    Hi, I'm new, I want to know you thoughts about this Laptop
    I'm planning to purchase it later tonight, and I would like some last minute feedback before I completely make my mind

    also I heard many people complain about acer but I also read some good reviews for this perticular laptop because it comes you apparently get a lot for your money. so if any of you have experience with this laptop or acer in general do you have any tips on how to take care of it, what are its weak points and how to overcome those. from what I've heard I am very scared of breaking the thing, I'm contemplating buying a usb keyboard just so I don't touch it too much.

    Edit : Also does anyone know where I can get this laptop cheaper with the same specs (online) or a better one for not much of a price difference.

    I just bought this same model for my daughter yesterday at Circuit City for $533 not including tax. So far I like the laptop, not bad for the price especially if you don't have alot to spend, nice features for the money. The touchpad is a bit touchy so you'll need to tweak its settings other than that I haven't found too much I didn't like about it. You can order online but they only have store pickup, no shipping. It was cheaper than Walmart. Here is the link:

    I just don't like the touch pad, buy a separate mouse.
