    Hi there,
    I'm pretty set on the Acer 3810T after going through all the reviews.

    Still couple of questions to clarify though:

    1) SU3500 + ATI HD 4330 better than SU9400?
    My usage would be web surfing, office apps, music/movie playback, 0 gaming.
    I tend to multitask, open many tabs when browsing, plus run several apps at one-go etc.

    2) Can I easily replace the HDD with a SSD and will it support the 2.5inch SLC ones?

    3) Are there official 9 cell batts for this model out yet?

    Many thanks in advance for your help :)

    1) The SU9400 is probably better in that case; as long as 'zero gaming' is resolute. (lol, don't mind my incorrect usage of the word) :/

    Managed to get the following config quoted (3810TG):

    - SU9400
    - 4GB DDR3
    - ATI HD 4430
    - 500G SATA
    US$1k

    Reasonable?
