I have bought this excellent machine for £ 400 new,it is the cheaper version with 60 gb hd and 512 mb RAM. All I can say is by far the best machine I could find for £ 400 anywhere,as it is a Centrino Duo machine. I have bought an additional 512 mb of PC 4200 RAM at a ridicolous price too,so now my laptop has a whopping 1 gb of ram too. It feels really fast in performance,and best of all,it runs cool and is quiet! Ok,so the casing is not exactly magnesium alloy like £ 1200 laptops,but who cares,for £ 400 is still the best specced laptop around....usually with that kind of money you get a Celeron laptop,this one blows these out of the water. It performs demanding tasks like video and music editing,with ease. And I have even bought a 3 years guarantee for a mere £ 50. If you are looking for a great workhorse and you can\'t afford to spend £ 700-1000, this one should definely be on top of your list. The only thing I truly hate is the fact that Acer supplies these machines with their drive image. No drivers are supplied,and if you want to install a different OS as I did,you have to work it out for yourself.
