Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
So I was looking for months for a laptop that had everythingAnd let me start of by saying .. that .. this litte beast is it. dedicated memory .. 640gb HDD ... 6gb ram ... and at 750 US ... it's a steal of a dealwhile I admit the regular acer line is crap .. the timeline x models have shown to be a bit more reliable. being a dedicated DELL man most of my life, i took a chance and was not disappointed. there is one drawback that isn't mentioned in the product specs, is that the battery isn't removeable, but I will admit battery life is pretty kickass though and honestly .. who really does need to remove the battery, I mean .. really the dolby home theater v4 it comes with is pretty damn awesome as well and it plays most audio pretty clearly and loud enough. so in closing i have to say its a pretty good deal and i don't regret it one bit! and the shipper sent it on time n' everything as well so kudos to that as welli'll keep you all posted if there are any further hecklings with the machine!
