I have read over quite a few of your blog entries and I had been curious about if you were interesting in swapping web site links? I am often seeking to swap links with personal blogs about the same content! I look forward to hearing back from you shortly.

Im also using Acer Aspire 4310 for 2-3 years now.Mine is running on XP. No problem on LCD, but like ahmedmkaa Wi-fi isnt working even if I install/ reinstall the driver so many times. Can you suggest a solution? Im wondering if it’s really wireless ready or I was just deceived by the pc store (and the Acer brochure).

And also, there’s a blue tooth key but no blue tooth installed?
Can you tell me which product features are available for the units being sold in the Phils? It’s only these 2 problems that makes me somewhat disappointed.

Do you know where the ACER service center is?

for LCD problems: apparently, the early aspire series (4310 included) was probe to LCD ribbon damage (its the thing that connects your LCD to the motherboard). You have to have this replaced by Acer. Pray that you purchased an extended warranty when you bought your laptop.

for Wifi problems: reinstalling the drivers in the provided CD should solve ye problems. If not, then surf the web (look for Acer) then download the necessary drivers.

for Memory Cards: Sony cards need adapters in order to fit into the card slot of the laptop. Call it the “proprietary curse”. An alternative would be to just connect your camera via its USB data cable.

for gaming: Can play most recent games, but not the most latest 3D graphics intensive ones such as Fallout 3.

Bought mine in 2007. Hurray for BPI Madness!!!

Awesome LCD! Friends are amazed at the clarity and brightness. But its awesomeness also drains the battery quickly compared to other laptops. LCD needed repair a few months after pruchase (damaged connector ribbon), luckily was still under waranty.

The fact that it is the only laptop designed by the BMW team also never ceases to impress friends! BTW, Team Ferrari also designed an Acer laptop (the red one).

Audio volume also very weak. You have to connect external speakers specially when watching DVDs. Uninstalled the provided Realtek hi-def audio driver – more trouble than its worth: intermittent plug and play, tiny volume.

Wifi worked well, no bluetooth though. Sony memory cards needed adapter to fit in card slot (lost the card reader protector! damn!).

Only 4 USB ports, not enough for basic home setup of mouse, speakers, laptop pad, wireless, printer, scanner, AND flashdisks, phone, mp3 players, etc.

Installing XP was a pain because it could not detect the laptop’s hardisk – unless I buy the latest XP SP3 installer.

After I bought it, I dual-booted it with Vista and Kubuntu 7. Worked decently with Vista, being the crappy OS that it is. Worked better after RAM upgrade to 1Gb.

Couldn’t install the Acer Launchpad. Also, lefthand Wifi button worked in reverse. If it lights up, wifi is off. Funny.

Still using it now, currently dual-booted to Windows 7 Beta and Kubuntu 9. Runs ok with Windows 7, but currently experiencing problems with the Realtek Audio driver. Am currently looking online for a more decent replacement.

Overall, best value for money — at the time! Now, there are better laptops for 25k and below. Latest Acer Aspire models basically looks the same but have better specs – and are cheaper than the purchase price of my 4310! Argh!
