Pros: Tiny, light, strong, sturdy, easy to type, well layed out keyboard, good aesthetics, fast, long battery life, very low cost, well layed out port map
Cons: Crap Acer version of Linux Fedora (Easy to change)!
This is a great option for any student, simple as that. This laptop has the equal power (when it was bought) to a £550 laptop, i payed only £185 for mine, plug it into a monitor & external mouse, keyboard. Problem solved?On the go - portable, easy to use, lightweight, sturdy
At home - takes up no space on your table like a laptop.
I instantly put windows 7 on this laptop via USB after a simple few procedures (format disk, add files!) the netbook was easily able to handle a USB installation, unlike MANY others. (It even works, tested, with iATKOS/hackintosh etc, yes, it's THAT compatible! especially with the intel chip). The original fedore is, okay, but quite lame.. like using a mobile phone really. Kinda useless. You can pay about £20 for a windows OS, if you're not so technically advanced.
My main point is, how great & fast this is for such a tiny machine, it's ridiculous. It has not yet crashed ONCE running high res windows 7 aero theme. Pushed quite hard infact with lots

Pros: Great HD Graphics. HDMI Support. Great Gameplay. Amazing multiplayer. Awesome Xbox Live experience (Very little server lag). Thousands of addons, challenges, unlockables, weapons, extras. Challenging, yet enjoyable campaign.
Cons: Frustrating at times. Extra maps are around £8 ($16 USD). Short campaign.
Bought this game a bit late, but got the "Game of the year edition" which means all of those online map downloads. FREE! Which i'm always happy with, me being a bit cheap XD. However! i went to the website to redeem my code to find (http://gameoftheyear.callofduty.com/) that they had "run out of tokens and were refilling" this was over a week ago now. and am really dissapointed they STILL haven't got it sorted.Anyways, enough of the bad side. On to the actual gameplay... One word; outstanding! Deserves the game of the year award, even if the maps dont work :@ no idea why i hadn't bought this game before! The online play is just as good as offline, if not better. Great clan mode to play with your crew. Fantastic array of game play modes, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch etc,etc (only ones i've played ^^). Easy to get into!
Would highly suggest anyone who has not yet bought this. DO! If you like GTA4, you will no doubt like this. The physics engine is quite alike with rag-doll systems and

Pros: - Amazing Graphics
- Outstanding Graphics Engine
- Great storyline, great gameplay
- Xbox Live
Cons: - The reactions on foot are a little slow (Slightly overly realistic)
- The cars have crap turning circles ?
- Sound volumes are not very good, you cannot hear the person talking on the other end of the phone often
Got this game today, after waiting a week for it over amazon. I payed £40, (approx. $80USD) The wait, was very much worth it! Ripped open the box, stuck it straight in. The xbox auto updated itself with some file, no idea what, but it seemed to require it.Anyways, the review, can be summed up in a one liner; "Oh my god .. wow .." I've been reading a lot of pre-reviews, and they seemed to say that it wasn't much to look out for. Absolute lies! this game truly is fantastic. Just read the pros, and compare them to the cons.
The graphics truly are outstanding, along with the graphics engine (general motion and realism) not only compared to San Andreas, this game competes with the top xbox/ps3 games. The storyline is also awesome! and best of all xbox live, which i hear is amazing, but i havent got mine set up yet *sobs*
Negatives of this game? My main concern is the sound volumes are a bit .. not thoought through, the car engine is overpowering (You can edit the SFX/Music vols.)
