Customer Reviews

Terrible Power Supply Connector
This 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.

Good LAPTOP
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.

Neat design
I like the size of this and its appearance. solid perfomance. great for school kids.
