Good LAPTOP, May 5, 2008

By Lanette Roi - Works great, but like all ACER laptops, make sure to use a chill mat to protect your computer. If it gets too hot, ACER computers have been known to die because of overheating.

For $600 is a nice deal , July 10, 2008

By Andres Jimenez Vega (Costa Rica) -
I bought Acer Aspire 5050-5430 Laptop computer last January. For the price of $600 is really a bargain.

Problems: After two months the web cam only could be used if I was logged to the messenger.

You might want to have it on a cool place because the computer and the ac adaptor become very hot, but I haven't have any failure yet

For the Ram, you might want to consider to at least but another 512mb of memory, you do that, and that machine would fly

No Windows Vista cd is included, that is bad, and for the drivers you must dowload them from the ACER site

But believe me, is a nice deal, still works like the first day (only the webcam issue )

Terrible Power Supply Connector, June 24, 2008

By Book Girl (St. Louis, MO) - Acer Aspire 5050-5430 laptop (Acer 5050) performs well. I have been very pleased with how it runs. The problem is that the power supply adaptor is defective. This happens so often, there is actually an external charger sold for the battery that you can find on amazon. I have had the adaptor connection on the laptop go out twice in 18 months. What's worse is unlike HP laptops, there is no docking station port to get around this problem. Acer will temperarely fix the problem for 400$, and is very unsympathetic in regards to helping me or their other customers find a solution. For this reason, I unfortunately had to give an otherwise good product a 1 star :(
Too bad because this would otherwise be a cost effective laptop, but with the mounting repair bills, it quickly becomes one of the most expensive laptops one will ever own.
