Customer Reviews
My 7 year old Acer 5630 was slowly dying due to power supply problems and had to be replaced, so I did a thorough review of all available laptops and deals. This machine at £330 is unbelievable.
Smart machine, although the shiny top does get fingermarks all over it too easily. Windows 8 is totally alien to me having been on XP for the last 7 years, I was totally lost when first switching it on and decided there and then to get a 'professional' in to set it up (whilst watching every move he made and asking appropriate questions). Best £40 I have paid, as he set up everything, my wireless connections to broadband and Brother printer, transferred my files via his USB, installed Avast security, gave me Libre office/spreadsheet programs to save me buying Word, Skype, home page set-up with Firefox (and Chrome as another choice), deleted all the junk and gave me a fair bit of instruction.
I have just ordered a 4GB RAM upgrade from Crucial for £16.79, which leaves me with an i5 8GB/500GB Windows 8 laptop fully set up for less than £400!!!!!amazing.
It will obviously take me a while to get a grip of Windows 8, but I suppose XP will eventually go, so time to bite the bullet.
I have just also ordered a 16GB USB drive (KIngston data traveller 101) to store back-up configuration for £7.42!!!!!great value.
I'm already liking this laptop and getting a grip of Windows 8. Great start to 2013.
Forget Samsung/Toshiba etc. This Acer is superb.
This Silver and Black design had me sitting in AWE when I removed it from its packaging,
oh! By the way "Acer had NO Foam" but Amazon made sure the ACER Box was well protected and
Packaged inside another Tightly fitting BOX. 5/5 for Amazon.co.uk and "NO Dead Pixels"...
.
I have to say I had Planned in installing a Program called (Start8) which Automatically gives
you back the positioning of the Windows 7 (Start Panel), when after a few's hours of getting to
know my way around the laptop (which is dead ZIPPY) very Fast, and it doesn't need a Solid State
Drive for more performance. I ended up NOT needing the (Start8) Program after all, because after
Pressing the (Windows button + C) on the keyboard, the Start Menu appears, its just cleverly hidden.
.
It came with a host of decent software to start you off until you can make arrangements to get your
own Like McAfee Internet Security 2013, which was a relief because I would not go on the internet for
2 mins, without an Anti-Virus Package, thank goodness McAfee was inside. Which made me feel safe.
You usually have spend 20-30mins on the internet when you 1st boot it, to set up your own Twitter &
Facebook, settings together with a Microsoft security features, so if the laptop should fall into the wrong
hands, its NO good to them the DATA will be encrypted. (of course you CAN SKIP all that if its NOT for you).
.
So in theory if you just want to remove it from the Box and decide to give it a TEST DRIVE without anything
to hold you back, immediately (YES YOU CAN JUST PRESS SKIP) to it all.. its your i5 Laptop do as you please.
I thought being an i5 it would have been a quad core just like the Desktop, but NO its a Core i5 Laptop CPU
with 2 Cores and 4 Threads so it can Multi-task very efficiently indeed and the 4x Threads is NOT too far away
from a 4 Core solution, though it has the other main features which are the i5 "IVY-BRIDGE 3rd Generation CPU"
Architecture, which is 10% more in the performance table than the Sandy-Bridge CPU Plus it runs cooler (the laptop
CPU does anyways). It also runs on virtually the same power of one of those older light bulbs, which is very little.
.
Its Got 4GB Ram which is enough, until you find the time or money, to upgrade to 8GB Ram if you feel you need to,
however, if its a lot of light work you are going to be doing then give it a miss the 4GB Ram is sufficient.
8GB would just give it the edge on Program's running several at a time, but if that's not you're plans then Pls ignore.
A Stick of (4GB DDR3 So-dimm 204 memory 1333) for a laptop is only £14.99 on Amazon. And its very easy to fit.!
.
This Laptop has had some *5 Star reviews around the internet which swayed me, towards the ACER, and NO its NOT full of
Bloatware, it seems that ACER have "Listened to the customer this time".
.
For the Very Low Asking Price with (4 Threads), which show's up as 4 cores in the Windows 8 Device Manger, and a Turbo
Speed of 3.1GHz when you need the power, this Laptop, is certainly one of the "BEST BUYS" on Amazon at Present.
No it's not a finger print magnet either. Someone else mentioned that, and (I felt I had best to put that one to bed).
To wrap it up, the Keyboard is fabulous, and it has a very clever touch Pad, which is very intuitive, so no need for
a mouse when you take you machine outside. One last thing Please order any Tech-Air Laptop case, grate value, and
grate protection, the "back Pack" One Tech-Air has oodles of foam padding, for under £20.
PS. Please don't be afraid of (Window's 8) as it will grow on you very quickly!
Its got a very intuitive touch pad which is like the 50 quid Logitech ones, you have to pay for that operate on multi touch
especially, just for Windows 8, so you can use all the multi-touch gestures, its a really clever multi-touch pad unlike,
other laptop tracking pads. (please be aware of that so you do not need any special hardware)...
Thanks for reading... I hope its been helpful.! cheers.. David.
- Powerful CPU
- Improved Graphics from the HD 3000

I would recommend this laptop over again to anybody who needed a budget, high performance build. 5/5*
