The Review

aight i finally got my acer 5670
i started ordering from Newegg.com but i had so many problems with my credit card that i ended up ordering from ncix.com. i now love them , i can even pay through my online banking so the only thing i can b!tch about is the fact that when i put the lappy on a table it didnt sit right, so i turn it over. and behold , the main cover was popped out. extremely weird. probably when they installed the ram they didnt put it back together right.
bad packaging

popped up cover

sooo nice. i love the crystalbrite (aka glossy) screen. here its playing milkdrop on winamp

that annoying cover on the card reader (ps no compactflash)

the amazing viewing angles




the only bad angle is from top (prolly because of cristal orientation)

and here the shortcut buttons (programmable) mine are setup for openoffice/winamp/firefox/steam

the windows media player buttons (im trying to get them to work for winamp. can any1 help?)

and finally the whoe lappy lovely just lovely

i power it up. this machine boots up soo fast ( compared to my oldass desktop lol)
skip throught the whole windows settings part
sofar i havent run any tests, only installed firefox and codecs and openoffice. i cant do too much for now cause i got finals these two weeks.

for now all i can say is:
pros :
- beautifull, just beautifull
- build is good.
- great battery life : 3-3.5 hours
- not too heavy
- the webcam is very nice under good lighting. when you turn the option for low lighting the cam is extremely slow so i turned it off (default on)
- cs:s with full eyecandy runs great
- i love the screen ooo so glossy (this might be a con for some pple as it reflects a hell of a lot)
- multitasking on this baby is a cinch. i run mildrop (winamp vis) on desktop mode, while dlding, transferring large folders, and burning a cd. without a pb

cons
- the wifi and bluetooth buttons on the front are oddly loose but work
- the little cover on the card reader is so freaking anoying. you pulll it out and it hangs by a little rubber end, so ill prolly just rip it out
- even when not playing the right side gets pretty hot.
- the touchpad acts up on its own and rightclicks when it freaking wants to. im gonna have to see that (anyine else have this problem?) it also oddly heat up as the cpud and northbridge are right underneath
- the keyboard flexes a hell of a lot. but heard many pple say this
- THIS THING GETS HOOOT!!!! i wouldnt recommend using it on your lap for too long
- acer programs
- comes with 2 partitions in……FAT32 !!!!!
- blowhole on the right side makes your hand sweat when using a mouse
- sofar havent been able to configure the media keys for winamp.

im sorry bout this poor review but im no laptop expert (desktop forever before this beauty)
i also forgot i dont have a winxp cd anymore and this didnt come with one, so ima ask a friend to mail me one. and then ill format the freaking FAT32 freaking two partition drive

anyway ive been waiting for this lappy for so long so i had to post a minireview
more testing to come
