You don't need more
Due to my duty work, this is like the 6th time I buy a laptop. The first thing I learned about a laptop is to not to invest a lot of money on it. The reason? Laptops suffers a lot during traveling, turning it on/off too often, electricity peaks, etc. Therefore, sooner or later, if they are not stolen, their parts will start to fail, and you will spend a lot of money in spare parts. That is the reason I decided this time to buy this reasonable offer. Laptop works fine (due to Windows Vista and "only" 1 MB of RAM memory, sometimes is not as fast as you would like, but that is already advertised on this version of Windows. Pre-instaled software is fine, Hard disk capacity is ore than enough. Anyway, if you need more hard disk capacity, is better to invest on an external hard disk (it will last more than your laptop, for sure) but 80 Gb is quite an amount. The wireless connection is very powerful (detects my wireless router faster and easier) and the laptop weight and screen size is just what you need. Therefore, don't waist your money with much powerful laptops, there is no reason to do it, unless you don't move from one spot to another, but in that case buy a desktop.

Outstanding
Great product for a very reasonable price! Plenty of ram to push Vista & Vista Premium is the best OS of all Vistas. My Stepdaughter is thrilled with it, just what she needed for college. One of the things I liked about it was that there were not too many ads & free trials on it-Acer is a good brand according to PC World magazine. Very satisfied.

For $600 is a nice deal
I bought this computer last January. For the price of $600 is really a bargain.

Problems: After two months the web cam only could be used if I was logged to the messenger.

You might want to have it on a cool place because the computer and the ac adaptor become very hot, but I haven't have any failure yet

For the Ram, you might want to consider to at least but another 512mb of memory, you do that, and that machine would fly

No Windows Vista cd is included, that is bad, and for the drivers you must dowload them from the ACER site

But believe me, is a nice deal, still works like the first day (only the webcam issue )

Battery Issue
I bought it in Dec 07 and battery went out of commission in May 08. It wouldn't charge no more than 2%. Also when I start the computer with the battery on it hangs up for A VERY LONG time!

To replace the battery costs [...] There was another user that had a similar issue, and Acer was replacing certain batteries for a known issue. Unfortunately they would not replace mine!! So now I have a mobile DESKTOP.... since I have removed the battery and have it plugged in all the times.

Also 1GB memory is too low and works very very slow. I upgraded to 2GB and works great!

Wifi has a toggle switch (to turn on/off). Even after I disable wifi after few minutes wifi comes back up. I have learned to live with this now, but for this reason I prefer to have a hard on/off switch to turn off wifi whenever I don't need it.

It is said to have 120GB, but I guess someone screwed up on the bytes to GB conversion and computer actually shows only 101.9GB!

Terrible Power Supply Connector
This laptop (Acer 5050) performs well. I have been very pleased with how it runs. The problem is that the power supply adaptor is defective. This happens so often, there is actually an external charger sold for the battery that you can find on amazon. I have had the adaptor connection on the laptop go out twice in 18 months. What's worse is unlike HP laptops, there is no docking station port to get around this problem. Acer will temperarely fix the problem for 400$, and is very unsympathetic in regards to helping me or their other customers find a solution. For this reason, I unfortunately had to give an otherwise good product a 1 star :(
Too bad because this would otherwise be a cost effective laptop, but with the mounting repair bills, it quickly becomes one of the most expensive laptops one will ever own.

Acer computer AS6920
We received the computer with free shipping in 2 days. The computer is working great as expected. The finger print "password" reader is a nice feature and is functioning well.

Fantasmagorical
This is a phenomenal laptop for the price. I did massive amounts of research and discovered that this one was the best machine for the price. It includes a ton of features that make it that much better. More specifically I am referring to the blu ray drive and the hdmi port. Blu ray movies look fantastic on the screen, which is glossy and very clear. A major selling point of this model is the sound system. It is by far the best set of speakers i have heard come out of a laptop.

This computer is also very fast with a Core 2 Duo and 4GB of ram, which have decently fast stock timings and allows Vista to run smoothly. The video card can also handle somewhat intense games if that's another thing you're looking for. The CineDash, which is the media control on the left side which is touch sensitive, is a very nice touch. It responds well and can be used for Acer Arcade (preinstalled) and also works with iTunes and Windows Media Player. It also includes a fingerprint scanner under the mousepad for a nice touch. Cooling was very important to me and this laptop did not disappoint. Running blu ray discs uses a lot of resources and after movies, the bottom is room temperature and cools off quickly. It's slightly raised in the back to allow the air to escape from underneath it and saving me money on a cooler.

There are some cons with this laptop as well. The hard drive comes standard partitioned in half already. One half is for the operating system and the other is for whatever else you want. This is slightly inconvenient but can be solved with a partition manager. This laptop also comes preloaded with a lot of programs, some useful and some not. Included in that are a slew of games and were annoying to uninstall. The battery life leaves more to be desired. It lasts only about 3 hours but thats what you get with all these bells and whistles.

Overall this is an amazing laptop with many media capabilities and multitasking opportunities to allow the user to have fun. I recommend this product as a knowledgeable computer user to everyone. [...]

A very well equipped multimedia laptop!
Just got this laptop from an electronics store and absolutely love it!

It runs quiet and cool, but the best feature is the Blu-ray (especially now that the format war is over). Since the Blu-ray player alone costs well over $300, it's a great addition. I'm glad the manufactures equipped the laptop with a WXGA+ screen that can really take advantage of the resolution. And the movies look absolutely gorgeous!

The other great features are the 2GB ram (ample for everyday needs), the Nvidia Geforce 8400 (handles most games very well), the huge 250 GB hard drive. The unit also comes with an ExpressCard/54 slot. Apparently, it can be used to add memory, graphics upgrades and security devices so it should be future proof. Also, the unit comes with Vista Premium instead of Vista Basic and I do prefer it. The two thinks missing from Basic are the fancy Aero interface and Windows Media Center. The Aero interface is a nifty 3D accelerated smoothly animating User Interface which really brings the screen to life. Without it, the desktop looks sort of plain and flat, and the whole OS is a little dull and not as fun. Windows Media Center is a real boon with its interface for using your PC to listen to music, watch video, record TV programs, etc. The manufacturer's likely had this in mind when they built the laptop as the different components complement each other really well.

The only thing that wasn't great was the battery life. For 17" laptops, 2-2:30 hours is average to above average so it's about par.

All in all, a great multimedia laptop which can play Blu-ray movies. I like it so much I think I might buy two!

Works very well
If you are looking for a bargain priced computer to use for some on-line surfing and as a word processor, or to keep your digital documents/pictures on, this is the one. Quick bootup, no hassles at all setting it up, and the keyboard and the touch pad are quite user friendly (i.e. fingers dont easily slide off the keys; touchpad not too sensitive, etc). For advanced computing, it would do you no good, but for $400 a fantastic bargain.

SUPERB LAPTOP
COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THIS LATOP.COST EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS TO BUY ONE.

Amazon.com Product Description
Give your laptop an artistic vibe with the Acer Aspire 5720-6661, which provides a contrast between the high-tech, dark and glimmering exterior and the pearl-grey CeramiFinish interior of its Gemstone design concept. This multimedia maven has a 15.4-inch Acer CrystalBrite display, which provides great color saturation and excellent contrast in all environments, and Nvidia GeForce 8400M graphics with up to 768 MB of video memory shared with the system. It also offers easy video conferencing with the integrated Crystal Eye webcam, which supports Acer PrimaLite technology for enhanced performance in low-light environments.

