I disagree with the Acer.  I had one for about a hear.  Worked fine for about 9 months.  Then, within 3 months of each other, the hard drive, battery, and motherboard all failed.  Had to replace the thing.  It was disaster. Now, I've got a decent Gateway laptop, and I really like it. No problems, durable, its pretty fast (except i recommend XP instead of Vista, Vista's a bit slow on this box). -- Posted by Azumi at 1:32 pm on April 25, 2008 I had an Acer, an old Pentium 3..about 4 years ago, it was nice little laptop, solid, and quiet. Only trouble it gave me was the CD-RW drive went out, 40$ fix, and thats it. I had it since it was new, in 1998. Go for Acer, but if you want to spend a little bit more.. an Apple is worth it... Cause Vista sucks! xD
