that's true

tink for thread starter it might be worth the trouble to look for a cheap acer laptop? do look out for whether 3 years warranty is offered... standard is 1 yr but during some promotions might offer 3 years

Bro... I am using it now as i am typing... Quite okay... Using it for my school work and leisure too... Not much problem face... Just that it get quite hot very fast...

I am also using that kind of model of notebook for my personal use. It’s been with me for 5 months. I also purchased the 3 years warranty and memory upgrade (1GB). I know still considered new but still going steady and the speed and performance is above my expectation for what I paid for.

Seems like this is the only model for an ACER for about the same price. but the specs seems quite far off. hmm... i hate "hot laptops"

Acer

there isn't really a cool or cold laptop around.....

for the so-much power numer crunching and videoing, and sounding, multimedia, its expected the thing do run hot.

as long as its not boiling an egg its ok.

Best chk the power lifespan, its the main ingredient of the laptop.

most ppl overlook this feature. The min is 3 hours (old tech, quality, used-up, and old standard)

one should expect about 5 hours continual using (not multi-media intensive)

That's why called it now notebook not laptop coz the heat it produced is no longer advisable to put in your lap.

heard from friend that dell after service is not positive (not personal opinion). get acer if u not worry about the quality, heard from a shop acer after sales is fantastic, but i think acer price is higher, not too sure.

me using toshiba, cost me 2 legs and an arm
