PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Moderator edit

ORIGINAL OWNER- I bought this NEW in 2008. Used with care and one of the most reliable laptops I have ever owned. CPU heatsink re greased (to run cooler) in 2011 and has sat in the box since 2012, when I bought another Acer laptop and netbook and upgraded my equipment. Laptop performs very well.

Originallly loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Pro - in the process the BIOS read the CD/DVD drive, but it failed to function as it did under Vista. It may be coincidental but the CD/DVD DRIVE DOES NOT WORK. I installed drivers and reloaded everything else and used the laptop minus internal DVD and bought an external one. Can be found cheap on eBay or at a local computer shop who will install it. Minor issue of the mic jack in the front of the unit. Does not work. The other plugs work fine. Workaround is a USB headset. The mic built in next to the Crystalbrite camera works perfectly

Those are the ONLY TWO ISSUES this laptop has.

Also, this unit is sold WITHOUT the HARD DRIVE nor the AC ADAPTER (I will fully charge the battery prior to shipping) INCLUDED are the ORIGINAL RECOVERY DISKS. Many quality features

BONUS OVER 30K - BOOTABLE 8gb Kingston DATA TRAVELER USB drive with MSDOS.

If you have questions, feel free to ask. This unit will be shipped in it's original boxes. IF BIDS EXCEED 50k - FREE SHIPPING.INCLUDING INS & TRACKING

MAJOR FEATURE - FIREWIRE port and an S-JACK port - which enables you to directly hook up and control various video equipment for direct capture and control.

what if you aren't verified but have some positive feedback?

Jan 15th, 2014 at 4:30:23 PM PST by

I do not like having to restrict my auctions - but - I have had too many negative experiences with unverified members on this site, both buyers and sellers, and if a person isn't willing to put forth the effort and establish themselves here, I see no reason to engage in doing business with them, especially high ticket items like this where purposeful bidders lose to people inclined to not complete the transaction. So as not to waste my or anyone elses time and until Listia changes policy and makes verification a requirement to bid, I will use and adopt the policy of eBay. Simple as that - it's nothing personal. Thanks for your question.

Jan 17th, 2014 at 11:46:07 AM PST by

Me again. I looked at duggy123's listings and I think I found out why he is your troll. He is auctioning computers as well and probably considers you as his competition. You need to flag the guy's user name, flag his comments and follow up with a report to Listia's Customer Service. I will assist with the flags as well.

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:22:00 PM PST by

Thank you for the help. You'd think that there is plenty of room for everyone to offer similar items - because there can be only one winner. And where does that leave everyone else? I don't understand why a man of his age hasn't gotten that.. Perplexing!

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:31:51 PM PST by

Great auction, I have the 5315 model Aspire which is very similar to this one (Just a bit more budget oriented). They are very easy to work on for the tech-initiated as I upgraded mine to specs similar to this one. Plus very reliable as laptops go. Good luck and good bidding.

Jan 21st, 2014 at 5:59:07 AM PST by

Thanks for the vote! Yep, this should definitely make someone quite happy - a solid product!

Jan 21st, 2014 at 8:01:59 AM PST by

Hey there - I briefed through the comments and did not find an answer -
Your listing header states - FREE SHIPPING
BUT
you have $20.00 flat rate....??? Which is it? Perhaps...... this is part of the confusion and why the bids are so low coming in on 24hrs left.
Please advise - Tanks

Jan 23rd, 2014 at 3:38:22 PM PST by

If bids exceed 50k - free shipping.including ins & tracking

Jan 23rd, 2014 at 4:03:17 PM PST by

Wow that is so retarded! You dont like his auction move on its not that hard, your ranting and raving isnt going to make him change his rules it just makes you look stupid!

On a brighter note great auction! So the charger is not included?

Jan 17th, 2014 at 7:16:09 PM PST by

Thanks for your supportive comment! ANd no, sorry, I cannot find it or the manuals, but if by auction end I've found them, it will be included. Just don't want to promise something I'm not sure I can deliver.

Jan 17th, 2014 at 8:56:18 PM PST by

I was referred to this auction from a very good, very intelligent, very reliable friend. She said this was a good deal. My advice to you about the negative spammer person is to report them to listia. If once doesn't work, do it again. You should not have to deal with his/her harrassment. Listia can tell if you follow through on your auctions (and I have no reason to believe you don't) and proceed with the other person accordingly. Just a thought. Oh, by the way, I am watching. Is there any way you could install a hard drive for more credits or $$ before shipping? The reason is there are very few qualified people in my area (small and very rural) so it might be an issue for me to get a hard drive installed. I have windows 7 recovery discs myself and might be able to do that part but am a bit of a tech naive person. I looked to see if it has wireless capabilities but didn't see any mention of that but could have missed it...thanks!

