Hi, I'm in the market for a new laptop and looking around on a few sites this one caught my eye. http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_5742G_1070068.html I'm just wondering if anyone has one or has heard anything positive or negative about them (or Acer in general)? It's €460, is that good or...? How does it compare…

I'm just wondering if anyone has one or has heard anything positive or negative about them (or Acer in general)? It's €460, is that good or...? How does it compare to other laptops in the price range? My last laptop was a Dell Inspiron and I had so many problems with it, battery, charger, screen, hinges etc so reliability is a top concern.

Any opinions welcome, cheers.

Very good laptop. Very good shell and heat dissipation is great for a laptop. I have the same laptop with the exception of a GT540 instead of GT520 though. It's also very light.

Looks good.
I'm also in the market for a laptop. What is the battery life like on this laptop?
