    Heya all,

    I was looking around the Acer site, trying to find the notebook that is closest in specs to the HP zv5000z for comparison. The closest I could find, is either the Aspire 1350 or the Ferrari 3200(?). I don't see any options to customize these - are these set configs, or is there a place to customize the specs, that I'm just not seeing on the site?
    The specs of the zv5000z are as follows:
    Athlon XP-M or Athlon 64 CPU (from 2800 to 3700)
    15.0" or 15.4" screen
    256MB - 2GB ram
    64MB GeForce 440 Go video card (dedicated)
    40GB - 100GB HD
    DVD, Combo Drive, or DVD burner
    LAN, wireless, or wireless w/ Bluetooth
    8 or 12 cell Lithium Ion battery
    optional built-in floppy drive

    I am curious, from those that know, what Acer notebook is the closest to these specs, customizable, and where I could look at it to compare.


    Thanks a bunch - cheers,

    Stevo

    zv5000z: Ath64_3200+ (2.0GHz) - 1GB DDR - 80GB 5400rpm - 64MB GeForce4 440 - 15.0" XGA (1024x768)

    Closest to those specs with out a doubt would be the
    Acer Aspire 1521lmi http://www.google.com/search?a&q=1521lmi
    Acer Aspire 1521lci http://www.google.com/search?a&q=1521lci

    Problem is these notebooks are not officialy released yet!

    Best value I have yet seen so far in notebooks _bar none_ are the new Acer Aspire 1362lci and Acer Aspire 1362wlmi-xpp models. Pure Value built with Acers new Folio quality design/chassis.

    See: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php?page_id=13&sortby=popular-&vendors%5B%5D=ACE&popup10%5B%5D=40%3A276&popup10_attr_id%5B%5D=276&popup20%5B%5D=0&popup20_attr_id%5B%5D=976&popup30%5B%5D=0&popup30_attr_id%5B%5D=386&popup40%5B%5D=0&popup40_attr_id%5B%5D=384&popup50%5B%5D=0&popup50_attr_id%5B%5D=230&popup60%5B%5D=0&popup60_attr_id%5B%5D=415&popup70%5B%5D=0&popup70_attr_id%5B%5D=1157&popup71%5B%5D=0&lo_p=0&hi_p=0&form_keyword=&sortby=priceA

    Ferrari 3200 and soon 3400 is also a good choice but is a step above what you are comparing with. Though alittle more expensive they have incredible value. Missing no features.

    Acer however does not unlike HP/Compaq offer any notebooks with UXGA resolution or 12 Cell battery.

    Hope this helps!
