Question from fi: Asked on 14/09/2008 I'm looking for laptop for a part time business uni course and also for photos, internet and i-tunes- on a budget. Would you recommend this one? I would mostly be using word and excel, are these included or purchased separately?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 15/09/2008
This is an excellent laptop for the basics and will do all of the tasks you mentioned. Microsoft office comes as a trial on the machine but for permanent use you would need to purchase it separately.

Question from Lucy: Asked on 08/09/2008 I have two more questions about the Trial version of MS Office 2007.
1. If I want to buy the full version when the trial runs out, am I restricted as to how I must do this? For example would I have to use a particular supplier (perhaps Microsoft itself) and would I only be sold one license instead of three. Or, am I free to buy the retail version (with its three licenses) from you, for example?
2. How much of the software has been installed in the trial version?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 09/09/2008
When the trial runs out you can buy whatever copy you'd like to get going again such as the three license version we sell. The trial is generally the full office suite.

Question from Lydia: Asked on 27/08/2008 If I bought this laptop, would i need to buy a microsoft office package or could i just run it on the Home Vista all the time and still get things like word?

Microsoft Vista is an operating system which is there so you don't need to type code into the computer to get it to work. Microsoft office is a separate software package so would need to be bought.

Question from Ravz: Asked on 16/08/2008 How long does the trail version for Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic last? After the trail version is finished, do we need to buy Microsoft office 2007 for 99.97 to access word, excel etc or will the basic version continue running.

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 30/07/2008
Most acer laptops come with Acer eRecovery software, which allows you to create a 'Recovery Disc' or 'Recovery Partition' which you can then use to re-install the OS from scratch. This 5315 includes this software as standard.

Question from Roon3y: Asked on 19/07/2008 HI, Can you upgrade(after sales) this model?
Bigger hard drive?
Extra RAM? What is the maximum RAM you can add?
Can i add bluetooth and HDMI ports?
Add a graphics card?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 21/07/2008
The RAM can be upgraded to 2GB after sales, the hard-drive can be upgraded but this will void the warranty (so we do not offer this service). Bluetooth functionality can be added via a bluetooth USB dongle, and unfortunately it is not possible to add HDMI ports. The graphics card is integrated into the mainboard and can not be upgraded.
