    Is this a good deal to follow?

    What video card does it use? I know it is intergrated card, but do you know it is a ATI 200M or Intel one?

    Does it have IEEE1394 port?

    Thanks

    Seems like it, the only others which comes close to the specifications of this would be the Compaq V2000z. Bestbuy is selling one for $899 and CC for $799, but both are 14" screens and have the best integrated graphics cards.

    Its neither ATi or Intel. It uses SiS Mirage 2 graphics card based on the SiS M760GX chipset. They are more or less in the same range as Intel Extreme graphics. Not good for gaming and some intensive graphics but are more than enough for DVD's and general use.

    No. For more technical spec...check the acer website...
