I am looking to buy an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop. I have made up my mind about Acer so I need to know, what all comes with Acer laptops? Do they give you a copy of the OS? Any antivirus or anti spyware? Anything? The specs on this particular laptop are
AMD Turion 64 x2 processor
Windows Vista Home Basic
80 gig hdd
1gig ram
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 integrated graphics
14.1" crystalbrite widescreen
CD/DVD RW
5-in-1 card reader
Wireless Lan
Bluetooth
This model is without the Acer Orbicam. I am not buying it direct from Acer, but it will be brand new in the box from Wal-Mart. Can someone help

I own an acer 3680 and it is just right for my uses.
The operating system is in a hidden partition on the hard drive. the microsoft windows activation sticker is on the back of the laptop Access instructions are in the owners manual.
It comes with norton antivirus, but this is a paid subscrition after trial period. Best to get some thing free like AVG.
They also ship with acer ePower which has backup software, encryption software, network connection software, password software and acer ardcade which is used for pictures, videos, burning cds etc
I am on my Acer laptop right now and bought it this year. It came with NO crapware, thank goodness (crapware=trial software for things you don’t want like AOL or Earthlink). It did come with 90 Days Free from Norton Anti-Virus (it should specify this on your specific laptop’s information). No copy of the OS on a cd since you can make a backup by burning one to your own disc.
Be careful with Wal-Mart they are bastards………. REALLY
The computer comes pre-installed with the recent copy of windows unless it already specified
comes with your charger.
And
30 day trial of Norton Anti-virus (all new computers come with it)
90 day trial of Microsoft Office. Which you will have to buy at the end of the period so you can modify or write new things with word, outlook, excel ect….
Vista is not a really good idea….. many year old stuff still don’t work with it and you are going to buy newer stuff to get your jobs done if it doesn’t work.
ALL YOU GOOD . BEST
