My First Week with ACER ASPIRE 2920 and Windows Vista.

My First Week with ACER ASPIRE 2920 and Windows Vista.

.

Thumbs up and Thumbs down:

.

In brief Windows Explorer hang up on me a number of time which require shut down it does not seem to be stable, but reboot was fast thank to a better spec computer, so it was ok. Windows Program download was annoying as once it upload it keep demanding to shut down. Other then that it was thumbs up, Fast, user friendly interface especially to search for a file, though when a file is move, it remembers the old location.

.

I just enjoy myself fooling around with it. Downloading and installing and uninstalling various programs and gadgets and testing it out. I just have not burn a DVD yet but have try out burning a few photo’s to CD which was quite fast using windows however the Normal DVD player cannot read, I have to burn another DVD with the NTI CD/DVD Maker, which work.

.

Key Points :

.

E Recovery (Acer)

.

This program works, now i can reformat to factory specs any time and it just take 10 min, to reformat the C drive thought it take close to 8 hours setting it back up to the way i want it, Best is the data in D drive is saved, no need to down load it again or lost data.

.

Thumbs UP

.

Movie & Battery:

.

The Windows Media Player is good when you stop a DVD and eject it, and replace it the next day it will start up where you stop. That good that save time in searching for the place where you stop it. Running on fully charge battery it lasted the entire DVD of the latest Indiana Jones Flick

.

Thumbs Up

.

Music:

.

The Windows Media Player does not seem able to handle MP3 well, as it keep sssstuuurrring all the time. Win Amp works though with out any problems , Sound is loud for a lap top speaker, funny though loudness is better then movie.

.

Thumbs Down

.

MS Office (Trail version) :

.

Again Plus and minus, i keep looking for the stuff I need at the wrong place, as the controls are somewhat different. It actually better but not for some one who has use office for years. Those who has not use office will find it easy.....

.

Thumbs Down

.

The Key Board:

.

Yes its smaller, and i keep typing (,) instead of (.) initially but i soon adept to the key board.

.

Conclusion :

.

Overall, I am happy with the package of Soft ware and the Notebook, quite well balance actually and you do not actually need anything else to down load unless you want to.........
