Acer travel mate is avery poor quality laptop it doesn't support much of the software and it has a very poor user experiance it is one of the worst laptop I have ever seen and used.

The specification of this laptop is very decent and or call it worst it is not able to run application properly and will lagh most of the time.

The display of this laptop is very poor it is doesn't give good quality picture. the laptop is very sensible and it must be used in care as for the very poor built quality of the device.

The product is very cheep but though I will not recommand you to get this laptop as it would be a waste of money

.

the service center of this device is very poor and you will be not able to get your desired information and it is very lazy too

After all my experiance with thes laptop is very bad interms of OS and hardware it is the worst laptop and I would never recommand it to you as it is a very out of date laptop.

Its been a year for my travelmate and i am so happy that i choose the right one. When i look at the screen its cool not hurting my eyes unlike the one i had before used to give strain in my eyes if i sit for long hours ..would suggest people to buy acer any model which suits their budget .

As its better than the cheap china models. Who have no quality and once gone is unrepairable. I think it also reflect the intelligence of a pehossing the right model and brand ..acer also can easily change lcd settings for quick set up of presentations...easy to carry because of the light weight.

Would recommend the store owners also to recommend acer to customers to have quality for money and to keep up the goodwill n the market.it creats a bond between the retailer and the customer for longer time and once the customer gets satisfied he will surely come back..

I am now wondering whether Acer is losing the Race in the laptop market ? When I bought the laptop around 2 and a half years back, I liked it, because of the features I get for the price and in fact that was impressive.

I paid Rs. 64000 for theTravelMate 4152 NLCi with 3 year warranty and an upgrade of the default RAM of 256 MB to 768MB.

Was that a worst decision ? I don't want to believe yes, but you decide after reading the review..

Within 3 months, my lappy stopped working. When taken to the customer care centre, they said it's mother board complaint. My lappy started working again in a week. I was impressed by their service.

Another month, now it's turn of Harddisk. Bad sectors and it had to be replaced. Luckily I had the backup and no data was lost. Again the HD was replaced in a week's time. **Excellent service.

*I started recommending Acer to a few of my friends and told them that you must go for Acer just because of the service you will get. You should take 3 years step warranty though.

A total of 9 months have been passed and mother board stopped working again. Network card was not being detected by OS (neither by Windows nor by Linux). So yet another Mother board replacement. It took just 4 days to get it functioning normally.

On the 13th month of purchase, my LCD monitor showed some large vertical lines across the screen and it was replaced too. It took another week to get it replaced.

For the last one year, no complaints!!!! And I was quite happy and two of my friends bought Acer laptops against Lenova brand just on my recommendation. And I must say they are okay with the decision.

A few weeks back it's the turn for Harddisk again. It took 2 weeks to get it replaced.2 weeks, but I thought it's just an exception.

Now it's my motherboard again. Machine gets switched off as if a ghost turned it off by pressing the power off button. I am a GNU/Linux user and when called on the support, it was fun. They were really hesitant to register a support call. After a few minutes of talk, they asked to open "Start --> Run". When I said, I am using Linux, they registered the call and gave the complaint number as 040708-216.

It's been around 3 weeks, since I registered the call. You all know how cumbersome it is to see all your hours of work go haywire, just because it goes off power all on a sudden. You go offline in the midst of a serious business talk with a client and you are in serious risk of losing the business. No businesses lost, but they often wonder what happened. I am really sad to see that my favorite laptop brand Acer going bad in services recently:-(

When asked the support about how long it will take, they said, another week. It's not their mistake. Acer should send in the new board or a repaired one to them and then only they can replace it for me.

For a summary, in the three years, for my acer laptop I had...