This notebook also incorporates an HD DVD drive that's compatible with the new high-definition DVD disc format. Enjoy amazingly crisp and vibrantly colorful imagery from this new format. The optical drive also incorporates a dual-layer, multi-format DVD/CD burner that enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. It's powered by the 1.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 2 GB of RAM (maximum capacity), tri-mode, Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11a/b/g), ExpressCard 54 slot, and a multi-format memory card reader.

It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor has a 1.5 GHz processor speed, fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:
- Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
- Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
- Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
- Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, 2 x 1 GB) maximizes the capacity for this notebook, and it also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed.
DVD/CD Drive: This Acer notebook offers the next generation of DVD entertainment with the HD DVD ROM optical drive, which provides the superior image and sound quality of high-definition images and multichannel surround sound as well as backward compatibility with standard DVD movie discs and content burned onto DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM. It also incorporates a multi-format DVD/CD burner, which is compatible with dual-layer (DL) discs that can hold up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 16x CD-R, 10x CD-RW, 4x DVD-R, 4x DVD+R, 4x DVD-RW, 4x DVD+RW, 3x DVD-RAM, 2.4x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 2x DVD-R DL (double-layer).
Keyboard & Mouse: The keyboard features an inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, 2.5mm minimum key travel, and international language support. It also offers a touchpad with four-way integrated scroll button, WLAN easy launch button, volume adjustment wheel, and independent US dollar and Euro sign keys.

Screen, Video & Audio
Get 30 percent more multimedia viewing space than with traditional 4:3 XGA displays via the wide-aspect 15.4-inch screen (1280 x 800). Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. It's great for sophisticated professional applications, photo manipulation, and immersive 3-D games.

Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 8400M graphics card, which provides up to 768 MB of available RAM/video memory (256 MB dedicated video RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), the 8400M lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook features an integrated PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless LAN that's compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). You also get super-fast wired connectivity via the Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000). Here's the full list of connection options:

4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
ExpressCard 54 slot
5-in-1 card reader compatible with MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card
1 VGA for external monitor
1 headphone jack (with S/PDIF Support), 1 microphone jack
56K modem (V.90)

Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

Customer Reviews

I like it
I got this on an Amazon sale and it was a great deal. I'm happy with Vista; haven't seen any problems with it. I've played an HD DVD on it with no problem. It does lag on the typing, but I haven't bothered with a fix for it yet. The only thing I would have liked is for the screen resolution to be a little higher; it's only 1280x800. It has a lot more ram, larger hard drive and faster than my HP laptop and was about 1/3 the price at the time I bought it.

good value at offer price
good deal for decent graphics..contrary to other review has restore partition and software to create backup discs..both of which I've tested and work fine..actually has some decent software included dvd/cd burner,dvd producer etc..plays hd-dvd discs faultlessly..if you can get this at $699 or less it's a good deal

Annoyed Purchaser
When I started up this laptop I noticed that Vista was using nearly 1 gig of the ram. I also noticed that my typing was lagged. After spending a frustrating hour searching on the internet I found that this was a common problem with Acer latpops. The touchpad driver acer ships with this product doesn't work right and forces vista to use massive amounts of ram. Thankfully it's an easy enough fix and their are plenty of instructions how to on the internet.

If you buy this laptop, and don't get me wrong (it's a great deal for what you get), make sure you update the touchpad driver as soon as possible.

Great Solid System from A Reliable company.
I Trust two companies to buy laptops from: 1. Apple 2. ACER. I have a home office and need two laptops, one with Vista and one with OS X 10.5 Leopard. When I went to but a copy of XP to add to my Macbook Pro (*****) using parallels or dual boot I noticed that This Acer laptop (well an Acer laptop nearly the same as this one) was 200 dollars more than a copy of XP so I did the logical thing and bought the laptop instead. I gave my Wife and son an ASUS Eee PC which they are very pleased with, my wife likes to take it traveling with her and uses her HP laptop for main purposes becasue she is not a huge fan on Linux like myself. Back to the ACER one it's a solid machine and affordable. Vista runs perfectly on it, lots of great useful programs, some crapware like all Windows based preloaded computers nowadays, but after a little add/remove cleaning, perfect. The ACER I bought is the same as this one except it has: 2.13 GHZ Intel-Celeron 560, 3GB DDR2 Ram, 160 GB HD, 15.5" Crystalbrite screen which gives beautiful color and resolution. DVD-Super Multi Dl and very solid 802.11 bg/g Wylan which made it a sinch to add to my home network with zero headaches unlike my previous Ubuntu computer which needed days worth of configuring just to hear sounds, change background image, do anything worthwhile....not to mention connecting to the internet...wireless is a nightmare with Linux esspessially Ubuntu, total garbage and the worst OS ever, thats when I knew I needed to welcome Windows back in my life as a secondary OS/Laptop next to my Macbook Pro/OS X which cannot be beat with performance. Acer makes great products and this laptop is a steal at the asking price. ***** Awesome job Acer/Microsoft.

Good Student Laptop - A Little Heavy
We bought 3 of the "Acer Aspire 5315" laptops, 2 for my teenage kids and one for my mother.

Here are my observations:

* My kids love the laptop and have no problem using the mouse touch pad, but my mother can not seem to figure it out (we ended up buying everyone Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000 Mac/Win USB).

* The mouse touch pad allows the pointer to drift and jump around on the screen. This seems to be random, but can be annoying (another reason to use an external mouse).

* The screen is VERY clear

* The DVD player is very good and easy for even my mother to use

* The battery life is about 2 hours (long enough for most movies)

* Wi-Fi is very stable

* It is HEAVY!

Not for power users, but recommended for students and casual users.

Why Would ANYONE buy this?
I rarely comment on a product I have not used and tested. But I'm looking for a laptop and came across this unit. I do not understand why anyone would buy a unit that basically tells you nothing about itself. Is there a DVD drive? Is there WiFi? Are there USB ports? If so, how many? And on and on.

This is the most poorly described PC I've ever seen. DON"T BUY something that tells you nothing in advance. Certainly not after you reading Amazons "PC - Return" policy.

Decent laptop for the buck
Runs decent, once I uninstalled all the usual crap software and trial nonsense, decent speed, nice overall- the only drawback is that it came maxxed out with 2 gb of ram, would have been nice to beef that up. But for the money, a brand new laptop for the price of most refurbs.

Great Computer at a Good Price
I have owned an Acer laptop for 5 years and never had any problems. There is a series of Acer 5920 laptops covering a wide price range and I have had one for several months. I find it to be a superb computer for my purposes at a good price. The biggest difference between computers in this series is the computing chip used. Although completely satisfactory for most purposes, this particular model is probably a bit slow for gamers. Also the Vista operating system is a memory hog so upgrading to 3 or 4 gigabytes is a good idea. Be sure to register your new computer (of whatever brand) with the manufacturer and keep good hard copy records in case you need support. For what it is worth the 5920 was designed for Acer by BMW. My technical level - very high.

