I bought An Acer Aspire 4710 Laptop in year 2007. I am personally using his laptop since Oct 2007 and its working totally fine. At time when I bought this product it had 1GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Disk, 14 inch screen and 2Ghz Intel Core 2 duo processor at the cheapest price compared other vendors machine.
It was really a value for money product and peace of mind product as well. I have used it rigrously in home, office and during travel. But it is still working smoothly. It has developed a confidence in Acers products. I shall recommend Acers product to others too.
