Acer Aspire 1520 has no right-side associations at all. Lefties will appreciate having the altered DVD-RW drive, Firewire port, and two PC Card spaces on the left half of the laptop. The various associations are on the back.
The Aspire 1520 is not the best hopeful for continuous travel. It's a thick and substantial laptop that measures just about 2 inches tall and weighs 7.7 pounds (9.5 pounds including the force connector). In any case, its a good looking dark and silver unit with a decent touchpad-prepared console, including a four-way parchment and four application alternate way catches. Memory and capacity are upgradable - you don't even need a screwdriver to evacuate the hard drive, which sits behind the battery.
Acer's Aspire Arcade application, a Microsoft Media Center-like interface that peculiarities a basic CD player application and easy routes to DVD copying and feature altering applications, adds some media panache to the 1520. Sadly, the notebook has feeble stereo speakers and needs committed music- or DVD-playing catches. You even need to alter the volume with keystroke consolidations.
