Acer TM4021WLMi Pentium M 1.6GHz / Wi-Fi / 15.4 inch and DVDRW Notebook PC

Acer always does a good job with it's laptops and this model is no exception. At the low end of the spectrum, you can't expect the greatest performance, but you will certainly get a machine that can start you in the world of laptops and portable...

This is a great deal in terms of what you get for the price and would be hard to match anywhere else.

Excellent Value

I recommend this laptop and have chosen this one for my clients.Most the competition gives you less for the same amount of money.

2Meg CACHE MEMORY on the CPU and DDR2 533 memory is what I found attractive about this Laptop ; It is a great value. It gives you the most for the money in the price range. It also has a nice large screen. The cases are both attractive as well. It will...

hard drives were formated in fat32.It is easy to convert to NTFS. Just use "convert c: /fs:ntfs" to convert them for better performance. The second laptop I received had two dead pixels. Dead pixels are not acceptable in my book not even two. luckily...

ACER comes through again!

I was blown away with this purchase. The price seemed too good to be true but the product came through in flying ACER colors. I had another Travelmate for 9 years without a problem and now this one is a grand performer. ACER is the industries best kept...

It is sleek, stylish, peppy for its price and very flexible in its capabilities, both performance wise and networking/internet

Not a great battery life but certainly adequate

Great Laptop

Solid laptop, great value and features for your money.

Purchased this notebook for my brother-in-law to give my sister for Christmas. He had a limit to spend and asked be to find him the best deal for his money. I have spent the last week setting it up and tweaking for my sister and have to say, as the...

As stated by others the sound is not the best and I think they should have included an external volume control

Very Very Satisfied

I would seriously recommend this to anyone looking for a laptop for under a $1000 with great features. If you can afford it I would recomend addign 1Gb of memory though, just because you video memory and syytem memory are one in the same.

Wher eot start. First off, this is a nice looking and well built laptop. The screen is an excellent size and the keyboard is very easy to use. I'm very satisfied with the performace. Was surfing, installing, downloading and some multi-media stuff all...

The only real complaint I have about this latop is the touchpad. It has a 4 way scrolling button in the middle, but it has yet worked for me. And the pad its self has a textured feel and doesn't seem to track as fast as other touchpads I've used. But...
