AcerScan Prisa 640U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: At this this price, it's a great deal!

Cons: Doesn't scan legal documents

The Bottom Line: Heck, I would have bought the ScanButton software for $20. Another $30 bought me a much better scanner! This was an excellent deal!

Review: After many years of good service, I decided to replace our aged (3-pass, 300 dpi) Mustek Twain Scan Duo this Christmas with a scanner that would have a higher resolution. After checking out the clearance area at Egghead, I found the ACER 640U & a couple...

Pros: Inexpensive, Compatible, Configurable, Fast

Cons: Slightly steeper learning curve than some others

Review: When my first scanner of many years died a while back, I replaced it with a Hewlett Packard 3300c scanner. That's a mistake I soon decided to correct by purchasing the Acer 640u.

As a computer consultant, I am constantly exposed to the new...

Pros: Price, Win2k compatible, Easy install

Cons: Would be nicer if it had a larger scan area

Review: After purchasing a "cheap(er)" scanner which didn't have compatible drivers from for my new Windows 2000 OS, I settled on the Acer 640U for 3 reasons. First, it had drivers for Windows 2000. Also, the USB would make it easy to install (it...

Pros: Fast, USB connection, Inexpensive, Win2000 Compatible

Cons: Unusual, but potentially very useful underside of the cover

Review: I had been looking for a scanner to buy for several months before I decided to purchase this one.

There were a few things I was looking for:
1) Speed – once you start to use a scanner, you realize that speed is very important.
2)...

Pros: great dpi and color capabilities, low price

Cons: programs that go along with this scanner may freeze up on slower computers when scanning images with larger dpi

Review: I recently bought this scanner in anticipation of awakening myself to the unknown of scanner fun. Little did I know that I would be setting up one great scanner, worth the low cost that it was priced as. This scanner has great capacity.
The price I...

Pros: Easy to install and use

Cons: Need more desk space.

Review: I have just used this wonderful scanner. I was so surprised at the increased features that the folks at Acer have added. The ability to scan in 48 bit color is superb. I know that most users will not take advantage of this feature but if you are involved...

Pros: Good Quality scans, 48bit color depth, 19200dpi enhanced resolution.

Cons: Average speed and noise.

The Bottom Line: It was cheap, and for the price it's an excellent value.

Review: I bought the Acer ScanPrisa 640U months ago from Costco. It didn’t say if it supported Windows 2000 on the box, but I bought it anyways. It was the only scanner that advertised 48bit color (that’s 16bit R G B channels, most of the other scanners only had...

Pros: Affordable

Cons: Lack of features

Review: When I purchased a new computer, I decided to purchase it with a new printer and scanner. Before, I always had to borrow my brother's computer and scanner to scan some images to post in the internet. He was using also an Acer, so I decided to purchase...

Pros: Cheap, fast, good quality

Cons: a little too big, only USB supported

Review: The first thing that attracted me to this printer is the price. I bought it in Office Max for 29.99 (Before Tax, After Rebate). The only problem I have is the USB, which my old old PC does not have, but my laptop does support USB. Unfortunately, my...

Pros: Cheap

Cons: NO Instructions. Not user Friendly

Review: The old saying: "You get what you pay for” is very true when it comes to the Acer 640U flatbed scanner. I paid around 50.00 for this scanner with tax and the rebate figured in. I was on cloud nine thinking I was getting a great scanner for next to...
