, to wireless, to video, to VMWare. This is one of the best laptops for Linux. I consider myself proficient at computers, so I also installed a few other OSs (on multiple partitions). No problems. I love this laptop. It is fast, and the widescreen great for movies. After 2 months I have discovered no problems (other than that Windows Vista sucks, but we all knew that, and the need to remove all the junkware that HP pre-installs.) But don’t use the recovery disk(s) — it wipes the entire hard drive clean and wipes out all your data. I learned this the hard way. HP sucks at software (and support), even though the hardware is great.

Acer Aspire AS1410-2039 11.6-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) Customer Review
So what is this, a netbook or a notebook? It doesn’t really matter what you call it. It’s slightly too big to fit the netbook category, but not much. It also packs more punch than a netbook, and comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, whereas netbooks are shipped with the Starter Edition. That doesn’t mean it can play the latest 3D games, but it’s good enough to use on a daily basis. Open too many programs at once, and you may have some slight delays. But for this price, I can’t complain.

Acer Aspire Timeline AS1810T-8459 11.6-Inch Red Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life Customer Review
Have had this for less than a week but played around with it extensively. Graphics and full-sized keyboard are great and the battery life is fantastic. It was running on the battery for 8 hours normal usage and 5 hours viewing streaming content that output beautifully to my tv via hdmi port.
Minus given in value as price could be lower since you have to purchase an external optical drive. Negative is speaker volume is too low even when maxed out. I’m a musician and have very fine hearing. I found it difficult to clearly hear streaming media. I have ordered headphones and am looking forward to hearing the Dolby Sound Room output through them.
Originally planned to buy an Asus netbook and upgrade RAM/Harddrive but this system has everything- without upgrading. Plus, Intel Core 2 Duo processor is faster than Atom or Celeron. It gets a 3.2 score for system performance. The integrated graphics brings the score down to 3.2 overall with individual scores of: Processor=4.1; RAM=4.8;Hard Disk=5.4; and Graphics= 3.2. That is a higher score than my 17″ Vista Acer Laptop.
This small package is a powerful system. I use it in my home theater and for traveling. I love this little pc perhaps more than the fancy desktops that I have built myself.

I have the model Aspire 5738Z, and it is excellent. I have had it for over 4 months now, use it every day for online University and it has never failed me. Smooth running, no freezeups. The number pad next to the keyboard is an excellent addition as I use it for my math classes. The price is right, the quality is excellent.
Sound is very good, keyboard and keys are comfortable, webcam is awesome. Battery life is as described, even though I mostly use it plugged in. I am running Windows Vista and have no issues. Love this computer.

Alienware M17x-2857DSB 17-Inch Laptop (Black) Customer Review
Well i was really leary about buying an alienware mostly because of the price and less expensive laptops you could get for a lesser price with the same or higher specs. Well here’s the reason this is so worth it, and much better. First off all parts on the inside are intel genuine parts, Nvidia genuine parts and the whole laptop is build from the ground up with super top notch components. Lots of computers such as Acers, Gateway, HP, and even Sony use other companies to manufacture there motherboards graphic cards, screens etc etc. This thing is an absolute sherman tank, and just looks and feels down right indestructible. When i pulled it out of the box (which looked like is cost about 100$ itself i was like wow impressive). It was wrapped in a velvet black Alienware sleeve which was pretty unique, upon opening it i couldn’t believe the weight(could be a con for some people), and then i realized this thing has METAL components, on the sides, bottom and the back of the screen. How often do you see that, never? So yes this thing is well worth the money. Now onto the specs. What it doesnt tell you(i’m writing about the Best Buy model) is that this unit is equipted with two yes two GPU’s. One is the main Nvidia GTX 260, the other an Nvidia 9400, so basically the more powerful GPU feeds off the lesser one to give you extra graphical and gaming ability, and yes it shows, big time. The resolution may not be full 1080p(its 1440×900) but who really cares? Check on Xbox and Ps3 and you’ll find there are very very few games that even run at full 1080p resolution, even upscaled the games look noting like on this thing. I’ve played Bioshock, Red Faction Guerilla, Resident Evil 5, and Crysis so far all without a hitch, even Crysis you can play at very high setting with a playable frame rate. The glossy screen really brings out the details and vibrant colors especially with antialiasing, even though its not the brightest in the world, its great. The slot loading DVD-RW is great, loads very quickly, and runs quietly. Don’t be fooled by all the hype of the new I series intel chipsets, the i7 did not make that much of an impression on me, this thing has the Quad 2 Core running at 2.0 ghz, and the system rating for calculations per second are 6.9. The i7 in most of the other gaming machines is about 7.0 or 7.2, whoopi do, who really cares?? Also the overall look of this machine is just beautiful, the keys are atomatically set to blue, but you can change them to about any color you want using the Alienware Utility Console.
The battery can get up to 3 hours if you turn down the screen and don’t really game TO heavy, so thats definitely a plus. I got fed up with Asus because of allll kinds of wireless issues, blue screens of death, disc read errors, squashed unresponsive keys, and just some overall major screwups with the machines themselves. So yes i payed the extra money figuring this would be better and it way surpassed my expectations, being that it blows the more modern but fading Asus G60 and G72 series laptops out of the water. The speakers in the front also glow the same color as the keys or a different variety if you want, which is really something. On another note i opened the box with the power adapter and its a flat box type shaped, not the usual box Xbox 360 type adapter you usually get with gaming machines. I will add another 2 gigs(to get 6) just to add it, but heck it doesnt even need it, this thing is still a multitasking beast. I think anything over 6 gigs is really uneeded sine most games require no more than 3 gigs anyways, and that would be a shock. So as i’ve praised this is the first REAL gaming laptop i’ve ever owned, all the rest were ok but nothing compared to this thing. When they say its made for heavy duty gaming and multitasking they weren’t kidding. This beast will surely stand the test of time, and is also upgradable for any GPU out there, but i don’t think i’ll ever need anything more. If you have the cash don’t waste your time with Asus, Cyperpower, or even Toshiba Qosmio, even it the specs are better this thing is specifically designed for heavy use. The sound quality is the loudest i’ve ever heard, and also has a subwoofer. The only one thing that is a slight small issue is when your playing games the fan is realllly loud, but i really could care less considering i know it will never overheat, umm thats what the fans and cooling system are for. I’ve had other laptops where the fan didn’t even run, not good. So enough going on and on, if you have the cash or credit just get it, its not just for gamers its for anyone that ones a really awesome looking and performing laptop to last for many years. One last funny thing is you get an Alienware black hat, and a manual bound in leather that looks like a bible, and also an Alienware alienhead sticker for, well wherever you wanna stick it. HA.
Only two things, no blu ray, which i could care less since i have it on my PS3, and i wish in these units they would put a 16x or 18x DVD burner, instead of just 8x.
