          Please make sure that all drivers are available for xp, a friend of mine got rid of vista on his acer, and we could never get a driver for the integrated webcam, so it's back to vista again. BTW (LA acers have this issue with the headphone jack not working, but it's on any os, even vista)

            Thankfully brands like dell and lenovo use common parts so you can find the drivers.

              I didn't get the webcam. Have no use for it. I went fairly no-frills.

                I have a sony sz... I paid more for it than I did my e30... And it was money well spent.

                Its got two different graphics cards, a geforce go7400, and the intel 950, flip a switch and restart, you go from 3.5 hours of battery to playing battlefield. And when I'm done playing battlefield, its small & light enough that I can hide it in my anus...

                Glorious.

                Congrats on your new purchase!

                  I've got a Clemson Unversity recommended IBM Thinkpad T43 that has given me no troubles for 3 years so far and I really like it. I'm not really into computers, so I'll spare the specs on this puppy.

                    I recommend IBM Thinkpad (Lenovo). Performs really good! Toshiba is also great. Circuit City was selling $499 - Toshiba Dual Core 1GB memory 100GB HDD, Reads & Writes CD & DVD.

                    I never liked Dell Desktops and Notebooks. Good as trash after 3.5 to 4 years.

                      Don't plan on keeping it that long before I upgrade again. And yours is one of the few I've heard about Dell laptops being no good. I know TONS of people with Dell laptops that swear by them and have had them for a long time. My system came out to $959 shipped with all of the specs listed above.

                        just my opinion. ive used different laptops provided by different companies ive worked. ive used 3 to 4 yr old DELL desktop and laptop and performs really poor. ive used 3 to 4 yr old Toshiba and IBM and it was good. but then again, its for your own use, your choice.

                          dell's business stuff is awesome, and the support is excellent. i've been running several of their boxes and laptops for 5+ years or so, they come out same day or next day, everything is overnighted, and luckily the call center for business is still based in the US. oh well screw globalization.

                              I got a Compaq Nc8000 and I love it. I don't like dells.... I have yet to see one with a fully functioning keyboard.

                              I also think intels mobile technology is a lot better and AMDs. I always stick to intel for laptops.
