First Take

Value for Money notebook

Aug 23, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: small, weigh less than 2 Kg, loaded with Blue tooth, WiFi and DVD Multi Drive
Cons: I wish this notebook comes with Win XP Pro, Vista needs more time to stabilise
Opinion:
This week, I purchased this Acer 6291 for USD 1000/- for 2 GB RAM and 160GB HDD and I felt it was a good investment. But i craved for Win XP Pro OS rather than Vista Home Premium. Vista needs few more years to stabilize. Overall, I am happy with this notebook

 

Great Price, Great Portability

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Affordable price, internal optical drive
Cons: Have to upgrade bios to install XP
Opinion:
i bought this last night, and i find the design was as good as i expected. i rushed to get my XP installed, but whoa... the setup can't find any harddisk! fortunately acer have the answer and problem solved after bios upgrade.
i found everything i need on this, 12" screen, wi-fi, dvd writer,etc. i spent 999US$ for the 512mb package and another 405US$ to make it 1,5Gb... a dream machine indeed
