        Comments about Acer Aspire AS5251-1005 15.6" Notebook Computer:

        This Acer Aspire was my first portable computer. The price was right, screen size and features what I wanted. No complaints so far (I've had it for a couple of weeks) except one that I was forewarned about: short battery life. I need to put a clock to it, but it only seems to run a couple of hours before I need to plug it in again.

        I use it on my lap, and like most "laptop" computers, it'll get warm, so I bought a cooling pad to go with it.

        It boots up and shuts down MUCH quicker than my desktop (5 years old, running XP) so it'll get a lot of use into the future.

        One pleasant surprise: when I used Skype, it had a built-in microphone (somewhere on it) in addition to its built-in camera, which made the live video call very easy!
