    I've heard lots of good things about acer and I am now considering getting one. I'm not sure which is right for me so I was hoping someone could help me out.
    I want a 14" or less(12-13.3 is preferable) with a 2.0GHz or better C2D CPU(if it is available) with 1GB or better dual channel RAM, a 60-80 GB 7200rpm HD(if possible) a WSXGA or WUXGA screen, a DVDRW-CDRW drive, an ATI x1600 or better GPU(I'm leaning toward nVidea but am not set on them) and at least a 3yr full coverage warranty. I would like to get something as close to this as possible for $2000 or less(less is better)

    can anyone help me on this matter?
    I thank in advance all who reply.

    the best ACER notebook currently is Travelmate 8210.
    It's about 2100USD.
