    I recently bought a Aspire 5315 for my son and was impressed with its general performance and speed. I then picked up a second hand 5720 for myself as it offerd an extra USB slightly faster specifications, and a card reader built in. The unit I got was reported as faulty and hot. Looking into the reason its the same as every other laptop I have used. The cooling fan is on teh undersude and it draws in a lot of dust however I wasnt expecting quite as much as I found. This particular unit had a huge amount of build up on the heatpipe heatsink fins. You need to remove the fan to get at this and using a paintbrush and hoover clean it out. The unit had got so hot previously that the lables had deteriorated and so had the hard drive as it had been cooked. Any owner of this should open up the underside and clean out theh dust on the heatexchange ( heatpipe radiator) Guarantee it will runa lot quicker. I kg and reeep reading the many users have heat problems after a year. This is probably teh reason why. Dust Build up. Other than cleaning and replacing the hardrive as it was cooked and flaky nothing else has changed. Operating Windows 7 its a great machine for the money just needs some TLC....

    I have had this laptop for about 14 months now an regret buying it. Grantred it is cheap and a good spec for the money BUT, its cheap feeling, within a week of use the paint had been wiped clean from the mouse buttons, it runs VERY hot with the fan running full pelt all of the time, DVD/CD burner no longer works, mouse pad is extra sensitive - often find the cursor in odd places in the screen where my hand passed within a inch of the mouse pad.

    If you are considering one of these I would sugge ...

    I have had a great deal of difficulty with this Acer Aspire laptop. I've had it about ten months, and it no longer detects the battery so I have no choice but to run it always plugged in.
    Another problem that is incredibly annoying is that it often overheats. By often - let me give you an example. Last night, over the period of about two hours, it shut itself down EIGHT times. This problem has got progressively worse since I bought the laptop.
    It seems to shut down more often when I use sites ...
