...Hello everyone and welcome to this review. Well... Unfortunately my old HP laptop had reached the end of its life; it was time to get a new one. Im surprised that it lasted as long as it did considering the amount of times I drop my laptops. After researching on the web for a while I got a bit confused, there were so many laptops available and there were many good and bad reviews on each, I really did not know what to think. So, a trip to Comet was in order, I just wanted to pick one that looked nice and had okay features.

It was so simple. The 1st thing you will need to do once you get connected is to goto the settings menu and click the live update. This gets all the up to date bits and bobs the aspire one needs to be upto date. This process is almost fully automated and took about 30mins tom update and install.
