    Hey everyone,

    When I first saw the laptop I was amazed to see how many good
    things I'm getting included in the package: 1gb ram, X700 256MB,
    1.7 processor, 80gb hd, wifi, bt, ir, and more...

    The price is a bit high for me - about $1700.
    I'm wondering if to go for this laptop cause I want to buy something
    for the future - for the long run, and if this laptop is a recommendation then I'll invest a few hundred bucks more and get it.

    As I see it, I either buy something as best as I can get (which as
    far as I've seen it's this laptop- 1692) or something in the very low-budget area like the following HP:

    HP DV5084
    Mobile AMD Turion 64 2Ghz 1Mb Cache
    512Mb ram 333 DDR (up to 2gb)
    Display 15.4 1280x800
    ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP 128MB Dedicated
    80GB 4200RPM IDE
    DVD-R
    Card reader, wifi, ethernet + all the ususal ports
    Weight is 2.9kg


    I would like to have your opinion on the Acer 1692 laptop for the
    long run- like the build quality, the parts relaiability, battery life-time
    and more...


    Thanks.
