Score 7.0/10

Good points:: The weight and size of the product is just right for me and someone who wants something that is easy to carry around. The battery life is also quite good, only have to charge it twice a day if I use it often in the day.
Bad points:: The design is a bit too plain.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: I'm no computer genius but I do have to use them a lot and this one is perfect. Its battery lasts for ages, even when watching films or listening to music. The screen is pretty big and the keyboard is great but the whole thing is thin and pretty light in weight so it's very good for using while travelling.
Bad points:: The only thing that isn't great about this computer is that its speakers are really quite lame. Although it claims to have virtual surround sound, this is quite some exaggeration. I don't really care about sound quality and most of the time I use head phones or plug in better speakers. Even so, this really is the only problem - I'd recommend it to anyone and I know others who have it and they'd say the same.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Long battery life make things so easy - no need to take the charger even for a whole day, more or less.
Bad points:: It's light, but not the lightest 'in the class'. Only a score of 9.

For some reason or other, it takes a long time to load large ordinary Word docs, but this might be the anti-virus software or something

Good points:: - Impressive Performance with most programmes running instantaneously without problem

- Transportable, I keep this in my rucksack always and use it for University lectures.

- The instant on feature is a big improvement for Acer.
Bad points:: - Battery life deteriorates quickly and never 8 hours.

- Built in speakers do not provide "surround sound"

- Mouse pad sometimes unresponsive/oversensitive
