CNET Review
The Good: Very low price; dual-core processor; full feature set, including an ExpressCard slot and S/PDIF audio-out jack; comfortable keyboard; easy-to-use system management software.
The Bad: Slow performance on outdated components; display wobbles easily; glossy screen finish results in distracting reflections; lacks external media controls.
The Bottom Line: We recommend the Acer Aspire 4710 for home users who want a low-cost laptop for basic computing tasks.