Check ACER's website to be sure if they support this--you'll need it!
Within about three months of purchase, the disc drive on my ACER (similar model, no longer available, purchased at Sears in 9/2007) stopped working, the Vista software no longer prompted me for passwords and shut out the Administrator, and tried to format any device plugged in via USB cable )whether software was installed or not), and within 4 months started running VERY slowly (we're talking at the same speed as my old 128MB RAM Compaq). By the time the computer was 5 months old, it refused to acknowldeg that any backup had been made of the C drive and would not allow disc defragmentation in any mode.

It was also very frustrating having it surrpetitiously decide to change wireless networks; I was regularly dropped and reconnected to nonfunctioning networks.

When I tried contacting the company for help, all I got were canned replies. It probably didn't help that the serial number on the bottom of the computer is printed in such as way that it wears out quickly; since I couldn't provide them with that, ACER wouldn;t even sell me a reboot disc (yep, that's right: You get no safety nets or backup software with this brand!).

Bottom line: You really can't do much worse than ACER!

Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, 2 x 512 MB) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. This notebook has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity (2 x 1 GB). To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: The dual-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents.
Keyboard & Mouse: The keyboard features an inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, 2.5mm minimum key travel, and international language support. It also offers a touchpad with four-way integrated scroll button, WLAN easy launch button, volume adjustment wheel, and independent US dollar and Euro sign keys.

It's a good product vs price
I don't have a problem with this Laptop

Pros: Good processor and ard disk vs price, good resolution, good wireless, DVD Burner.

Cons: Not have bluetooth.

Love my Acer
I was wary when I had so much trouble with my cursor jumping all around. It was a setting. I also had a time when my camera card slot stopped working. But I emailed Acer both times and within 24h (by the next time I set down, I needed to walk away anyway) the answer was in my inbox. Simple instructions about how to use the recovery and restore button for reinstalling a driver, fast and easy.
I have never updated any software or computer without having to learn or do something, so I was okay with this.
It is lightweight, doesn't get overly warm, nice screen, Vista was not that big of a deal (coming from XP), and economical.
The biggest headache was having to upgrade software I was using with XP to use Vista. (Not an Acer problem). I ended up returning Microsoft Office and purchasing Open Office online for $11. You just use "save as XP doc" or whatever you want. Although it says if may change formatting, it didn't change at all. Great alternative!!!!! Some software did transfer, some didn't.

whats with the price diff?
The first time I saw this lap top I knew I had to have it. So I decided to shop around to find a good price. I want a lot of things. But I am no big spender. I used to think that Amazon had everyone licked on prices. I mean I have bought so much stuff from these people, I should take stock in the company. (If the market was not so bad right now). But the thing that shocked me the most was how much it cost here on Amazon. Amazon is charging a whopping $999.83. And the cheapest I found was $749.96 at circuit city. Now I'm not ragging on Amazon in the slightest. You see, you always take your chances buying anything at Circuit City. They have a tendency to never stand behind what they sell. So if they sell you a lemon... good luck getting your money back. I have even found a simple exchange impossible with those people. So I am having a hard time deciding on going the cheaper, dark, goul creaping low road and going with Circuit City or taking my chances with paying more @ Amazon and finding out that they are just as bad as CC. I don't know if I want to know. I like doing business with Amazon. But I'm not rich either.

An amazing looking and functional laptop for the price
I agree with TARA T who reviewed this item also. She hits all of the great things about this laptop. Here are a few more:
The wireless has a/g/N capabilities. Built-in web cam. NICE STYLE - no other laptop looks like it! The unit is light for having a 16 inch screen - only 7.5 lbs. Duo core 2.0! 4GB of ram makes a huge difference. For less than $700 you can't go wrong. Voice recognition is really cool - you can control the laptop just by talking to it. It is very nice if you don't like to type in Word. I love the look of this thing. It is so Trek like! The feel of the checkered palm rest is nice and the touch pad blends in. The touch pad has a scroll bar on it too!
Here is what I have not liked so far:
The laptop has really nice blue lights. However, you can't turn them off and if you leave your laptop plugged in they stay on. So, you must unplug the laptop to get the lights off. Very odd. Also, there is a Bluetooth button but the laptop does NOT have Bluetooth. I had to purchase a USB BT adapter separately. The finger print reader is useless. There is a lot of plastic on this thing. It attracts hair and dust and feels a bit cheap. I hope it lasts. Also, you can't open the laptop with one hand. Though there is no latch it is very difficult to open the hood, so to say, with one hand. Vista is horrible. It took forever to update and it is so complex. I couldn't imagine anyone who is not computer savvy to just pick up Vista and go.
Overall I love this computer and hope it lasts forever! It replaced my Vaio that costs me $2000 six years ago and has nothing even comparable specs wise. How things change........

Lot of laptop for the money
I bought the Acer Aspire 6920 after looking at several laptops. I was instantly drawn to the great styling, bright, wide 16" screen, plus the 4 gigs of RAM and Vista Home Premium 64-bit and the price was right: $700 after $50 rebate (that I received). This laptop is setup for movies, but is capable in other areas as well, including gaming (though don't expect high graphic settings in the latest games) and wireless internet. I was on the internet a few seconds after setting up Vista (that took about 20 mins).

The Acer 6920 has a touch pad, called Media Console (besides the normal mouse touch pad), that controls whatever audio or video is playing. You can control the volume, chapters in a movie, start, stop, pause, etc. with the touch of your finger. At first, I thought this was just a redundancy of what you can do on the screen, but have found it very useful. Instead of moving the mouse cursor and clicking on start, stop, pause, etc. all you have to do is touch the Media Console icons which is much quicker.

There's a built-in web cam, lots of USB ports and a DL DVD writer. I particularly like the 'pebbled' touchpad that I find easier to use than the smooth type, though this is personal preference. The sound is adequate, but nothing to write home about. Even though it's supposed to have a built-in subwoofer and I've made sure it's on I can't hear any deep bass notes (though I'd imagine it would be hard to fit a subwoofer in the confines of a laptop).

Something that excited and somewhat concerned me was the 64-bit operating system. Though I knew a 64-bit OS was better than 32-bit (like the difference between a two-lane and four-lane highway) and Vista 64-bit was supposed to be backwards compatible with 32-bit programs, I found some software will not run. Though there was more SW that would run than wouldn't and there was nothing I 'had to have' that wouldn't run.

The Acer Aspire 6920 is a fine, capable laptop and for $700, or less, a good deal.

excellent for what it is
i am writing this review from this machine, using a wireless connection while i am on the go. it's exactly what it was meant to do. it's not for heavy computing of course, but for email, web browsing, etc, it's perfect. SO portable, comes with a little sleeve, the color is less cotton candy than i expected so i was pleasantly surprised. (i chose pink because at the time it seemed to be the one in stock at best price). keyboard slightly smaller than normal one so takes minor adjustment. no problems picking up internet, wireless and my home dsl wired connection. i haven't yet tried any spreadsheets or documents but will do. i loaded a lot of photos, some mp3's and some videos and no problem with anything. the sd card reader is also handy because i can pull the card from my cell phone or camera on the run.
if you are looking for exactly this, internet, email and basic computing on the run without having some tiny thing in the palm of your hand, but not schlepping around a heavy notebook--this is perfect for you!!! it's inexpensive and decent quality. happy with battery life so far too.
OH almost forgot, the webcam is a nice little bonus too. i'm always snapping pics with camera/phone and here's another easy way to take pics and wirelessly upload to share the moment.