3 mother board replacements

2 hard disk replacements &

1 LCD replacement.

Anyways it's time for another laptop. I would have went for Ferrari model, if the service didn't go this bad. I liked Acer because even in those early days most of its components are easily Linux compatible, including Wireless and Bluetooth. So in your opinion, should I go for Acer Ferrari again ? or look for some other brand ?

i love laptops..and cell phones. I just purchased the acer travelmate 2304lci .out of the box, everything seemed to just work. the packaging seemed quite good with-a box within a box within a box, and a loads of packaging foam to keep the laptop safe. included at the top of the box was a quick start guide.which outlined in pictures and a few (multi lingual) words how to get started.great for guys like me who see detailed directions as optional!!!!!!!!!!.

putting the battery in was a snap(haha) . and I was pleasantly surprised that it came charged.(good for da laptop) . XP asked me a few questions. and soon I was rebooting to a normal xp screen.

a pleasant surprise was da built in WIFI feature. I purchased my wireless networking card (D-LINK DI-524) at da same time as da laptop.i had yet to set it up when I turned on da laptop for da first time.the acer found another wireless network in my neighborhood, which was a total surprise to me, and used dat connection to finish XP's conversation wid microsoft. very very cool!! I hope my neighbour didn't mind sharing a cup of bandwidth! oce my own wireless router was setup I found I was getting excellent bandwidth all over my house.YEAH!!

the acer I purchased came with:

-a 15'' XVGA screen which looks great

-a 40 GB hard drive( I have found dat manufacturer vary) pre-partitioned into 2 20GB drives (XP called them "C" N "D"

-a standard touch pad.( but I don't use mouse)

-3 USB 2.0 ports 1 at da front and 2 on da right

-1 s video outport, on da right side

-a cdrw\dvd drive on da left side works great!..but bundled wid some bizarre homegrown ACER burning software package. the dvd software by cyberlink was nice.

-64 MB share intel chipset video card-shared sucks, but wat r u going to do for dis price???

• front access ports for audio in n out

-front access safety button to turn off wifi n bluetooth devices

-SD card reader-(right side) ..funky extra

-256 MB RAM- something i'll upgrade after mummy..papa..chacha..chachi anyone fills my pocket.

apart frm XP da only software included was acer's cdrw and n dvd engine, and a 3 month trial to norton anti-virus

-all in all a decent little ...and sexy laptop for da price..sleek nift, solid construction and a slew of features a number of more GHATIA n expensive laptops do not have.

Hey guys sonicflood_fan is back again!!!

Hey I read a couple of other reviews and guyz I think you gotto check up on today's Acer.for 46 k, I got a travelmate 4152 and here are a list of its great features!!

1.Bluetooth

2.IR

3.1.66Ghz centrino Intel processor

4.512 MB DDR2 Ram(533 Mhz)

5.3 In one card reader(Ms,SD,xD)

6.4 usb Ports(High Speed 2.0)

7.Firewire port

8.15.1 widescreen

9.64 MB Nividia Geforce

10.W lan B/G

11.Acer's W lan signal booster

12.8 cell battery

And a host of other usual features.

the same featur list give and take a few was 63k in toshiba,89 k in samsung,110k in Soni vaio,59k in LG x Note.Beat that!!!!!

And about the customer service,recently acer has employed HCL to take up its support and they are simply superb!!The laptop I bought had a minor defect(the PCIMA slot would not open properly).When we called support at like 11 am they told us to wait for a couple of hours an true to their word they arrived in time and fixed the problem without a hitch!i havent seen such a great support for dell or toshiba or even fr that matter Lg and samsung.

the laptops are cheap and ae absolutely superb performers and scored high with benchmarking tools like sisoft sisandra.It ran NFS UG 2 smoothly and satisfactorily.

One thing which is a drawback is the screen and the sound.The screen is OK and is not great like HP or dell laptops.The sound sucks and is nowhere near laptops like toshiba and HP.

But these drawbacks are overshadowed by the GREAT features which the acer laptops offer.

One more thing, The signal booster technology is so awesome that I can actually get the signal from hotel near my house which is like almost half a kilometer away!!!The Battery is great too.

overall I will suggest buying acer as its quality has improved greatly and will provide the best value for money your money can ever provide!!!!

Adeious!

I purchased ACER tablet and ACER Projector because of cost effectiveness and style. What a waste of money!. Both broke down within a year, and the best part was they kept it until the warranty was finished and then tried to charge me for it. and I am not talking just a short time. they have been giving me excuses of why its not ready for 3 Months.

Even over the Phone, the ACER rep told me that it will take longer (more than 6 weeks) if I insisted to have it repaired under warranty, BUT IF I PAID, it could be done in a week. I thought a Warranty was supposed to be ''A Warranty'', not some excuse to get more money.

