Question from Matt: Asked on 22/08/2007 I am looking at getting either this laptop or the 'Acer Aspire 5633WLMi - LX.AXX0X.246' laptop. The usage would be for my A level coursework with excel and word being used, as well as writing html and other computer and software code.

Question from Al: Asked on 17/08/2007 I'm looking at buying a laptop and have narrowed it down to this model and the Acer TM 5720G-101G16, which do you think is the better model (the integrated camera is something I don't really need)

Question from Nat: Asked on 14/08/2007 I'm trying to decide between this laptop (Acer Aspire 5613AWLMi - LX.AY50X.062), the Acer Aspire 5633WLMi - LX.AXX0X.246 and the Acer TravelMate 5720G-302G16 LX.TK30X.033. I'm looking for a laptop for home use, with heavy internet/downloading usage, general tasks in Excel etc and a lot of music / movie usage.
My main concern with the 5613 is that it doesn't have the Core 2 Duo chip but I like the higher (1.8 Ghz) processor speed - how will this compare in performance to the 5633 which uses a new Core 2 Duo chip but only has a 1.66 Ghz chip?
The 5720 is obviously a good all-rounder but I would like to keep the price down if possible and am concerned about whether the 5613 would meet all my needs and not be heaps slower than a Core 2 Duo model. Thanks.

Question from Rob: Asked on 13/08/2007 Bought This laptop last week mainly for WOW (which looks awesome on the higher detail) and DVD editing - outstanding product/spec at a fantastic price. Next day delivery and also a free phone - dont delay - buy today and spoil yourself!!

Also, could this easily run The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and Half-life 2 without any trouble? My budget is £600 max, is the 5613AWLMi the best laptop for me? Thanks

Question from ryltar: Asked on 10/08/2007 Hi, i was just wondering what kind of ram this has. "Fast DDR ram" doesn't really explain it. I'm assuming its DDR2 667MHz ?

Question from Joe: Asked on 09/08/2007 I am stuck between this and the Asus F3Jr, i know this has a better ram and is faster but i am worried about the graphics card with only 64 dedicated, can you tell me which would be better from gaming?

Question from chris: Asked on 08/08/2007 im looking to replace an Acer 1693 wlmi laptop, the processor has basically ceased to operate and not worth repairing at the costs ive been given. The machine was used quite a lot playing world of warcraft over the last 6 months and im worried that this game is a little too demanding for laptops, as my 1693 always ran really hot when playing and the fan was constantly on. can you confirm whether running this game on something like the 5633 wlmi will reduce the working life of the machine as i assume this is the reason for the breakdown of my existing 1693 model? cheers.

Question from meg: Asked on 01/08/2007 160GB is a pretty massive hard drive, does it come partitioned?

Question from Onu-zap: Asked on 31/07/2007 Both the 5613AWLMi and the 5633WLMi have near enough the same specs, besides the processors (which from another question you replied as giving the same performance), so which one is worth it?

Another concern is that you replied to rupen "The Aspire 5633WLMi will be significantly faster due to the Core 2 processor" however you replied to me that the Core Duo T2350 and the Core 2 Duo T5500 give out similar performance, i think you have mislead me and potentially other people.