Jan 22nd, 2014 at 4:08:52 PM PST by

This laptop has dual antennas inside (SignalUp) for superior WIFI transmission and reception where most laptops only have one antenna. See Specifications here: http://multi.gnt.lt/Pages/brochures/Acer/AS5720Zqs.pdf

As for installing the hard drive and cd/dvd drive - I would suggest a local computer shop for that. You can purchase these items on eBay very inexpensively (Buy It Now) - the links are in the UPDATE #2 above. You don't have to buy the items from the computer shop to have them install it for you. It would be the most convenient way if you cannot do it yourself.

I can do this for you, (as a last resort alternative) POST auction and AT COST via a prepaid Paypal invoice I would send you, I would install a temporary Win7 operating - which gives you some time to activate it with your valid Win7 product key. But this would delay delivery to you by the amount of time it takes for me to receive the items from eBay, and have it set up. IF YOU WIN this laptop and this is the alternative you choose, I would be happy to provide you my telephone # and discuss it further.

I hope this was helpful.

Jan 24th, 2014 at 4:27:26 AM PST by

Yea I got an email from that guy too, this is the third time someone contacted me to tell me not to bid on an item I don't see what you gain from it, are you hoping to get it cheaper? but wouldn't you expect to get blocked? or is it an "if I can't have it no one can" attitude? Seriously?

Jan 24th, 2014 at 1:03:33 PM PST by

I know! It's ridiculous, isn't it? In a perfect world, everyone would be happy for others, rather than just seek happiness for themselves. That selfishness is at the root of most conflicts people have with each other. Fairness and honesty go a long way. Some people grow older and wiser - and some grow old and celebrate anniversaries of being a 10 year old - throwing tantrums in creatively new ways. Hope you're having a great day!

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:01:19 PM PST by

I am so glad that I clicked on your auction. I am just browsing and do not wish to bid on your product. I just don't need it. I am glad I landed here because I found duggy123, the troll, and have blocked him. I will advise my cousin to do the same. (We share whom we block.) I've enjoyed reading your professional, businesslike, literate posts. I strive to be just as professional and would like to see many more sellers follow your example. Kudos for good business acumen.

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:15:48 PM PST by

Thank you so very much for the vote of confidence. I just try to do the best I can. Thanks again! ;-]

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:21:03 PM PST by

WOW so many comments I have just a quick shipping question wouldn't it be cheaper to ship priority mail medium box is only $12.35 & then I believe its less that $2.00 for tracking unless it does not fit then totally understand

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:20:17 PM PST by

Actually, no. This item is being shipped in its original boxes mainly because it fits and is secure with virtually no chance of being damaged. I doubt of trying to fit everything in the box the USPS provides for $12.35 would prove wise. But thanks for the fair question. One more thing, due to the weight of this item, I am pretty sure that the shipping cost will be a bit more than $20 - and I'm willing to spend the difference in the U.S. For Canada, (I don't have much experience sending items there) I would have to get the exact shipping, though I did not include international as a shipping option for that reason.

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:28:52 PM PST by

To help you understand why duggy123 is a troll, some people thrive on drama. They are natural-born malcontents. They aren't happy with themselves; therefore, they wish to take others down with them into their sinkhole. I've been selling online for over 15 years. I will not fall prey to such people. When they try to generate an argument, I state that, "This is my last post to you." I state my opinion in a businesslike fashion, then live up to my promise...no more contact. They get frustrated without another comment from me then move elsewhere where they can rant and rave.

Jan 24th, 2014 at 9:36:29 PM PST by

Exactly... I blocked him after his last comment. That's why we're talking about him and not to him. To me, the consolation is in the belief of the Karmatic effect people like this ultimately experience. Best described in Dante's inferno - paraphrasing " Heaven is too good for them, and Hell won't even take them in - for they mattered so little as not to be worthy of either - let's move on and think of them not" After the initial annoyance like a fly on a horses tail - this works for me. But I get it. And I appreciate your empathy. I'm sure someone will see the value of this item and despite the hiccup - will bid it up fairly. You rock!

Jan 24th, 2014 at 10:00:51 PM PST by

Your troll is in purgatory. I wish you luck on this auction. Thanks for your kind comments.
