Acer Aspire 1302X - Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4 GHz - 14.1" TFT

Advantages: Fast, Light and sleek
Disadvantages: None so far!

...Compared to my old 333Hz desktop, this machine goes like the wind! In my opinion it is a fast, reliable and ultimately portable computer with all the features you would expect from a normal desktop PC. Spec is as follows:- Mobile AMD Athlon™ XP processor 1400+, 14.1" XGA TFT display, 128MB SDRAM, 20GB HDD, 24x CD-ROM, wired LAN 10/100, 56Kbps modem, Ni-MH battery, Microsoft® Windows® XP Home The 1.4 GHZ processor makes it fast enough for any home or office applications and it is good at multitasking.

Advantages: Bigger viewable screen
Disadvantages: Battery life a bit short

...Latest laptop from acer featuring a 17 inch screen suitable for all people using large applications like photoshop and corel draw and windows xp home edition mainly those with heavy workloads.

This is a very inetresting thing for everyone as it can back up 20 times more than a standard floppy and your data will be much saver. Acer is one of the first companys to come up with a 17 inch screen, the laptop itself is a bit heavy due to the larger screen but a pleasent to have and to work on as my friend has one....
