REVIEW BY: Bad Andy Reviewed  Oct 14, 2008
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!

REVIEW BY: Benz Reviewed  Oct 03, 2008
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.

I have two of these bad boys; one for grandduaghter for college, one for wife. Works very well, features are great. Make sure you install Vista SP1 and do the updates for max performance.

REVIEW BY: cbb Reviewed  Jul 22, 2008
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.

REVIEW BY: Alarla Reviewed  Jul 13, 2008
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.
  1. The way size is calculated and displayed.
  2. Any "Partitions" on the disk will change the total in a specific partition.
  3. Hidden files and folders decrease available space.
  4. Compression increases the apparent size, but not the physical size.
  5. 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.
