    Hi

    Me again. Are these notebooks customizable. Currently come with 1.73Gh Centrino CPU (Euro version has 2Gh); 512 RAM (Euro 1G), etc. Can we get a retailer or even Acer to have these customized??
    Just asking, thanks,
    SL

    I think, not. However HDD is easy to replace (as I read).
    TM 3004 - 2.0 GHz
    TM 3003 - 1.86 GHz
    TM 3002 - 1.73 GHz
    TM 3001 - 1.6 GHz

    Acer's unfortunatley can't be customized. It is a good thing in a way, because it helps keep cost down.

    So How do we get these in the US? 3003 or 4? Have not seen them on the market place? And Acer site not have this laptop on their selling list?

    Thanks,
    SL

    I think you'll get a bigger performance increase upgrading the hard drive than a faster CPU.

    I don't think you will notice the speed difference between a 3004 and a 3002. Unless you use 100% cpu apps like 3dstudio max or something. The memory can be upgraded, just like the HD. If you do, you have a 3004 for 98%.
