'Compared to other mainstream consumer notebooks on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $640.'

'The dv2's 1,280-by-800 display is easier to work with than the 1,024-by-600 screens found on most netbooks.'

'Flexible and affordable.'

'The whole laptop is very solidly constructed and generally looks great.'

'It might be external but Acer has at least given it a really cool design in keeping with the rest of the notebook – it has angular buttons and a red streak down the side – it looks like Darth Vader's personal external DVD-ROM drive - and that's a good thing.'
