Are any ofyou uk readers looking for a desktop replacement for well under agrand? The Acer Aspire 1502LMI has chalked up some excellent reviewsfrom PCW, What Laptop and Zdnet, so you could certainly do worsethan this notebook. The 1502LMI is a solidly built, (weighing inat 3.8kg) laptop that can multitask with ease and keep you "inthe zone" for hours without a battery charge. And, with 512MBmemory and a 15-inch TFT screen, this machine can perform severalcomputer acrobatics at once.

The folks at Acer went withan AMD Athlon processor, which stealthily supports 64-bitapplications. The Athlon 3200+ chip clocked at 2.2GHz in testing,making standard 32-bit programs run with greater performance.Likewise, the battery maintained life for 215 minutes when testedby Whatlaptop.co.uk reviewers, enabling users to carry this three-spindledpower package away from the desk with little worry.

It's also an excellent, cost-effective choice for the mainlydesk-bound, with connectivity a real stand-out; With a 802.11gWireless LAN and Gigabit Ethernet, it's your choice: gowireless or make the thing zoom in wired offices able tosupport the faster cable connection.

The hard drive on this Acer Aspire isadequate 60GB, and there's 1 Firewire and 4 USB ports. The caseitself is a practical-looking, compact piece, in plain,dark-grey, made of toughened plastic.

Again, the most noticeable and aggressive feature is theAthlon-based system that can maintain and run a high level ofoverall performance and speed; even while running multipleprograms, it doesn't hang up or stall on you, and it won't die athousand deaths during its battery lifetime. All in all, a prettygood setup for office or home use.

It's over 6 months since the release of the Acer Aspire 1502LMI,but the machine still holds up well as a solid desktopreplacement.
