thing about buy this acer

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115226

But I have some questions. does the unit ship with a window install cd? I will need to switch it to NTFS, and unpartion the hard drive. How is the battery life. Do you think this notebook will work good for international travel, from jungles to desserts.

thanks

I guess you didn't check the review section: http://www.notebookreview.com/revie...lastBrandID=1&currentPage=0&callingPage=&cmd=

If you are worried about durability in such extreme conditions get a Panasonic Toughbook but that will set you back close to 4K. Unit ships with Windoze cd

 

there are more detailed states on http://www.best-price.com/procSyste...cat=computer?gclid=CLKnydDeh4UCFRvqJAodyFYFIA and if you don't want to check it says it will get about 3.5 hours battery life and my acer shiped with a recovery cd and it was a cheap one.

good luck

 

You don't need to have the window cd to switch to ntfs. Do a find in windows help for converting to ntfs and it will walk you thru.

You can delete the logical partition thru disk management.