Great little laptop!
I received my Acer Aspire One just about a week ago, and I'm hooked!

PROS: It really is amazing how small it is. I can fit it into my purse and I forget it's there. The battery life is very convenient (5.5 hours, so I don't have to carry cables around), and the video quality is very good. I have streamed TV episodes and watched iTunes videos, and it works great. Also, there is so much space on the hard drive that I can fill it up with music and movies with no problem. The built-in camera and mic work well with Skype. Also, just as a side note, as a woman, I am glad to finally have a feminine looking piece of electronics. The pink color is subdued and not at all inappropriate for professional use. There are other colors, though: black, brown, white, and blue.

CONS: The keyboard is quite small, so you need to have small hands. You can get used to it, though. With just a little practice, I am already typing away very quickly with only a few errors. The mouse buttons are placed on the side and are inconvenient, so I just use tapping and that takes care of that problem. The case that came with it doesn't afford much protection, but there are a few options online that can fit this model.

Overall, it is a great choice for a second laptop, and it lives up to the hype. You can't get any more mobile and affordable than this with this kind of quality and capacity. I am very happy with this purchase.

perfect for me
Got mine last Friday as a second laptop. Use it for 2 days, and everything is fine.

This cute little pink netbook is perfect for me.
Checking Emails, MSN, youtube, movie and music, some simple word processing( writing my final project report)...
The speaker is clear and load enough,keys are nearly full size, VGA camera works fine, as light as many of my textbooks, and even forget that it was in my purse when I was carrying it.

People may complain the screen is way too small, but I think it is enough for the aforementioned simple tasks.

The speed for web is a little bit slow, it is still bearable for me.

Never try to open a file on your USB drive directly, it took me forever to open it. The best way is to transfer to the hard drive and then open it...I don't know why

The most important thing is that it is the cutest and most lovely computer I have ever seen, and just for less then [...]

Great little helper
I guess this sweet little machine won't do you any good if you'd like to manage the NASA or direct satellites from it, but for someone who basically watches movies, uses Office and surfs the net, it's just perfect. Comfortable, fits in your bags, so people would hardly suspect you are carrying a laptop, and works like a charm.

Maybe the only downsides are the sound: it's either too look for some vids, or too "squarrelly", however, unless you are a DJ or a melomaniac, it's something you can live with. That's why I ain't taking off no star on the account of that.

A Mighty Mite!
Great little computer. Super fast for it's size. Just the right size to take along on business trip, keeping in touch, communicating! I am very satisfied. Use it daily. Surf the net, work, does it all in a neat compact notebook! Just one drawback I have found. The battery life is only 2 hours so need to plug in if you are on it any length of time. Of course, that is no big deal. I love it!

Amazon.com Product Description
An affordable ultra-lightweight mobile Internet device, the Acer Aspire One weighs just over 2 pounds and is perfect for toting in a backpack or bag. The smooth surface is comfortable to touch, and the notebook is accented with distinctive details, such as the attractive orange hinge ring. It has a vibrant 8.9-inch CrystalBrite WSVGA LED backlit display, integrated webcam for easy video chatting, an instant-on feature that powers up the notebook in less than 15 seconds from when you switch it on, and Intel's latest mobile processor--the Atom. This model of the Aspire One (LU.S020A.012) comes in seashell white, and offers the easy-to-use Linpus Linux Lite operating system and 8 GB of solid-state NAND flash memory.

Weighing just 2.17 pounds, the stylish Acer Aspire One goes anywhere with you.

Perfect for students, this Aspire One model comes with 8 GB of storage space, expansion via SD and Memory Stick media, and integrated Wi-Fi.

The integrated webcam at the top of the screen's bezel provides easy access to video chatting.

Designed especially for mobile devices, the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet--up to 3 hours with the included 3-cell battery. Other features include 512 MB of installed RAM (1.5 GB maximum), 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), multi-format memory card reader, multiple USB ports, and built-in email, web browsing, and digital media applications.

With the Linpus Linux Lite operating system, Acer has improved the user experience by designing a friendly, easy-to-use and comprehensive interface utilizing a more natural approach to screen layout and functionality. Even novice users will be able to quickly pick up on this intuitive, virus-safe and super-responsive Linux environment. With its simple, easy-to-read interface, you'll have no trouble finding and sharing your files. And if you run out of storage space, the Aspire One's Smart File Manager instantly and seamlessly merges extra storage capacity from any SD card inserted into the memory card slot into the available main memory.

The Aspire One is great for getting things done, whether checking email, managing online accounts or chatting with friends. The pre-installed software is separated by functions and presented in four distinct areas on the Home screen--Connect, Works, Fun and Files. Each area has space for three applications, and you can easily personalize the applications.

The Aspire One Mail software suite lets you manage up to six email accounts with a single application interface, including office accounts. A small icon to the right of the message quickly and clearly shows the appropriate mail account. Nothing could be simpler to replace push e-mail services without using a corporate server. The Aspire One uses Messenger for Instant Messaging, an application that allows users to simultaneously access Skype, Microsoft Messenger and various other instant messaging services. The software can be used with the integrated video camera for instant video-chats and video conferences. The Mozilla Firefox web browser is optimized for the most popular web sites, and it supports full video streaming capabilities.

Whether you need to write, calculate or present, the Aspire One has everything under control. The Writer program is a fully functional word processing applicatnoi that is compatible with Microsoft Word, allowing you to open and save files directly in the .doc format. The intuitive spreadsheet application makes both newcomers and advanced users feel right at home. And you can create stunning multimedia presentations, complete with 3D clip art, special effects, animation, and special drawing tools.

Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with 8 GB of NAND flash memory solid-state drive (SSD), which is adequate for students and those who want to use the laptop primarily as an email and web surfing device. Faster and more reliable, flash memory provides a rapid boot-up and quicker access to applications while improving battery life. Flash memory is also more reliable than hard disk memory, mainly because there are no moving parts. Since data is written to stationary flash memory instead of a spinning hard disk, you have less risk of hardware problems with the hard disk when you're on the move. It's an ideal feature for a travel notebook where knocks and sudden movements are par for the course.

In addition, the Aspire One reads five different types of memory cards--Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card--for maximum flexibility. The additional SD card slot seamlessly integrates with the internal NAND flash module as an added storage device. The ability to have both a multi-in-1 card reader and a SD card reader at the same time allows you to download photos from the multi-in-1 to share with others and store to the SD card as an internal storage device simultaneously.

Memory
The 512 MB of installed RAM (1 x 512 MB, PC2-5300) offers a 667 MHz speed. This notebook can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM,

Connectivity
This Acer Aspire One notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. This notbook provides the following connections:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
Secure Digital (SD) card reader, also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMCs)
Multi-in-one card reader supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO, and XD Picture Cards
1 VGA monitor port
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
RJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection
56K modem port (V.90)

Screen, Video and Audio
The 8.9-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments.

This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers.

What's in the Box
This package contains the Acer Aspire One notebook PC (AOA110-1295; LU.S020A.012), rechargeable 3-cell lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It is backed by a limited warranty for parts and labor for one year from date of purchase.

