Good Points
Almost everything. So far so good. Fast, good screen, good battery life(3 hours plus normal use),great features, bundled with reasonable software, not to heavy and all in all a great laptop at what can only be described as a fantastic price form TECHNOWORLD(not the best retailer I have ever used but laptop did arrive so can't complain too much).
Machine appears to be well built and LOOKS? like it will stand the test of time.
Bad Points
The keyboard not the most responsive I have ever used.
The scrolling four way pad in the centre(between the left and right mouse buttons) has not worked since it arrived. I'm 99% sure it is a software confliction and will get to the bottom of it.
General Comments
In conclusion the Acer Aspire 5024WMLi is a great laptop for very little money that does all I want it to do and more. It even plays high spec games with no frame rate problems, although this is not what I bought the laptop for.
The only downfalls are the keyboard can be a little slow and unresponsive and the centre 4 way scroll device(sorry dont know the proper term) has never worked but believe it is a software problem and not a hardware fault.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this laptop.

Sorted the problem with the central pad by downloading the COMPANY driver and not using the acer link driver. A couple of months on and the laptop so far is faultless. Don't think!! BUY!!!!!
