I have purchased this laptop on Dec-12-09 as initially I was confused and lost how could a laptop can have so many options at such a reasonable price.
But guys as I was looking out for similarities and start comparing to the odds of this Acer laptop looking very good, and thats because of good look and lot of options with good facilities inside it likes of RAM, HDD, Processor, DVD-RW and plenty of options like touchpad screen and thumbnail option and use of keypad - but keypads that aint good to work on as compared to with IBM and moreover it has got builtin camera, built in speakers, built in wireless connectivity with 802.11, volume up and down controls. and ease in carrying when you carry it you will not know - you are carrying a laptop or bag. Its not that much heavy or too small to carry like a notebook. Overall rating and performance I will suggest it is good to buy and affordable to work on both LINUX and WINDOWS.