Very Good
I purchased an Acer Aspire One (Sapphire Blue) a few days ago.
It is working fine .The webcam is okay too, and the display
is just surprising
With 1GB of Ram and a 160 GB Hard Drive it has adequate speed
and storage space.
I upgraded to Windows Media player 11 with no problems at all.
My only problem is that I purchased the 3 cell battery version
and the battery lasts only 2 to 3 hours.
I should heeded advice of other reviewers
I am considering acquiring a 6 cell or 9 cell replacement
battery.

a question re. hard drive.
I bought a new acer AOA150-1570 from staples abought 3 weeks ago and am delighted with it.I paid $349.+the salesman convinced me to buy extended 2year warrantee$24!..I decided to buy one in White for my 14 year old daughter for xmas and searched for one at the best price.I expect delivery in a couple of days from C.D.W.where it cost $299 + ship and insure $35.
Now I am panicking as I realise that this new item is described to only have 8 gigs of hard drive!Am I stuck with a problem with such a small H.D.
Thanks for any info.J.K.

great little comp
hello,

let me say i bought the acer for my daughter for her 8th birthday. it is perfect for her. great machine with good wifi. she loves it.
here is why i give 4 stars:
cons:
keyboard is tiny. it is very hard to get used to. if i had bought this for myself i would have to send it back. but it is for an 8 year old. and the keybooard size is perfect for her small hands.'
the wifi is pretty slow comparing to mine. however, comparing to anything from 5 years ago, it is quick.
besides the keyboard keys being small the configurationof the keys is different than normal. In am assuming that it is in the order it is to be able to put everything on one tiny space.
pros:
I have not ever heard this fan everyoe complains about.
this comp is completely portable.
ultra fast load up
runs on XP!
perfect for small hands
easy to use
easy to set up

Personally I could not use this simply because of the keyboard. but all other aspects are great.

this machine is perfect for kids.

Excellent little machine for the money!!
I love this little guy!!! It's very portable and works like a charm. Looks like XP, feels like XP ... guess what? It is XP!! I will be doing some travelling and can't wait to take it on the road with me. It's tiny but the keyboard feels like a "normal" keyboard. The screen is sharp and clear and the battery life(6 cell) is excellent!! Wireless works great too!! Plenty of space with the 160G HD. WOW!! Did I mention ... I love this little guy!!!

Great little machine
The Acer Aspire 8.9 inch laptop is one great little machine. I have operated it for 3 months. I have taken it all over Europe and have had no problems with connecting to any internet server. I especially like the multi voltage battery charger that comes with the computer. All you need is plug adapter. After caring around a E machines 15.4" that weighs in with charger and voltage adapter 11 pounds this is a dream. I have found that the speed of the machine is a little slower then the the big one but is not a deal dropper. Screen graphics are great. The mouse is a little too sensitive for my heavy fingers but again not a deal breaker. I use the machine for emails and photo storage, the memory is fantastic. I used an external cd drive to down load programs I need for work and it works great.

Over all this is one huge bang for the bucks. can't beat for size, weight, memory and price

EXCELLENT BUY

Customer Reviews

I Love This Notebook!
Pros:
1. Very light and very compact. This makes it very comfortable while laying down versus my heavy 15.4" notebook.
2. It is very cool even when plugged in! This is the first notebook I ever used that I didn't notice any heating on my lap.
3. The battery life is amazing! I get at least five hours of charge no matter what I am doing with it.
4. The screen looks incredible! I love the brightness and resolution on it.
5. The two SD slots are very useful especially for SDIO.
6. Amazing Price!

Cons: (I'm being picky here, I really do love this notebook.)
1. The keyboard seems to be too flimsy. Just like on another notebook I've owned, the left and right areas of the keyboard bends slightly when you push a button in that area.
2. The touchpad and keyboard took some time getting used to. I had to mess with the touchpad settings in order for it to respond the way I wanted. The keyboard has a slightly awkward layout.
3. The wireless switch button seems loose.
4. It comes with software that I had to uninstall. I'd recommend removing software you wont use to maximize your performance.

Other Thoughts:
As another reviewer pointed out, this notebook isn't a good main computer unless you do a few things. The screensize is small and if I were to sit at a desk in my house, I would want a bigger monitor. This notebook has a VGA out so you can use one in this situation. There isn't a DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive so it is difficult to install applications. If you want to use this as a main computer, I'd highly suggest you buy an external USB DVD-ROM drive. When I want to install applications from a CD or DVD, I use my main computer's DVD-ROM drive as a shared network drive.

Acer Aspire One 8.9-n270
Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White is best but not best of the best because its price is still high compare to other laptop that has already completed with Kortu Duo and DVD super multi. However, it the price can be reduced until $300, Yes! it will be best of the best among the same type of the laptops.
Thanks,

Abdus

Great as a second computer
This is a great laptop. But since it doesn't have a CD drive, and it has a tiny screen, it isn't the best choice as the only computer.
If you have a desktop or another laptop, this is a great portable addition. However, I do not suggest it as the only computer in the household.
I walk a few miles each day to school, so this is great because it doesn't cause strain on my back or shoulders. But I could not stand using the tiny screen when watching movies, playing games, or using late at night.
If you are a college or high school kid, this laptop is great. If you are someone who takes public transportation, this is a great option. But if you want to play recent games with great graphics or own only one computer, you should look for a larger more powerful laptop. (Another solution to the screen size problem is to buy a monitor and hook it up to the netbook.)
Also, don't waste money on a specialty netbook case. Just buy a portable 8.9 inch DVD player case, it works just as well and fits the extended battery on this model.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The new Eee PC 900HA offers you more options for your mobile computing needs, providing the power of a full-sized laptop--with the latest Intel mobile processor and a 160 GB hard drive--in a compact body with an 8.9-inch screen. Designed specifically for mobile devices, the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet. Coupled with the ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine, you'll also enjoy up to 5 hours of battery life with this Windows-powered laptop.

The Asus Eee PC 900's 8.9-inch screen is easier on the eyes, and the integrated webcam makes video chats a snap.

Much more compact than a standard-sized notebook and weighing just 2.5 pounds, the Eee PC 900HA is perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. In addition to the 160 GB hard disk drive (HDD), the Eee PC 900HA also features 1 GB of RAM, VGA-resolution webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, SD memory card slot, a VGA output for connecting to a monitor, and up to 10 GB of online storage (complimentary for 18 months).

For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the Eee PC's combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution. The keyboard is 95 percent the size of standard notebooks, making it more comfortable to type for larger hands.

It's also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that's great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

Nicely light at just 40 ounces (2.5 pounds), the Eee PC 900HA has an 8.9-inch wide TFT LCD with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution (WXGA)--making it more comfortable on eyes than its predecessor. In addition to its 54g wireless LAN (802.11b/g), it also offers wired Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity and a 56K modem. You get three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA output for connecting to external monitors, headphone and microphone jacks, and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot (compatible with MMC memory cards). It's equipped with a 0.3-megapixel webcam (placed in the bezel above the LCD) and integrated microphone, allowing you to snap still photos of yourself while on the go for sending via email or join video chats with friends and family.

