    Need a decent laptop for small home based business, unit will be travelling with me but weight is not an issue (I do prefer a larger screen for these old eyes).
    Found an Acer AS7720-6155 17" at a clearance center but can't find any reviews or comparisons to match it against the market.
    Is this an older unit? Are there other comparible units available? etc.
    Any help or info is appreciated - Thanks!

    Thanks for the assist!
    Just a little while ago I located www.retrevo.com and found some good info on their site, I'm guessing that this unit is too new for much input as yet.....
