Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830TG laptop

"I needed a good, reliable laptop for college with a decent price/performance ratio, and I feel this model fulfills those needs perfectly..."

"I'll outline piece by piece the pros and cons, with a TL;DR at the end..."

"The bloatware installed was a hassle, not enough so to deter me from recommending it, as bloatware is a commonality nowadays..."

"Overall, this is a decent computer that is primarily used for school projects and minor gaming..."

"Comes with a lot of crapware, as all Acers do The pros here definitely outweigh the cons..."

"Thin, Portable, good battery life, good speakers, high quality build (Keyboard, trackpad, and ports are all great) If you gaming/media without sacrificing battery life and portability this is the one..."

"It has a glossy finish, which I don't really like, but the glare is not as bad as the HP I had..."

"The sound is also very good for a laptop; I can actually hear movies I play without extra speakers..."

"The keyboard in general isn't bad, though, just takes some getting used to, and is definitely not a dealbreaker..."