Battery-Sipping Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Together with the exclusive ASUS Super Hybrid Engine, you'll enjoy a longer battery lifespan of up to 7 hours, allowing you to stay in touch and be connected for a longer period of time while on-the-go. It offers a choice of performance and power consumption modes for easy adjustments according to your computing needs. The Super Hybrid Engine toggles between the following three modes:

High Performance Mode (high performance with some power savings)
Super Performance Mode (maximum performance)
Power Saving Mode (maximum power savings and minimum noise)

Online Storage from ASUS
With this Eee PC, ASUS also provides 10 GB of online storage (easily accessible via a desktop icon), which enables you to download up to 5 GB of data per day. It also provides secure file encryption and accessibility from both Windows and Linux platforms. Whether you want to share images with friends and family or store big business presentations, you can now access your data with ease and not worry about space constraints. The Eee Storage service is complimentary for the first 18 months, and it must be registered within the first 6 months after date of purchase.

Customer Reviews

ASUS laptop
Received my purchase quickly and I love this laptop. It is easy to use and so light.

My first PC
My iBook died and this netbook cost less than the repairs, so I decided to give it a shot. I've been a Mac person all my life, starting with the Apple II+, but the price of this was crazy. I've had it for two weeks now, and except for the keyboard (which everyone has mentioned, but which I eventually got used to), it's as powerful and as fast as my iMac desktop. The battery only lasts 3 hours, though. And I don't like Windows (compared to the Mac OS), but it's adequate. For some reason Amazon dropped the price to $319 for two days, so that's how much I paid...

The perfect netbook (at the moment)
I have 0 complaints. Perfect weight, size, and specs. I upgraded the memory to 2GB. I am dual booting windows with ubuntu-eee. Battery life seems good (3-4 hrs I think, haven't timed it). The next step up is the 1000-series, but those are heavier and have a bigger footprint.

Amazon.com Product Description
The updated chassis with sleek piano black paneling and components is far from the most significant improvements in the multimedia powerhouse HP Pavilion Elite m9040n desktop PC. It's powered by Intel's newest processor--the Viiv-enabled 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600--which delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor for unprecedented performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business/home environments. You can also go wireless and clutter-free with wireless keyboard, mouse, and remote control, and it includes a built-in wireless antenna for 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g).

You can watch, record, and pause live TV programming as well as schedule the PC to record upcoming episodes or entire series. The built-in TV tuner (providing both standard NTSC and high-def ATSC transmission) and personal video recorder (PVR) let you watch, pause, rewind, and record live television--up to 395 hours on the dual 320 GB hard drives (for 640 GB of total built-in storage). An online Electronic Program Guide (EPG) lets you review the TV schedule and select individual episodes or entire series, so you can watch your favorite shows on your own time, at your own convenience. And you can easily burn TV shows and home video to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format LightScribe DVD/CD burner (16x for DVD±R), which enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. LightScribe technology burns custom, silkscreen-quality labels and artwork directly onto LightScribe-enabled discs, right inside the drive.

Built-in drive bays fit optional HP Personal Media Drives and Pocket Media Drives, for up to 660 GB of additional storage that you can carry away with you when you go (media drives not included). Other features include 3 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), NVidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics (with 256 MB of dedicated video memory), Gigabit Ethernet, 15-in-1 memory card reader, up to 8 channels of surround sound output, FM tuner, and a remote control with up to 16 feet of range.

This PC also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: With four execution cores, the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies, or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing will change the way you do everything. The Q6600 has a top-of-the-class 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and dual 4 MB L2 caches (for a whopping huge 8 MB shared L2 cache). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
With four complete execution cores in a single processor, you get four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance that enhance multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and work loads. The Smart Memory Access feature improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed. The Advanced Digital Media Boost feature effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications. And with the Intel 64 Architecture, the processor can access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel 64 Architecture can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory.
This processor also includes Intel's Viiv technology, which allows you to quickly turn the PC on and off (after initial boot) with a touch of the included remote thanks to Intel's Quick Resume function. It also offers specially-designed software that makes network configuration easy, for connecting to portable media players, DVD players, TV sets and stereos.
Hard Drive: The incredibly huge 640 GB capacity from the dual 320 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space--enough for storing up to 395 hours of television programming, a vast multimedia collection, or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 3 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, 2 x 1 GB, 2 x 512 MB) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. This desktop has an enormous 8 GB maximum RAM capacity (4 x 2 GB). To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 8x DVD-R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 16x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 12x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R, 32x CD-RW write speeds and 40x CD-ROM, and 16x DVD-ROM read speeds.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with a wireless HP keyboard with extended range (up to 30 feet) and a wireless optical mouse.

Video & Audio
Video is powered by the integrated NVidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics/video card with 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory. Windows Vista can also allocate up to 1535 MB of total graphics memory from the system memory. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Power through games at record speeds with vividly realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects, and crank up 16x full-screen anti-aliasing without missing a beat. The fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs.

The video card includes composite TV out, DVI video out and HDMI audio/video out options. This PC also offers an integrated audio card that can produce high definition surround sound configurable to 8 speakers.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This desktop can be wirelessly networked with the integrated 54g Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g). You also get super-fast wired connectivity via the Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000). For expansion, it includes drive bays that fit an optional HP Personal Media Drive (for adding 500 GB of storage) or an optional HP Pocket Media Drive (for adding 160 GB of storage)--for a total of up to 660 GB of extra storage. For expansion slots, it has one PCI (occupied), two PCI Express x1 (one available), one PCI x16 Express slot (occupied), two 5.25-inch bays (one available), three 3.5-inch bays (one available), and the following external ports:

6 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players (2 in front, 4 in rear)
2 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals (1 in front, 1 in rear)
Composite video, S-Video, and analog audio inputs

Customer Reviews

HP m9080n works great--if it works....
I purchased my HP m9080n tower from Fry's in November 2007, and have used it for business purposes. Initially, it performed spectacularly. Great speed, handled many programs running simultaneously, little or no noise from the tower. NOTE: That's the ONLY reason I've given this machine 2 stars, rather than 0 or 1 star. When it's functioning correctly, it's very good. But, as you'll see below, I cannot rely on it--so what's the point in having it?

In February 2008, the problems began. The computer had had about 2 months of use by then. I'd do a cold boot (turned it on), and when the welcome screen appeared--if it did--there was no way for me to log in. The icons for each user account appeared but didn't respond, and they didn't open a space for me to enter my password.

I tried many possible solutions before taking it back to Fry's, including reinstalling Vista 4 times, using PC Doctor to analyze any hardware problems (it found none). Had to start it in Safe Mode to do these tests, or used F11 to get into system restore mode. Bottom line is that nothing fixed the problem, despite my reformatting the hard drive, reinstalling Vista, and not installing anything else on the machine. Even with that configuration, it still had nonresponsive icons and no login window on booting up.

Finally took it to Fry's, because it was under warranty. They replaced the motherboard at no charge. When I brought the PC back to my office, it was fine for a couple of weeks, and then I started seeing the same symptoms as before: no window to log in, and nonresponsiveness to system restoration.

Took it back to Fry's, asked them to fix it AGAIN. This time they charged me nearly $200 to reinstall Vista, which I had already done mutliple times. Brought it back to the office, and it functioned well for about 2 weeks.

Yesterday, the SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN: when I turned the machine on, I got no login screen, and the user account icons were nonresponsive. But get this--I was so disgusted that I just let the thing sit overnight, with the nonfunctional login screen still there. When I got into the office the next morning, clicked on the icon for my administrator's account, lo and behold--the login window was normal. I was able to log in as usual, in other words. And I hadn't touched the computer since it booted up with no login window the night before.

