Microsoft Office trial version only - Beware !
I purchased my Acer Aspire 5720z in Feb 2008 (6 months ago)and though generally happy with the laptop - I now find I have no Microsoft Office software available as unknown to me this software was only provided on a "trial" basis and has now expired ! the cost to install this now is 140 Euro (approx £115) had I known this at the outset I would not have purchased this laptop.
Beware !

Good value for money
A good value notebook does exactly what it says on the tin. Had no problems with Vista in fact it is much better than before, I was worried I might have to get my 8 year old son to show me how to use it but it is fairly fool proof. Battery life is not so good but the screen is nice to see and the keyboard lovely to type (and I should know as I am an audio typist by profession and type quite fast).

Acer Aspire - annoying touch pad
Recently purchased the Aspire 5720Z - my 1st Acer laptop (always owned IBM's and Compaq's previously). My biggest issue with this manufacturer and design is that the touch pad is too big and too close to the actual keyboard compared to other makes. The touch pad is so sensitive that when you hover your fingers in the typing position the touch pad picks up the cursor and you end up typing in another part of the document or email. It is SO frustrating! For example, it has taken me 15 minutes to write this due to the cursor jumping all over page.
I wish someone had warned me prior to purchasing this make so thought I'd do the decent thing and write this review to pre-warn others.

very good
didnt buy it from here but thought id leave a review anyway. is a very good laptop, great crystalbrite screen, it looks nice, runs fast and you can do several things at once without it even slowing down.
had no problems at all connecting to my existing wireless.
comes with a free trial of norton anti virus and microsoft office so will have to buy those some time.
burns both CDs and DVDs in case the description didnt make that clear.
keyboard is nice and easy to use.
comes with Vista which ive heard alot of bad things about but so far dont see the problem, its a much more updated and modern version of windows.

BUT be warned, amazon have put up a picture of a different model, the picture shows a crystaleye webcam, and navy blue trimming, but it actually does not come with crystaleye, and the trim is a lime green.
other than that they are identical.

Hope this helps.
