    Hey,

    I recently sent in my laptop, TravleMate 8205 WLMi for a fourth time for the same problem and demanded for a replacement laptop. Short story, lines were displayed across the screen at random and would refresh when I either 1) moved the lid or 2) tap the back of the screen.

    Acer lady was really nice and phoned me back the following day saying they located 2 laptops that can replace my F***** one. The TravelMate 8210-6880 or the Ferrari 5005WLMi. I looked at the specs and I think the TravelMate 8210-6880 > Ferrari 5005WLMi given that the 8210 has Core 2 Duo and AMD seems to be "Hoovering" (inside joke) compared to Intel. I get an upgrade from T2600>T7200, 120GB>160GB, and DDR-533>DDR-667. So yeah, just an opinion would be nice but I think I've narrowed my selection. Try and Change my mind.

    Cheers.
