"I love my acer 9800. Big Beautiful and Fast"
Pros: Big Screen, Hard Drive Space, Multiple Inputs, Bluetooth, Big Screen.
Cons: Weight (15 lbs), Battery Life, Hard Drive Space
Summary: I replaced my desktop computer at the begining of 2007 with the new Acer 9800 Aspire. I'm so glad I did.
I do a lot of graphic editing and web design and the 21" screen is awesome... very clear and crisp. It's a bit heavy to have on your lap, but it's mobility more than makes up for that. It's fast enough to run all of the applications I need (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Office, etc...) I don't game much, so I'm not sure of it's 3D power, but the video on it is great.
I use a MicroSoft bluetooth wireless mouse - it works perfectly with the bluetooth in the laptop -- yeah, no dongles!
It has more than enough USB ports, along with Firewire and an SD slot.
The hard drive is bigger than most laptop hard drives (200GB total) which is nice... but I can never have enough hard drive space.
Did I mention that the screen is BEAUTIFUL!?
The worst thing about it is that it's really too big to take out of the house... I've done it twice in the 18 months that I've owned it. I still can't find a bag or case that it will fit in... but I'm not sure if I would take it out much even if I did find one.
It's a great computer and I've never had any problems with it... running Vista just fine. All software is great.
I give it 4 of 5 stars mostly because its (im)mobility and weight. The 20" screen almost makes it a 5/5.
