But Maxell seems to work. I suffered about a month of pain trying to get a cousin's wedding from the DV camera to a DVD - I had no idea that the problem was with the brand of DVD I was trying to burn! As several others mentioned, I agree that the Acer software which came factory installed slows the machine down and doesn't seem to add much value. Otherwise - highly recommended. from Amazon.com removing everything and putting all that i need.. it works great. even installed ubuntu as a 2nd OS on it.. and it works great! from Amazon.com I like this laptop, really i do, i just have some minor complaints due Microsoft Crappy Vista and the bloatware that Acer includes in this model, but the machine overall is good and well for less than us$ 500. A lot of hard drive ( i suppose they're offering so much of it because all of the programs that comes with it), a lot of memory etc. from Amazon.com Right now I am quite annoyed with Amazon for posting that this computer is eligible for a Windows 7 upgrade. I contacted Acer and I have been informed this computer is NOT eligible, so if that is a reason for you to buy this computer, look for another one and make sure it is- you can't believe it just because Amazon posts it on the item page, apparently. I have never had any problem with Amazon in the past, so I am surprised by their false advertising. from Amazon.com I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Update - Just got the Caselogic VLS-114 14.1-Inch Laptop Sleeve from Amazon today... The Acer fits great, has padding and is canvas like for protection and not much of increase in overall size. from Amazon.com Pros: *Well built laptop*Great Value*Powerful components*Wireless N*Small, Lightweight closest thing to a netbook with power you will find :) Cons: *Lacks 64bit Vista (which I assumed Vista Premium would come with it standard)*Horrible battery power around 2 hours on power saving mode.*The laptop keyboard although built well has alot of unnecessary Acer buttons and such which look horrible and you won't ever use them. Other Thoughts: Its a steal for $450.00 I highly recommend it. from Newegg.com Pros: Acer never disappoint me so far. This one is fast, cheap, light weight and plenty of horse power. from Newegg.com Pros: I was a little worried going to a 14" screen after the 12" with the same resolution, no fears as it is an amazing screen for the price. No dead pixels on arrival. from Newegg.com I was going to "downgrade" to XP immediately but the machine actually runs Vista without problem (at least it is after you disable all the crapware/bloatware running in the background). BIG hard drive. Cons: As noted by others, lot's of crapware. There are even dedicated keys to launch some of the crapware (specifically, Acer-specific software for power management, disk security/file encryption, and system backup), and although the dedicated keys seem like they are programmable, they actually are not. from Newegg.com Pros: Large Hard Drive, 3 gig Ram, Decent CPU and on board NVIDIA graphics make this a great budget notebook. Screen is clear and bright. from Newegg.com
