Recently Acer managed to top the respected "Notebook Review" best selling chart. When I think of this notebook manufacturer, the beautiful Ferrari 4000 springs to mind. However, it was not the popular 4000 hitting the toppermost of the poppermost, but one of Acer's budget laptops - The Aspire 3002LCi.

Are youinterested to hear what the word is on the street about laptops?Looking to read unbiased reviews from real buyers? ForgetLaptopical - I've personally witnessed the editor here takingcountless brown envelope back handers from the corps, so ourreviews are about as trustworthy as a chimp in a bananahouse. Just kidding folks, however when shelling out for an expensivepiece of computer hardware, it's always wise to get multipleopinions.

Epinions is an excellent place to find real user opinions aboutlaptops, from love stories, to reviews worthy of a Bram Stokernovel, a wide range can be found here. Notebookreview.com is another excellent resource. On their popular forum,eager visitors have racked up over a 100,000 posts, ranging fromhardware reviews, discussions about gaming software, notebookmods and upgrades, to the latest tech bargains.

Notebook review also have best selling page at their site, andtoday it was an Acer laptoptopping the charts. When I think of Acer, the beautiful Ferrari4000 instantly springs to mind. However it was not the topend 4000 hitting the toppermost of the poppermost on thissultry day in July, but one of their budget offerings - TheAspire 3002LCi.

But why is a laptop like the Aspire 3002LCi so popular withnotebook buying punters? One word - Value. The specs are solidfor a no frills machine, but certainly don't draw gasps ofamazement......An AMD Mobile Sempron (1.6 GHz) processor, 256 MBDDR SDRAM, 40 GB hard drive, a 15 inch TFT active matrix display,all in a less than svelte 6.2 pounds frame.

Then you look at the sub 600 dollar price tag, and you begin toget to the bottom of it's popularity. This is the time of yearwhen cash strapped students are looking for a discounted notebook to take back to the classroom.The Acer Aspire 3002LCi should enable you to surf the web, watchDVDs, and handle Microsoft Office applications with ease.

So if you're on the hunt for a laptop this summer, the word isRESEARCH. There are no guarantees, but using multiple sourcesshould lessen the chance of you purchasing a dud.
