Too many problems w/ Acer laptops...AVOID!

By NJKatwoman  Jun 12, 2009

Pros: Nice big screen, pretty fast

Cons: Overheats & shuts down, loses E drive, short battery life

I've had my Acer Extensa 4620Z for a year and a half. It overheats constantly, and shuts down unexpectedly. Have lost, regained, and lost, (now gone again) my E drive...(DVD/CD drive) The battery doesn't last more than two hours, if lucky....and is too hot to keep on your lap....and it's a LAPtop! Mine came w/ a built in web-cam, a fairly fast processer and 120 gigs. For the money, it's OK. I paid $585.00 off of Ebay, with free shipping back in April of 2008. The "restore discs" that came w/ it were useless, and I was forced to buy Window's Vista Home Premuim for $239.99 plus tax to reinstall the OS.
Yes, the E drive worked for two weeks w/ the new OS, now will have to reformat the whole thing all over again.
All in all, I get a lot of use from it, but am so disappointed with the short battery life, the overheating, (even when I put a small fan underneath it), the loss of my E (DVD/CD) drive...and I think anyone could do better than buying an Acer if they shopped around.
Even a used system would be better than buying a brand new Acer.

Pros: quite easy to use

Cons: white keyboard, the weight, the heat....

this is my first laptop, so for me, as long as i can use it for internet surfing, storing data ie. songs, pictures and stuff. it tend to heat up pretty quick, so i had to buy this coolers....the rest, i think is ok, no problem at the moment. will be looking for a new, faster, lighter, smaller size laptop though....in the future, that is....

Great for Multimedia

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 1, 2008

Pros: No Problem in running appllications like 3D Studio Max

Cons: Battery & White keyboard

This is a great laptop with all the todays needs like : wi-fi, bluetooth, webcam etc.

This fullfils my needs, I needed a laptop where I can run 3D Studio Max, and it performs very good, although while rendering.

I reffered it to my relative, and those are happy too.

Great value for money.

Graphics performance is Great.

Don't BUY this laptop

By Lindsey G  Mar 28, 2008

Pros: Price

Cons: Everything

I bought this laptop in December. It has been sent to the "repair" center twice now for the same problem. Something happens where the plug no longer charges the battery and so it dies. I have paid over $50 in shipping to ship it to them to get it fixed and everytime I call customer service I get someone who is rude and doesn't want to deal with it. The 1st time it died it took 2 weeks to get it there and fixed and back, this time it has been 2 weeks and they still have it. It has great specs but the speed and workmanship and sound leave MUCH to desire...

Avoid - slower than my 2001 PC!

Pros: lightweight, good battery

Cons: half the speed of my older PC from 7 years ago

This thing stinks. I now use my 7-yr-old PC with Windows 2000 more than I use this Acer because it is 2-3 times as fast (i.e. you don't wait 8-12 seconds for a window to open, process to launch, etc.)
Comes cluttered with advertising material, esp. in the explorer window.
Windows Vista (included) is no treat, and although it claims you have admin rights when logging in, half the programs I've tried to install will not as they claim you still "must have admin permissions". What??!
At least the cost was relatively cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Don't repeat my mistake; save yourself :(

Amazing one!!!

By Franco Kia  Feb 7, 2008 | 1 out of 2 found this Acer Aspire 4520-5582 review helpful

Pros: wonderful feature with an affordable price

Cons: still a bit heavy

well, the main reason why i had chose this laptop is because its specs. before bought it, i am looking for a laptop that at least equipped with good graphic, sound, and optical drives. the processor speed is not my main concern. and i got them all in this laptop. here, in indonesia (my country) the type that i got is the one with 1,9 ghz athlon x2 processor, 80 gb hdd, 512 ddr2 memory, and nvdia 7000. the hdd size is a bit small, but that won't be a problem since i can cover it by buying the external one with 250 gb capacity. moreover, i also expand the ram onto 2024 mb (by kingston), adding some amount of money. there it goes. now i got a wonderful gadget...

another additional consideration is the support. integrated webcam, bluetooth and wi-fi attached into this laptop would be a good value.

$ 656 is the basic price (dec 2007) in indonesia and i paid $ 724 after the memory upgrading. worthly, isn't it??

great
