    Acer 8371/3810 Owners Thread

    This is the exact oposite of my experience. I also bought from IT247 and only had my email confirmation. My backlight stopped working the week before the warranty ended and I rang them up and told them the date of purchase - they said that was different to what was on their system and that they...

    Acer 8371/3810 Owners Thread

    After a bit of advice. Had my TM8317G since start of last Dec. Just turned it on today and noticed that just the bottom left is darker than the rest of the screen. I can see the start button but it's just darker than the rest of the screen. Is this part of the backlight that's stopped working?

    13.3" laptop please

    Just ordered a 8371 thanks to this! Glad I saw this as I was going to get a netbook but for the small amount extra this'll be way better! Quick question about Win7 - my missus is a student so can get an upgrade version cheap. If I get a 64bit upgrade will it have the option to do a fresh install?

    Advice on new drives please!

    I'm looking to buy two new drives - most probably 1T in size. I'm not looking for performance but reliability as I want to run them mirrored for backing up. Reason being I've got about 5 years worth of photos, MP3s, vids etc that I'm useless at backing up. I'm not so bothered at backing up the...

    Sorry to bring up an old topic but what high street shops sell IPA as I could do with some today. The only other thing I have is lighter fluid but I'm guessing this isn't as good?

    Right I'm still abit stuck between two monitors, the Q17 and the View Sonic pannel. The things I want to know are: Which is better for DVD as I will be using it for this? Is there a great difference for games if any at all as some will be played? Which has the better viewing angels if I'm...
