1 I am very satisfied.
I own this for 2 months and I am very satisfied. I had no problems and dvd runs and burns very well.
Battery runs up to 7 hours (no kidding, at low brightness)
Fast enough to do anything, 1gb ram is fantastic and 100 gig hard drive is awesome.
2 Stay Away from Acer
I bought a laptop from Acer, repeatedly had problems with the DVD drive. They told me to mail it back to them for repair. Then, they mailed it back to me untouched. Then, when I called them on it, they told me to mail it back again and be without it for yet another week. This is ridiculous. I'm filing charges in small claims court for the cost of the laptop.
