LaptopMag reviews the Acer Aspire 5102WLMi, they write:
“One of the more interesting features of the 5102WLMi is the Acer Gridvista Extension utility, which enables you to view multiple open windows or applications by allowing you to see through them. For example, if you’re working on a report and need to view a Web page at the same time, you can make a Word document transparent so you can see the information on the page behind it. While this is a very cool feature, we would have liked the ability to adjust the level of transparency.”

NotebookReview reviews the Acer Aspire 5102WLMi, they rated the laptop 3/5 and write:
“The screen is one of the best I’ve seen on a notebook. It is bright and evenly illuminated. After just 4 days with the notebook, I noticed 2 dead pixels, which isn’t enough for a replacement. They are off in the corner and are not bothersome, but even one dead pixel is cause for concern as to the overall long-term quality of the notebook. The screen has a 16 ms response time, although I haven’t noticed a difference compared with 20 ms flat panel monitor performance. Talking about flat panels, the Acer doesn’t formulate characters (i.e. letters) as well as desktop monitors. While some people complain about the glossiness of most laptops these days, I have found the screen on my Acer to be comfortable for long viewing durations.”
