Cons:
-so many leds all over that seems a christmas tree even when turned off.
-the buttons below the touchpad are a good example of awful design
-the palm rest is perhaps too wide (I have to take out my watch to type, it's annoying)
-it comes with vista preinstalled :)]]>Oct 5th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/acer-trots-out-aspire-8930-6930-5735-and-4730-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/04/acer-trots-out-aspire-8930-6930-5735-and-4730-laptops/Maybe they have improved the cinedash......

Acer makes a very good laptop, some are even CPU-expandable, but the battery life is often far less than what you'd expect. The Aspire series, specifically, only had about 100 minutes of usable WiFi with a decent LCD brightness. For this reason alone, I tend to choose Dells or HPs with expanded batteries. The corp Dells (Latitudes) are very good in this arena.

These laptops looks gorgeous though. Compare their pricing with Sony's AW Vaio laptops and you'll get a better appreciation of how inexpensive these Acers really are.

Maybe the graphics are options that cost more? Someone help me out here - $700 is my sweet spot for a lappy, and I want a graphics chip that can at least handle FEAR and Doom3 engines and below.

I might buy a wind or eee for classes along with this.
