My Aspire 5004 laptop has been going pretty strong for 2.5 years now with some pretty heavy use. It's been the most trouble-free computer I've ever lived with. But there are a few things that bug me. The lack of dedicated volume buttons is very annoying; changing the volume is a two-handed operation. Battery life is appalling. 45 minutes after I unplug it I'm getting a low battery warning. That's with it in 'power saving' mode and the monitor brightness so I can just barely see it.
If you're on a tight budget they're alright computers and I don't regret buying mine. But if you can spare the cash on a higher-end make I'd go for it. If I were in the market for another laptop I'd be looking into Toshiba.
