    I'm new to this website.

    I've been researching Notebooks for about 2 weeks and have finally found the perfect notebook in both design and function for my needs and taste. It is the Acer 20xx series. As I understand its been discontinued in the USA, I'm willing to order internationally. But I can't find a vendor who ships to the USA that carries this notebook.[B)] I'd like to order this immediately. Does anyone know how I can get it?
    or
    Does anyone know of a suitable alternative?

    Please help! [V]

    Hey Ziptar,

    This is what I found:
    Acer Aspire 2023WLMi Notebook Computer (P-M 1.6GHz/512MB/60GB/15.4" TFT/Wireless/XP Home) 814.95 GBP (1517.41USD)

    Also purchased the Extended Warranty for Acer Notebooks - 3 Year Collect & Return WITH Accidental Damage 69.00GBP (128.00USD)
    Subtotal 1645.41(USD)
    Shipping 39.38(USD)
    Total 1648.79(USD)
    (Yay! No tax!)

    Unfortunately the vendor I'm purchasing from does not carry the 2026Wlmi.
    I figured I could live without the minor upgrades.

    Well, I didn't purchase the Acer 2023wlmi

    The company was gonna charge me almost $200 in shipping charges.

    However if anyone is interested, the Acer 2023WLMi is available here:
    http://www.rlsupplies.co.uk/products/product.asp?id=3418

    But the shipping is a killer[B)]. Plus my bank was charging $50 for the wire transfer.

    Paying over $2000 for this laptop was more than I planned and decided I could get the new Dell 6000 for that price.

    Anyone recommend a Laptop that is as nice looking and feature rich?
    My main concerns are 15.4"LCD, 512mb, 60gb, Low-heat, nice battery life, and most of all.. GOOD LOOKING! I love the metal casings! (preferably silver/steel)

    Well, I just bought a 2012wlmi off of e-bay from a lady for $1200 (I guess its a lady, I don't know)

    Its used, but no damage/scratches.

    I've been finding inconsistent pictures of the 2012 though, some look like the 202x series, and some pictures look like the models without the frontside media controls. I prefer the front side media controls...but for this price I think I'll be happy regardless.

    I'm confident that Acer makes a solid laptop from reading the posts.

    Anyone know about the 2012?[:0]
