I have an Acer. It works perfectly. the only thing is that i had to convert my harddrive formats. The main thing is that you want your processor to be powerful enough to quickly open and run programs. I recommend one with a processor like the AMD Turion 64. I don't have that much RAM, but the processor makes everything run super fast!

I was think more of the lines of duo core. Tested one out and it is a fast processor. Cost is reasonable but gotta wait unitl it's cheaper. I heard that Acer's are actually fairly cheap and reliable and that was actually one of my considerations.

Yes, they are quite good. Duo core is very very nice also. But like you said, the cost is the issue. One thing that I like about mine is that Acer gave me a really big screen for really really cheap! It's great for watching asian movies/dramas! However, i don't recommend getting an LCD monitor like mine for the sole reason that you can't view it that well from different angles.

It depends on what you are going to use the laptop for. Is it for gaming? Is it for school?

yes i have one. bought it for school, but know use it at home more then the desktop

i only hv desktop pc. but planning to get one, probably a macbook pro

I own a MacBook which is nice, since it can dual boot Windows XP or Mac OSX. The price may be a bit higher than other laptop. You get the best of both worlds

Sweeet, I own a MacBook too its quite the awesome if I may say so.
