Haven't got one myself...tried to get one but they're out of stock of the model I wanted...shame they don't bloddy well tell you it's out of stock on the site before you think you've 'bought' it!!!

I'd advise anyone personally to get a Centrino (Intel) or Turion (AMD) processor laptop over any other processor for a lappie as they're specced to use less power without having to hook up to mains...i.e for wireless networking etc in garden or wherever. If it doesn't bother you then don't worry An example is the battery life.....that spec says it'll be 1.5 hrs before it's dead....a Centrino one will last about 3.5. I have a Centrino Toshiba (Tecra M1) and that lasts about 3 hours in reality.

HTH a bit

PS I noticed on the site that you can upgrade the memory (Acer site not Comet) so it has free banks that you can fill (up to 2Mb) if you fancy going to Crucial and spending in the future
