Finally Acer is joining Dell in recalling 27,000 of the Sony made batteries for its laptop, Affected models include a slew of TravelMate and Aspire notebooks sold between May 2004 and November 2006, as usual the company will replace the battery for free and this would likely be a big blow to Sony and its battery division again.

Check the official Acer Battery Exchange Program for the list of batteries that might be affected, my Acer laptop was not affected. Thank God!

Acer Aspire 9424 driver Laptop

This is what I bought the other day, an Acer Aspire 9420, comes with 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB Kingston Ram, 160GB Hitachi Harddisk, 1.3mp webcam, DVD Burner, WiFi, Bluetooth, Nvidia GeforceGo 7300 and it has a 17 inch wide screen LCD. This laptop cost me USD1,350.00 and hopefully it has a lifespan of 3 years. I have to admit that Acer is not my first choice, I have my eyes on Toshiba for quite sometime but Toshiba is expensive. Wish me luck! I’m off continuing my studies in Australia.

p.s. This Laptop does not come with a system CD, is this normal? I mean the book says if I want to restore to default factory settings, I am required to press a few buttons before the system boot into windows and restore it to default settings ( aka format c drive ), is this normal? Is this how they format a Laptop?
