Customer Reviews

Great laptop - as long as your hard drive doesn't die
Much has been said in other reviews of this laptops looks and features. It's all true - it looks good and runs well. I even like the keyboard - I don't believe to be cheap/spongy as mentioned in another review.
Battery life is OK - but you'll get much less than the two hours mentioned in other reviews if you do anything more than look at the nice bright display. I typically get just over an hour in active use.
I do have one niggle with the machine - and that is the rather noisy fan that kicks in as soon as you ask the machine to do anything other than idle. It's not too loud, but the constant starting and stopping of the fan does become quite irritating. (Contrast with the HP laptop I use for work which is silent all day.)
Where this machine really falls down is the fact that it is not supplied with a Windows installation disk; you must burn recovery discs from a hidden partition on the primary disk. However, these recovery disks are not bootable and therefore will not allow you to re-install Windows to a replacement disk if the original disk fails outside warranty. Acer do SELL bootable recovery discs for £50. Acer refuse to issue genuine Windows installation disks. Acer's customer support over this issue has been extremely poor. Next time I'll go back to good old Dell.

Nice machine, but terrible quality control
I bought this laptop after seeing a friends in use for 3 months. My friend had no problems, but the one I bought (and its replacement) both had faults and were returned. Amazon's returns policey was very good and I obtained a refund without any hassle.

The moral is, IF YOU BUY ONE - CHECK IT OUT THOROUGHLY; especially the functions that you don't use so often.

A Stunning Laptop
Acer of Aspire 7720G Laptop. This is a cutting-edge notebook with some pretty powerful features.

The unique design makes the laptop look sleek and chic enough to carry around everywhere. Some reviews have said that it is heavy at 3.6Kg the with a 17inch display and 2 Hard Drives what do you expect! The Display is 17 inches and boasts of CrystalBrite technology to give a superior contrast ratio and crisp bright color.

It is powered by an Intel Core2Duo T7300 processor with 2GB of DDR2 memory and 320Gb (2x 160Gb) of hard disk space with Super-Multidrive Running Windows Vista Home Premium operating system, this notebook enhances user productivity, security, and entertainment. The built-in Acer Crystal Eye web camera is very good and adds video conferencing functionality. Dolby Home Theater completes the auditory experience with surround sound!

The WiFi conectivity is the best that I have ever used. The eight-cell L-ion battery gives about 2 hours of reliable power to the Acer, not great but this is really a desktop replacement. This is the best laptop that I have ever owned and this is my 4th.

This laptop is almost quicker than my Desktop PC.
