Potentially excellent machine with a few problems
Received the machine and was impresed by the build quality generally. Agree with previous posts re. hard drive -- it really needs a faster one. Very good for office apps etc.
Multimedia not so good: has problems with the audio - drop-outs, silences etc. (BTW it is verified that this isn't an O/S or driver issue). Don't know if this happens with all of these or just some. Also has problems with ACPI causing system hangs and crashes -- suspected BIOS problems.
BTW: Acer seems to have now taken these machines off the market and replaced them with the 1520 which no longer has a VIA chipset but an NVidia. Not had any joy getting my own problems fixed yet (under guarantee!!!)
