Good budget laptop, but poor battery life.
This isn't a bad laptop, but after an hour on battery it was down to 1 hr 40 left (or similar) on several days in a row after charging all night.
Build quality is good for the price but the USB sockets were unusually tight, you have to push plugs in harder than seems sensible.
Oh yes, I should add that mine only lasted two weeks before it randomly deleted all my user data and some essential bits of windows. I assume it was a faulty disk.
UPDATE: Fool that I am, I bought another of these to replace the one that went faulty. The second one lasted 7 months before developing almost exactly the same fault..... Windows won't run and won't refresh or go back to factory settings! I have used Acer laptops happily for years, but do yourselves a favour and think twice about buying an Acer Aspire.

Michael D.Built to keep you active, engaged and on the move, the Aspire 3 has the technology to suit your way of life. The delicate horizontal hair-line brush pattern delivers a beautifully inviting tactile finish.
