I find this laptop extremely pleasent, though I did upgrade it to 2GB of RAM to allow it to fully support Vista Home Basic. Though the harddrive is not as large as some would like at a mere 80GB, it is a budget laptop and is therefore designed to be used as a portable device for storing information on the go, not a workstation!
As it is an Acer laptop, it contains all of the acer quick keys on its keyboard, Acer GridVista (which can be used to simulate Aero!) and Acer Empowering Technology which is extremely useful for planning such things as battery usage and therefore changing the battery life.
It is a fairly standard laptop with DASP (Digital Anti-Shock Protection) and excellent wireless technology, though it does not support BlueTooth technology.
DASP is extremely useful in this as it naturally, due to the nature of such a product, can be "shocked" from time to time!
