    So, where can I get discontinued Acer notebooks?

    I am in search of a good notebook and I've noticed that a lot of notebooks for Acer on American sites are discontinued. I looked through the posts here and a lot of people recommended looking at other countries sites that also ship internationally.

    My only fear is that if I buy online from an international reseller, the electric outputs will not be the same (voltage-wise).

    I am currently looking for an Acer Aspire 2020 laptop, or it's variants. If there's one similar to the 2020 but available to buy in the U.S., please let me know. If not, I may resort to international buying, but I need to know what I'm getting into here if there's any risks.

    I am interested in these features found on these laptops:
    - Weight ( < 7 is preferable, but < 8 is tolerable)
    - Radeon 9700 Mobile

    All the other features are nice too, and it's very hard to find a laptop with the same specifications as the Acer Aspire 2000 series.

    Thanks,

    Oh, alright. So it sounds like if I buy an Acer laptop internationally, I won't have a problem using it in the US.

    Thanks :)
