vickidavies's review of Acer Aspire 5315

“Basically the laptop comes with 1GB memory and 80GB...”

★★★★☆

written by vickidavies on 11/12/2009

Basically the laptop comes with 1GB memory and 80GB hardrive. It has a 15'' screen and built in wireless technology.

My laptop came with windows vista , fairly drastic changes from XP but one you get familiar with these changes.

Also installed when you purchase this laptop are the microsoft Office programmes (Word, Excel, etc) but they are only a trial version, and I think you have to buy the full version. If you don't want to buy the full version tho, there are very similar Microsoft programmes you can use such as Windows word processor and Windows Spreadsheet and they pretty much do the same job as Microsoft Office Programmes.

The Laptop also comes with:

ACER GAMEZONE - a selection of trial versions of games. Some are pretty decent and can be addictive, however they are only trial versions and you only get about 60 minuits to play each game before you have to buy the full version.



NORTON INTERNET SECURITY - Anti virus, but again a trial version

Software to enable you to watch DVD's (ACER ARCADE) and burn CD's.



USING ACER ASPIRE 5315

Overall I think is an enjoyable experience however I think it depends what you want to use a laptop for. I use my laptop basically for , surfing the internet and downloading music for my ipod on itunes. I also occasionly use it to play music and watch DVD's.

The keyboard is also quite handy in that it has shortcut keys. They are used by pressing the blue 'Fn' button and they appropriate shortcut key. They have small symbols / pictures on them which easily represent their function. For example you can change the brightness of the screen, turning sound on and off and control some of the functions in windows media player such as skip a song, stop, and play.

Overall I'd rate this laptop 5/10. I find it too big, bulky and very heavy but I do like the shiny screen (exept when its bright and sunny!). However, like me, if you do not tend to move your laptop around anywhere, exept around the house maybe, then I wouldn't worry about the bulkyness of this laptop. If you'r a business person who travels around alot then I'd recommend something smaller and lighter.

I find the colours of the laptop also don't look nice at all, not together anyways. I think it should be all black and i dont see the point in the keyboard being grey. I think that's all I have bad to say about this laptop. Using this laptoo is quich and easy, especially if you only use it for basic things such as the internet, msn, and downloading music. It's also goo for watching DVD's, however the sound is rubbish do you'd probably need to plug it in to some speakers.