If anyone has suggestions as to what I can do about this, I'm all ears. I can't tell you how disgusted I am with HP AND Frys'. The computer is still under warranty, but I've read other reviews here that give me no hope that HP will resolve the situation to my satisfaction. In the meantime, I've sunk $2,000 into an unreliable machine that no one seems to know how to fix. Right now, it's more useful as a freaking doorstop.

In all fairness, we have several other HP desktops and notebook computers in my office. In the 3+ years we've had them (running XP or Vista Ultimate), we have had no problems with them. I don't know if this problem is specific to the m9080n or not.

Thanks,

RAID is possible yes
I've read all these responses on M9080N and will it do RAID... the simple answer is yes it will. Here's how.

CAUTION: This will destroy all of your data!!

1. Create system recovery DVDs from Start Menu > Programs > PC Help & Tools > Recovery Disc Creation (you can only do this once per system)
2. Go into the BIOS, find disk settings. HP ship this machine in IDE config, There are 2 more choices there AHCI and RAID. Choose RAID, save and reboot.
3. Hit "Ctrl I" upon boot to enter RAID config
4. Create 1 TB RAID 0 (stripe) or 500 GB RAID 1 (mirror) logical volume.
5. Insert DVD and boot
6. Follow prompts to rebuild system
7. All done

HP seem to not done a perfect job both configuring this system (shipping with BIOS set to IDE) as well as supporting this system (telling customers it does not support RAID). They need to hire a few more rocket scientists and try harder next time.

Same computer as the HP m9150f?
I'm confused as to what the difference is to this HP model, compared to the m9150f. They both have practically identical specifications except for the hard drive space(m9040n=640gb, m9150f=720gb) and the m9150f carries a HD-DVD player, and somehow the m9040n is priced substantially higher. I might have overlooked something when comparing the specs but I can't find the difference. Does anyone know?

Customer service is dreadful
My graphics card on the m9340f has been making noise since shortly after I bought it and HP is still giving me the run-around. This is an otherwise great machine, but I would not recommend buying one, or buying from HP, because I have yet to get this problem solved.

Great computer ... but with issues
The computer is fast, and has all the features i could ever want .. BUT
we noticed that a squeaking/rattling noise would come from the CPU after starting it when the computer was cold. After about 15 seconds, the noise would stop. Two weeks later, the noise would last about 30 seconds and stop.

Called customer support who walked me through the process of taking out the memory cards and clicking them back in. Didn't help. Called them several times. I determined that the noise was coming from a fan on a card. They told me the only way to fix the computer was to send it in. I sent it in for repair.

Besides the noise, the computer has been great. However, it is a big inconvenience to have to send the computer in and wait (2-3 weeks?). Glad I have a laptop as backup.

Would recommend Dell. They'll send someone to your home to repair the computer.

Great specs + cheap price = questionable quality
Great bang for the buck. It it has great specifications for the price. But I think quality might be questionable.

The power supply went bad after one month. The replacement power supply went bad a month later. The noise from the 2nd bad power supply was masking the noise from the bad video card. When the field rep replaced the power supply, we found that the fan on the video card had also gone bad. I would factor in the additional cost of an extended warranty when making price comparisons.

Luckily I had purchased the extended on-site warranty. The on-site warranty prevented me from hauling the pc to a shop or mailing it to HP. Let me say this about the on-site extended warranty; diagnostic service is not on-site. Diagnostic service is performed by you talking to a support rep over the phone. Even if you purchased the on-site warranty, HP can still require the end user (you) to replace parts. So, If you are afraid or don't want to open up the PC, you might want to avoid HP. I'm not sure if that is common for other PC makers or not.

I do a lot of photo editing, some video editing and it handles these tasks with no problem. I really do like this PC. Big hard drive, big memory, good cpu. I hope I'm past the quality problems.

Also, CISCO dosen't yet make a VPN client for the 64 bit VISTA operating systems.

It also features 3 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), NVidia GeForce 6150 LE video card (with 128 MB of dedicated video memory), 15-in-1 memory card reader, up to 8 channels of surround sound output, and a remote control with up to 16 feet of range.

The Basics

Processor: AMD's Athlon 64 X2 6000+ dual-core processor is built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. It outperforms the highest-performing AMD Athlon 64 4000+ single-core processor on multi-tasking benchmarks by up to 30 percent. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts will appreciate the enhancements while simultaneously working in high-definition video and photo editing and audio mixing programs. It includes such AMD features as HyperTransport Technology (which increases the communication between integrated circuits) and Enhanced Virus Protection.
This 3.0 GHz processor offers a system bus with speeds up to a blazing 2000 MHz and each core offers a 1 MB L2 cache--for a 2 MB total. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
Hard Drive: The incredibly huge 500 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space--enough for storing up to 305 hours of television programming, a vast multimedia collection, or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 3 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, 2 x 1 GB, 2 x 512 MB) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software. It also offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. This desktop has an enormous 8 GB maximum RAM capacity (4 x 2 GB). To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 8x DVD-R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 16x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 12x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R, 32x CD-RW write speeds and 40x CD-ROM, and 16x DVD-ROM read speeds.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with an HP multimedia keyboard and scroller mouse (both PS/2) and remote control.

Video & Audio
This desktop features an integrated NVidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics/video card with 128 MB of dedicated graphics memory. Windows Vista can also allocate up to 623 MB of total graphics memory from the system memory. It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications. It also offers an integrated audio card that can produce high definition surround sound configurable to 8 speakers.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
For expansion, this desktop features a drive bay that fits an optional HP Personal Media Drive--which enables you to add 500 GB of storage for your video and music libraries. It has two PCI expansion slots (none available), one PCI x16 Express slot (available), one PCI x1 Express slot (available), two 5.25-inch bays (one available), three 3.5-inch bays (two available), and the following external ports:

6 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players (2 in front, 4 in rear)

Customer Reviews

Used to build my computers
I bought my first computer from a local PC shop around AMD K-166/200/233 days. Before that I had hand-me-downs. After that (for 10 years) I built my own so I could get the class of component that I wanted. This year I've bought two ready built systems including this one. So far I'm pretty satisfied with the HP but I've not been able to try everything out. I did add a DVI capable video card since it comes only with an onboard VGA.
No goofiness to Vista and I did install SP1 a couple of weeks ago. The TV and DVD capabilities have had no glitches.
A good home PC.

Very pleased--great deal
Bought this at an office supply box store in December 07--with the rebates it was a great deal. (Was $400 more if ordered from HP as a custom built.) No problems since then--not even any problems with Vista to my great surprise!

Added an 8500GT video card (connected to a Samsung LCD via DVI) and a 500W power supply (the original power supply is pathetic--I would not add anything the box without a new power supply--it is marginal--typical of most prepackaged computers of any brand.)

Had to call HP customer service once for a problem with one of the preinstalled software packages--service was excellent.

This is my first HP and I would recommend it. (I also own Dell and Lenovo.)

HP Does not honor committments
I've just had the worst experience I have ever had with tech support for any company I have ever dealt with. I bought an In-Home service plan, which HP support "couldn't find". So my computer was not working for 2 months when I had paid for a plan that guaranteed service within 3 business days. I've taken this all the way to the CEO...answer: Too bad, we're sorry but we cannot compensate you in any way. DON'T EVER BUY AN HP SERVICE PLAN...BETTER YET DON'T BUY HP PRODUCTS PERIOD!

