    Hi,

    I have this exact laptop. Let me give you some advice. Avoid it! I have had to return mine, to Acer Repair, more times then anyone should have to, with a new laptop. I have had to have my HDD replaced twice, memory 3 times and it is now in the shop, because of video problems.

    Save your money and look at another brand of laptop. Best Buy, where I bought mine, now has a Gateway on sale that I wished I had waited and purchased. The Gateway has a larger HDD as well and is the same price and hopefully better tech support then Acer.

    Just wanted to give you a heads-up on what you might be facing, if you buy this model.