Every time I would call ACER, they told me the people in charge were in a meeting, and they would call me back – they never called back.

Bottom line: ACER Warranty is fake. and ACER service people are just out to make an extra buck at YOUR expense. Don't Waste you money

The Only thing ACER knows is how to sell cheap computers. Their Marketing network might be good but I would say there is no After Sale support at all ! Their dealers promises a lot when you buy. but once your product gets any problem nobody will help you !. Once you handover your ACER products to the Dealers you have to wait ... I don't know for how long ! (I am waiting since more than 3 months) .... yes of course if you have small problem like in keyboard or battery then dealer might repaired it but for critical one they even don't diagnose the problem....and in critical case once your Dealer approach their technical department then .... in that complicated ACER department they will take lots of time and your computer get OLDER after visiting their Technical center. They will replace your new parts by old Repaired one ! Your Laptop will get lots of scratches on the body. (I seen personally how they are handling it) nothing will be cared.... and the Main thing is the communication about Support... There is nobody in the company who could reply your Emails (there is only one email for contact on their official website https://acer.co.in, you will never get even acknowledgement from this), Faxes, Letters.... They really don't care about customer !!! you can't even logged complaint about their technical staff or dealers. nobody will listen your complain.!!! I have a STRONG fact reason for saying all this... I am waiting for my computer to be repaired since more than (3) THREE MONTHS !!!. I haven't got any reply of my Emails, Faxes in regards to complain about their support system. not even acknowledgement !!! I have sent it to all of their official contacts fax number Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad,... Even I have sent it to some of regional Acer Clinic Care.... and also to their Taiwan office.!!! Please read on my experience with ACER as below:

I have wrote emails and fax to ACER as given below:

Anyway, I advised think a lot before you buy ACER PRODUCTS.

I was looking for a laptop at a budget range of 55K Rs. to replace my existing PC. As I browsed through various catalogs, websites I settled to decide between three competitors Acer TravelMate 4152, IBM R50e and Compaq Presario M2013. I went for Acer TravelMate 4152 because of its Sonoma Platform which uses a newer Intel 915 GM chipset with higher processor speeds 500 Mhz compared to 855's 400 Mhz used by IBM and Compaq. A brief review of its various features according to me. 1. Build Quality: Weighing 2.87 Kgs and encased in a silver body it looks solid and sturdy to handle. The battery and RAM compartments are easy to open. It has a 8 Cell Li-Ion battery with estimated time of 5 hours. 2. Processing Power: Powered by a Intel Pentium M 740 Processor (1.73 Ghz and 2 MB L2 cache) and with 256 MB RAM the processing power is good for programming and light graphics applications. It supports DDR2 (dual channel) RAM and I would recommend anyone to upgrade 256 MB extra for the extra power. It has Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 built in for graphics support. 3. Storage : It comes with a 60 GB ATA Hard disk and by the way it also supports SATA hard disk. The CD drive comes in the form of DVD Read and CD Read / Write. It also comes with a 6 in 1 card reader for reading MMC,SD and Memory Sticks. 4. Connectivity : It comes with 4 USB 2.0 ports and 1 IEEE 1394 port (Firewire). There are also 1 serial port,1 RJ-11 port, A/V ports and S-Video Out. 5. Networking : It has built in support for Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g. It also has bluetooth, infra red for wireless transfers. A inbuilt modem is also present. 6. Display & Sound : It comes with a 15'' XGA TFT LCD .Its viewing angle and picture quality is good. Sound produced from the stereo speakers in the front is good for a laptop. 7. Software: The laptop comes with a preloaded version on linux and there is also a driver CD for setting up various devices. The Acer e-powerManagement and Launch Manager is very useful. The e-Powermanagement software gives the user tools to tweak the battery back-up time. Finally people with a 50K budget can definitely go for it. The battery back-up depends on the applications being run. For running office applications I got a remarkable 4:30 hours. Using bluetooth and wireless networking brings it down to 2:30 hours. The one drawback is you have to buy a full version of windows or have a good linux version as the preloaded one has only limited functionalities.