Amazon.com Product Description
The updated chassis with sleek piano black paneling and components is far from the most significant improvements in the multimedia powerhouse HP Pavilion Elite m9250f desktop PC. It's powered by Intel's 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700, which delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor for unprecedented performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business/home environments.

You can watch, record, and pause live TV programming as well as schedule the PC to record upcoming episodes or entire series. The built-in TV tuner (providing both standard NTSC and high-def ATSC transmission) and personal video recorder (PVR) let you watch, pause, rewind, and record live television--up to 635 hours on the dual 500 GB hard drives (for 1 TB of total built-in storage). An online Electronic Program Guide (EPG) lets you review the TV schedule and select individual episodes or entire series, so you can watch your favorite shows on your own time, at your own convenience.

The pre-installed 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1) includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Processor: With four execution cores, the 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6700 blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Whether you're creating multimedia, annihilating your gaming enemies, or running compute-intensive applications at one time, new quad-core processing will change the way you do everything. The Q6700 has a top-of-the-class 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and dual 4 MB L2 caches (for a whopping huge 8 MB shared L2 cache). (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
With four complete execution cores in a single processor, you get four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance that enhance multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and work loads. The Smart Memory Access feature improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed. The Advanced Digital Media Boost feature effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications. And with the Intel 64 Architecture, the processor can access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel 64 Architecture can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory.
Hard Drive: The incredibly huge 1000 GB (1 TB) capacity from the dual 500 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space--enough for storing up to 600 hours of television programming, a vast multimedia collection, or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
Memory: The 4 GB of installed RAM (PC2-6400, 4 x 1 GB) will get you moving, but this desktop has room enough for 8 GB of RAM (4 x 2 GB) to speed along your multimedia and gaming applications. It also offers a top-of-the-line 800 MHz speed. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 8x DVD-R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 16x DVD-R, 6x DVD-RW, 12x DVD-RAM, 40x CD-R, 32x CD-RW write speeds and 40x CD-ROM, and 16x DVD-ROM read speeds.
This LightScribe DVD±RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.
Keyboard & Mouse: This desktop comes with a wireless HP keyboard with extended range (up to 16 feet) and a wireless optical mouse.

Video & Audio
Video is powered by the integrated, SLI-ready NVidia GeForce 8600 GT graphics/video card with 512 MB of dedicated DDR2 graphics memory. Windows Vista can also allocate up to 1791 MB of total graphics memory from the system memory. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Power through games at record speeds with vividly realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects, and crank up 16x full-screen anti-aliasing without missing a beat. The fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs. And NVidia's SLI technology delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel.

6 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players (2 in front, 4 in rear)

Blue Ray & HD DVD copy protected, so don't belive the hype!
hi, anyone having trouble playing the Blue-Ray AND HD dvd player? it keeps telling me "content protected" the content is not allowed to play in the current display mode. When I put in ANY regular DVD & it plays without any problems. The advertising is SO misleading! I really regret HP Pavilion Elite M9280f. There is NOTHING ELITE about it.

This desktop is junk
I bout this about 5 months ago, I've download songs off the internet, and other games.

But some of the game it has problems with Like "Age Of Empires 3" I even download that patch from www.agecommunity.com this only worked for 1 day. Then I had problem starting my computer up, and i had to restore it, now It's not accepting DVD'S. I don't know what is wrong with it, but it has a problem with software. Also it was making funny click type noises after I downloaded "Age of Empires 3".

Great HP computer
Typing on this awesome computer right now. Purchased it for $1100 and it was a real steal. Listed now for between 1600 and 1990, I definitely recommend buying this item. DO NOT BUY THE DESKTOP SERVICE PLAN!! I cancelled after getting the warranty information and it about gave me a heart attack trying to get the refund. This has been a super computer with absolutely NO problems and the picture on the combined HP monitor, HP w2207h, for an additonal 300 bucks is fantastic. I definitely recommend this!! Good luck.

Customer Reviews

Great Product, with a few upgrades
The HP Windows home server is a great product that simplifies home computer backups, access and anti-virus protection. One thing that is needed on this unit is more memory and a faster processor. This is a great solution for home users. It is a very quite pc with very low power consumption.

Another dead on arrival
Unfortunately this one arrived with 4 red lights on the hard drive bays, like the 2007 Christmas review. I heard it is possibly a problem with the memory, according to one tech. HP support said to return it to the seller, who is trying to brush me off to HP. I am forced to try the Amazon A to Z guarantee, unless I want to settle for a refurbished server at a new server price. Meanwhile my hard drives are filling up; I really need this type of solution. If the seller (TheFactoryDepot) gives me what I paid for, or my money back, I might upgrade my review based on more experience with the product.

Does just what i want it to
Works great, quiet. Bought with 2 640GB Seagate drives, which are cooler, quieter and less likely to die than the largest ones. I use the homeserver with Adobe Lightroom - I've redirected my Photos folder to the Server so that everything I do is backed up immediately, and i don't have to use 80+GB on my laptop for my photos.

Defective out of the box - poor customer support.
In terms of speed, the computer is fine. However, I won't bore you with a long review but instead list my gripes with this system which explains why I will not buy another HP again:

1) For $1,200.00 you should have two DVD drives, not one. I was aware of this when I bought it and I have an additional external drive that I use, but for this price, you should have two installed on the machine.

2) Out of the box, my media card reader was completely dead (defective). Now, we use HP computers at work, and out of 8 machines, 5 of them have had issues with their media card readers either right out of the box, or within a short time of using the machines. For a $300 computer you could almost understand it, but again, for $1,200.00 you'd expect the m9450f to at least have a WORKING card reader when you open it.

3) Support. In order to discuss the issues with the card reader I was on hold for over one hour and twenty minutes, only to get someone who speaks English *maybe* as their third language. NOT acceptable. The problem was not resolved. I'm using a store-bought external media card reader - on a $1,200.00 machine.

I was in need of a good graphics-capable system quickly due to work I'm doing at home, and Dell was going to take too long to build/ship a system I configured. Costco/Sams didn't have high enough systems on the shelf, so I found the m9450f at my local Microcenter in stock. While the specs are fine overall for the price, and it is speedy in terms of processing power, there is just no excuse for out of box defective issues, and such incredibly poor customer service from any company.

After having spent days getting the system up to par (before this defect was discovered), I'm not going to return it, but it will be the last HP I take a chance on.

Great, superfast computer for an amazing price
I recently purchased this computer and am extremely pleased with its high speed performance. Great for film editing as well as many other functions. It's lightening fast and has an incredible 8GB Ram, large 750 GB (actually 686GB) hard drive as well as a superfast processor.

For the price, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal.

Generally positive
Worked well out of the box, better when I got rid of the garbage software, games, etc., that comes with all HP computers. My purpose was to run graphics programs, Photoshop, Lightroom quickly and well. It does that superbly; the fastest PC I have used. A bonus is that the computer case is very quiet, with no audible fan noise during normal operation. The various slots for insertion of HP's proprietary removable drives are of no value to me. Most of us would want a transportable drive to be useable on any other PC, not just another HP PC. My biggest gripe is the lack of a disk to reinstall the operating system or portions of it separately if needed. The built in push-one-button backup system using Microsoft's backup program is also pretty useless because one cannot restore a particular file from the backup. It's all or none.
