The Acer Guy

Don’t like glossy laptops you scratch or attach finger prints so easily? Need something mobile and light, yet having a big enough screen for web browsing? don’t have the budget of more then $500USD? Aspire 5534 sounds just about right!

Fortunately, I get to get my hands on one of these babies, I took my friend to shop for his first laptop, this is what we came across, $399.99CAD with AMD Turion 64btit, 3GB, ATi Mobility Radeon HD3200, 250GB HDD, pretty nice for the price I say! Thanks to David, my friend, we get tot take a peek at this product!

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I reviewed or wrote an article for you guys, but I’ve been asked to introduce the future of easy LAN connection – Bravura Easy Computer Sync™.

Here’s another quick post to announce a fundamental shift in the way I’m going to handle reviews on this site. As many of you already know, I openly welcome users who write their own reviews of their Acer products and have published nearly ten so far. Name one other PC manufacturer with the balls to [...]

OK, summer’s over – or at least it will be for me on Monday – and so now’s a good time to take stock of how many people we’ve helped, what we’ve done and what we can do to improve still further.

First of all, let’s get that first question out of the way. So far it’s 364,873.

This summer I had a long hard look at the idea behind the “community” we’ve built up on The Acer Guy.

We haven’t done one of these in a Looooooonngg time so I’m particularly grateful to Peter Andersen for writing this up.

This is the first “real user” review of the Acer Aspire 3935 so you can tell what it’s like in the “real” world. For the record, and just to clarify this point, I have done no editing to this article. What you get is what I did.

So again, many thanks Peter, let’s hope you kick start the user review section again!

I received my new Acer Aspire 3935 this Thursday (June 11th),

Of all the video reviews I’ve published, Morris’s have been the most in-depth.

Morris came from absolutely nowhere (well Canada) and has, I think many of you agree, helped as many people as Simone has. He’s tireless, extremely informed and a total geek

However, once the Aspire One was launched, we ran into a problem. Suddenly, very specific questions were being asked and Morris couldn’t answer them because he didn’t have an Aspire One.

Careful what you ask for….?

For weeks… nothing… then BAM!! two 6920 reviews in one day.

You guys are great.

Here’s Logan’s take on the 6920:

For 3 weeks, I have admired my newest of my long line of 3 laptops I have ever owned. This computer is by far the neatest and most powerful machine of anyone in my family – in my neighborhood no less! For those of you who do not know the specs, I can abbreviate the long line of technical mumbo-jumbo.

OK… Here we go. The first user review of an Acer Aspire 6920 (Gemstone Blue).

I’ve been waiting for what seems like a gazillion years for someone to write what these things are like in the real world (as opposed to journalists’ test benches) and Ian came up with the goods.

Here’s what he thinks:

Hi Michael,

Just to let you know I got my laptop yesterday, I need to get used to it a bit before doing a video.

I can tell you that all the Games I have work very well on it.

We have our first review for the Acer Aspire 8920. I’m really excited about receiving these directly from you, and want to thank John Daniels for writing this up so soon after receiving his. But that’s enough of me. Let me get out the way and let John tell you what his first few days [...]
