'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 build quality is average'

'It's extremely compact for a system packing a full-fat mobile processor'

'thin and portable PC solution'

'For frequent travelers who require a notebook that's compact and lightweight, but doesn't skimp on performance, Chem USA delivers a capable thin-and-light machine that won't break the bank.'

'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.'
