I see we have a QVC Acer TSV at Midnight wednesday - anyone have any ideas what it is yet?
Idealy looking to buy a Windows 7 laptop.

From what Julia just said on the Centigrade show it will be a windows 7 netbook

I will not be buying.
Those that like it will find PC World sell it for £269.99

Netbooks are fine so long as you don't mind managing without a CD/DVD drive........
Saw it presented last night (mainly cos I couldn't sleep) with Julia roberts fawning over it and making ridiculous suggestions that it's so much better than a bigger laptop...
Erm Julia, it's not the hard disk that governs the size of a computer/lappy/notebook etc....
And what about the colours?
I see we're still in a male market *sigh* ...big boy black blue or red (yuk). How about purple or pink?
I would have thought a lot of the potential market they are aiming at would be kids and girls use laptops too! :sad:
They are marketed as budget machines, so you tend to get what you pay for. Unless you want to shell out for top of the range, don't expect a ferrari.
After my dealings with Acer a couple of months ago there is no way I will be buy anything of theirs again.
Netbooks are fine so long as you don't mind managing without a CD/DVD drive. I simply love the way they omit to mention that when doing the sales spiel. :cheeky:
One of my laptops is an Acer Aspire (bought from Tescos about 3 years ago) and 2 friends bought the same model (notebook 5630) at the same time. We all use them every day. Can't say I've had any more trouble with it than any other laptop - less in fact. It's never had to go back to Acer
