Comments, Questions and Answers

Expand/CollapseGeneral Feedback

6-Dec-2007 12345: does this have nvidia in it?

Easycom: No, integrated graphics.

10-Jan-2008 Eddie: Hello, would this product be compatible with pc games (guild wars etc) and/or online gaming and is the graphics card dedicated or shared?

Easycom: It should run these games. But i recommend a laptop with dedicated graphics memory card.

21-Jan-2008 carolb: i want a laptop for the internet (preferably wireless), photos & music. would this be suitable?

Easycom: Yes it would.

12-Feb-2008 Anthony: I want to be able to use a laptop for recording music on..will this laptop be able to do that with ease?

Easycom: It's always a good idea to use an external sound card if recording onto a laptop. Apart from that it should be fine, but check the requirements of any software you use though.

16-Feb-2008 rhian: will adobe audition 3 work on this laptop?

Easycom: It should do.

19-Feb-2008 Andythevideoman: hi does the computer come with a reinstall disk for windows vista in case something goes wrong and it has to be taken back to factory settings???

Easycom: It comes with a restore partition on the hard drive which can also be used to burn your own recovery discs.

4-Mar-2008 Matt: Where is the fan input for this laptop? My current Dell has the fan underneath and frequently overheats. Is the fan location the same on this range?

Easycom: The ventilation for this laptop is located at the back.

25-Apr-2008 Graham.: Does this have a built in microphone with the built in camera?

Easycom: Yes, it does.

2-Jul-2008 jaycee: can this laptop operate effectively only using Vodafone mobile broadband?

Easycom: Yes.

11-Jul-2008 Richard B: Does this laptop have a stereo line in or stereo microphone socket?

Easycom: Yes, it has a stereo line-in port.

24-Jul-2008 *Bella*: hello, im 11 will this be suitable for me as i want it for highschool.

Easycom: Yes this is a very versatile laptop and will be great for school work.

2-Aug-2008 Paddy: Why is this laptop in the gaming section when it has only integrated grapics?

Easycom: we will alter the website accordingly

19-Aug-2008 (: Is this laptop good for my son who is going in to yr9 so will need to use it for school work, revision and wants to be able to play games and surf the net?

Easycom: It should be fine for school work and web browsing. However, if you want it to be able to play games this model doesn't have a powerful enough graphics card to run most games.

19-Aug-2008 ?: Im not an intense gamer but i like the odd game and internet gaming, is this laptop ok for that?

Easycom: The graphics capability of this model isn't really built for games. For that you need dedicated graphics cards. Look for nvidia or Ati Graphics cards which, are present in a lot of models, if you want to play games

31-Aug-2008 mancityfc: can this laptop play games like call of duty 4?

Easycom: This model does not have the processor speed or graphcs card for call of duty 4. For a gaming laptop you'll need to look for models with a dedicated graphics card such as the nVidia 8600 gt

23-Sep-2008 Chris & Siobhan Nunn: How long is the Microsoft Home trial period? Can I have this computer with XP loaded instead of Vista?

SteveF: The trial is generally 60 days. Unfortunately we can't downgrade any laptops with vista home premium or home basic although if contact Acer, they may be able to supply the drivers to do this yourself.

23-Sep-2008 Bad Boy Bubba: Does it have a webcam?

SteveF: Yes it does.

24-Sep-2008 Calum: Does this laptop accept CF cards as it says it has an integrated memory card reader?

SteveF: Its a 5 in 1 card reader that accepts SD Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card.

28-Sep-2008 a90: Can you hook this laptop up to a projector?

SteveF: Yes you can.

7-Oct-2008 Basa: has this model got a bluetooth inbuilt? thanks basha

Matt: No.

14-Oct-2008 Todd: Hi, i have a bt home hub with a wired connection and just wanted to know if it can be used with this laptop? cheers

SteveF: Yes it can.

25-Oct-2008 Hayley: does this laptop have built in wifi in it?

Matt: Yes.

27-Oct-2008 Radka: The processor speed looks low, my boyfriens 1 year old Toshiba has 1.85ghz, and sometimes slows up playing dvd's, I like the look of this laptop and the big screen for dvd's with my daughter while on holiday - can you comment on the processor and playing dvd's - can you upgrade the processor easily if it is not good enough??

Matt: A 1.85Ghz processor is easily capable of playing a DVD, if it struggles then there is problem somewhere else in the system. You cant really upgrade them though like you can in a Desktop PC.

28-Oct-2008 Hayley: will i be able to go straight on the internet when i get this out of its box?

SteveF: You will need some internet security but as long as you are wifi ready at home, the laptop will connect straight away.

31-Oct-2008 Colinz: I am looking to buy this laptop, but have a concern over what games can be played on it. Would it be able to play Red Alert 3 for example?

SteveF: Unfortunately the graphics card is shared so it will struggle to play any serious games.

1-Nov-2008 Gill: Ihave heard that there have been some problems conncting Vista to Orange Wanadoo, has this been rectified?

Matt: I havent heard of any such problems, and I have seen Vista running well with Orange broadband.

3-Nov-2008 Tom: Hi would this latop be suitable suppot games such as Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare or even a game like World of Warcraft

SteveF: No, you would need a laptop with a dedicated graphics card such as the nVidea geforce series.

4-Nov-2008 Martin: Do online games such as World of Warcraft run on this laptop, or Call of Duty 4? Thanks

SteveF: No, you will need to find a model with a dedicated graphics card.

5-Nov-2008 JSW: You have said the restore is located in a hidden portion off the hard drive, can you clarify which partion this is located.

SteveF: You will have too hard drives showing when you look in - my computer. The smaller one is the recovery partition.

9-Nov-2008 Apricot Smuggler: This model is listed on your Gaming Laptops page, but clearly from some of the comments here it is evident that it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card and therefore is not really a true gaming laptop. Do Acer currently produce anything more suitable and if so what is the model and do you sell it?

david s: Your right this isnt a gaming laptop, and yes they do. Have you considered the 6920 or 30 or even the 8920 or 30, and the 5920g and 5520g machines??
