I have an Acer Aspire netbook and I LOVE it. I do all my schoolwork on it (I'm doing a dual degree Accounting B.S. and MBA program with lots and lots of work). I use it to surf the internet, it handles large amounts of data in excel (although that can make it slow down sometimes), has no problems with word, etc.
The only problem I've run into with my netbook is that you cannot overtax it by opening too many things. It also has a slight difficulty streaming large files.
The big differences I've encountered between my Acer laptop and my Acer netbook is the RAM and the fact that the netbook doesn't have a CD drive. Laptops have more RAM, that is what allows them to run so many processes or things with heavy graphic content (e.g. games). Other than that the specs between my laptop and my netbook are virtually the same (e.g. hard drive space, wireless, card readers, USB capabilities, etc.)
I love Acer as a brand, just throwing that out there. Hope this helps! |
Great info, thank you
! Very helpful. I have been reading really great stuff about Acer as I've been researching and looking around, so I'm happy to read of your experience. The 1830 I'm looking at has 4GB RAM, so I'm hoping it'll be okay for me...luckily, I can return it.
Do you play WOW? Omg, hubby is obSESSed with that game. Apparently, there was some huge update to the game a couple weeks ago, and you'd have thought something was invented that was on par with the wheel
