| This is my first Acer computer and so far I am very impressed. Also my first Vista OS on a system. The Acer is really nice. Great Webcam, nice KB with a number keypad. The touchpad can be disabled while typing, one of the other reviewers concerns, and I disabled it as I have a wireless mouse (Recommended). As far as Vista goes, I am a computer professional with 20+ years exp.,I have decided that this OS is unfairly knocked. If you conffigure and optimize it (time consuming but worth it) it performas wonderfully. Do yourself a favor and get a 4GB USB or SD, ready boost compatible memory device and use it for the Windows ready boost. Really makes Vista sing! Overall this is a smokin deal! |

| Pro:
1. BIG!(Big screen), which is great for presentation and enough screen-space for multitasking, great for work station.
2. great value.
3. it has everything you need.
4. very quiet and the cooling system does a very good job.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Con:
1. BIG!(Heavy, 8lb!), very inconvenient for traveler.
2. Sometimes the touchpad loses control of the cursor when the machine is busy loading, causing cursor to jump all over or hang. This is the main problem of this machine.
3. Video card is weak. Definitely not for gaming, but saves a lot of battery.
4. Too much bundle software. I spent almost an hour to delete them.
5. the surface of the screen is like a glass. very reflective, not really good for outdoor use.
6. the built-in speakers sound clear. however, very poor bass respond. but not a big issue when using headphone.

| This laptop is much better than I expected, especially at Tiger's price. Screen is huge and very, very sharp and clear (albeit a bit too reflective; one sees a lot of lights and background). I find it reasonably fast despite Vista (I'd worried, from all I'd heard); it's fine for normal use. This version has a slower X3100 iGPU (not great for games) than some laptops but that gives longer battery life than the ones w/ faster GPUs (and thus this one is well suited for writing, IMHO). Some Lenovo X6x types have even longer battery life, but cost quite a bit more and Lenovo has a truly lousy rep for customer service, so I went with this. Sound is just OK. I'm very happy with it. It's huge (like a diving board) because of the screen, but much lighter than I expected. My waif of a wife commented on how light it was. Tiger shipped quickly, as always. |

| Touchpad causes cursor to jump all over - a real pain when you are writing. Left click button doesn't always work. The silver paint on the left click button wore off within 2 months. I'd like to return it! |

3M Privacy
Filters Help You Comply with Federal Confidentiality Laws
3M Privacy Computer Filters help companies comply with federal legislation
requiring confidential personal information be kept confidential. 3M Privacy
Computer filters can help medical facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
health insurance companies, etc.) comply with the Health Insurance Portability
& Accessibility Act (HIPAA). The privacy filters are a simple accessory
to desktop monitors, both LCD and CRT, as well as laptop computers. They
darken the viewable area of the monitor screen when viewed from the side,
which helps prevent the release of confidential personal information that
must be protected. Similar legislation exists for those in the financial
industry. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) places the same restrictions on banks,
finance companies, mortgage companies and credit card companies, to name
a few. They even help with PCI & SOX!

Even The Best Hard Drives Die.
Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes
are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is
the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich
application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all
around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per
year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a
company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for
organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the
difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover
from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial
impact on companies of all sizes:
|
Data type |
Time to re-create 20 MB |
Cost |
|
Sales and marketing |
19 days |
$17,000 |
|
Accounting |
21 days |
$19,000 |
|
Engineering |
42 days |
$98,000 |
The financial impact on a company is a combination
of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of
re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of
data can be extensive!
Your best solution, is an external drive as a
backup. You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore
from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.

Why Do I Have
Less Drive Space?
Your hard drive may show less space than the published specifications due to
a number of reasons.
- The way size is calculated and
displayed.
- Any "Partitions" on the disk will
change the total in a specific partition.
- Hidden files and folders decrease
available space.
- Compression increases the apparent
size, but not the physical size.
- Drives larger than the OS or Drivers
natively supports.
First, the definition of a megabytes
(or gigabytes) is a unit of data storage capacity measured in 1,048,576
bytes (or 1024KB). The larger the numbers, the more apparent the size
difference will be when listing the size as megabytes (or gigabytes) versus
bytes. Actually, both numbers are correct. The noticeable difference is due
to the 1024KB definition of a megabyte. This is why a 95.3GB hard drive can
also be listed as having 102 billion bytes of total space. Just think
of it as "round off" In the screen shot at right:
The first number is the total number of bytes,
the second number is based on the number of megabytes or gigabytes.
Second, some computers have a
non-DOS hard drive partition that is used for features such as Save to Disk,
Hibernation, or Recovery. This partition is not normally reported by the
operating system, although it can be viewed using a disk partition utility.
This is very common on desktops and laptops. NOTE:
Partition information will be created or
formatted automatically during initial system setup and a system recovery.
Third, by default, all system files
are hidden and cannot be seen. This may adversely affect the reporting of
available hard drive space. You can set your Folder Options so you view
system and hidden files and folders, but do be careful as changes to system
files can adversely affect your system.
Fourth, if you turn on Compression
for a drive, it will increase reported free space and used space, but since
compression is based upon the actual contents, this number is not fixed, but
will change as files are added or changed.
Fifth, older operating systems did
not support some of today's larger drives, so the total space reported may
be much smaller than the drive specifications.
It is also worth noting that bad sectors
are corrected by your operating system and can change the total drive space,
free space, or used space as well.
So as long as a drive is reporting a value
approximately close to the specification value, you can be comfortable that
you received the right drive and that you are getting to correct data
storage. Of course, tuning of your drive's partitions and options can
yield optimal values, but this is not something for the average user to
explore. |
