The only bad thing about it is the brand. Acer = bad.

Look for a Dell with similar specs. You'll find it much cheaper.

If you got a UK based site for these cheaper dell's could you link it, as most of the laptop's with these spec's cost about the same from what iv'e seen.

I was looking at the exactly the same Acer. Here it sells for 999 € which I find very reasonable. If Acer sux can someone post a similar laptop from Dell or Toshiba for same price?

Well, I'd look for you but I'd end up showing you USA prices which is irrelevant. All in all though, theres a reason acer laptops are so bloody affordable. Look for some toshiba satellites..

You'd have to do the converting of money and what not but eh.

I would also recommend getting a laptop that you can personally try out in person. You have no idea otherwise what the feel of it is going to be like. For years I refused to get a laptop cause I could never get along with the keyboards, I am now for the past month an owner of a lenovo and it's changed my opinion on laptops severely, of course lenovo will be the only one I'll buy now lol.

I've been having a look around, an performance wise, also slimmer design, an some of the review's i've looked at, also Leo's advice, this laptop is the one i'm going to get,

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4135

Going to upgrade the cpu to 2.4ghz, an get the upgrade for ram, from 3gig to 4gig,

one question, can the WXGA+(1440x900) do 1280x1024 resolution?

Thank's for any help in advance.

P.S. it's also 140 pound's cheaper than the Acer.
