Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5602WLMi

70% Can performance come on the cheap?
Source: Pocket Lint
If you’ve ever tried buying a notebook from PC World or even Dixons on the high street, then you’ll have come across Acer notebooks. True, they aren’t the most attractive machines you’ll see, being little more than grey boxes for the most part but the company has the knack of filling the box with the latest technology at a price hat’s hard to ignore. If you ignore the rather poor battery life of the Acer Aspire 5602WLMi, what you have is a great machine for the family. It’s powerful, well specified and at the price will more than satisfy most buyers.
