I bought this Laptop July 2007 from Taipei, Taiwan home of Acer. This laptop was then eventually released in Europe 1 year later!! Anyway this is a great laptop if your technically inclined. Originally I bought this laptop with a Nvidia 8400M G graphics card which was practially useless for playing modern games. However, since this laptop uses a MXM grahics card slot, I have been able to upgrade to an Nvidia 8600M GS which is about 2-3 times faster and can play games such as Far Cry 2 at medium settings. I since sold the 8400M G graphics card for more than the 8600M GS!

Above all the speed, graphics, storage and memory are far better than similarly priced laptops in Europe. The laptop is a bit heavy and a tad thick. If you buy this laptop from Asia as I did, you may only pay 75% of the cost in Europe. Therefore this is a real Bargain especially as it comes with all the extras:- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi & DVD-RW/CD-RW, Firewire, DVI, VGA, S-Video, IR, etc.
