12-Aug-2008 Armen: Hi, could you please advice the battery run time of this particular laptop. Is it possible to buy an additional battery and bag? Thanks?

Easycom: The battery life on this model is 2.5 hours while the chrage time is 2 hours. It is possible to buy additional batteries and laptop bags from our website. Acer 2nd batteries start at £110.97. We also have a large range of bags to suit 16 inch laptops

13-Aug-2008 Chris: What is the "Bio-metric scanner/fingerprint reader" used for on this laptop? Is it how it sounds or I imagine and is used as an additional security feature to stop unauthorised persons from accessing the laptop as a whole? Please help as my partner very dearly would like this laptop and I would like to purchase one for her as a present.

Easycom: Yes, the fingerprint scanner can be configured to require a fingerprint-scan at the boot-up process and will restrict access to the operating system and files if a valid fingerprint is not given. It can also be set up to hold your passwords for websites and programs, so instead of typing your password in every time, you simply scan your finger instead. All these features are optional and can be disabled or configured to your needs.

23-Nov-2008 Felim: what speed is the hard drive? 5200/7200rpm? i'll take it, the vista version is 64bit?

David J: It will be 5200rpm on the hard drive and it will be 32bit Vista which is installed

2-Dec-2008 Howard: Is it possible to have a 7200 rpm drive installed in this machine as an option

SteveF: No, only the ram is upgradeable on a laptop.

8-Dec-2008 Mini Mad !: Hi If you buy a tv tuner for this seperately do you have to have a tv licence or what ?? and how do you set up a wireless modem ?? Do you just swap the wireless one with the old one ? Many thanks

SteveF: if you alerady have a TV license then no. If you don't you'll need one. The wireless router plugs into your normal modem and is pretty automatic to set up fro that point on.

9-Dec-2008 Mini Mad !: Hi again Not sure but does wireless affect the network your on ? Were with pipex and wondering if will change or any side affects or will it be the same as normal ? Many thanks again

SteveF: It won't effect the network. Think of it as just changing the way the information is transmitted to the laptop. One way does it through a cable, the other sends it via a signal. The result is not changed, the laptop still picks up the internet.
