So I am looking to purchase a laptop and came across this ACER at newegg.com .... it's an amazing deal if you ask me..
Anyone know of any better deals than this?

One other question, does Pentium M assure wireless connectivity throughout the house if you have a cable modem? Or does the laptop need Wireless LAN 802.11b as well?
Thanks guys.;) |

decent?
do you even know what a pentium M processor is?
this laptop is a bargain... pentium M is an amazing processor most people don't know what it's capable of... even at 400fsb the performance is huge... I've seen benches of PM @ 2.4Ghz and the only thing that rivals it is AMD's athlon 64 FX (which by the way costs around a grand for the processor only)
all that while it consumes 3x less power and puts out way less heat
and oh yeah the battery life on pentium m laptops is 2x or maybe even 3x longer than any other non-M laptops...cause of centrino/speedstep
for laptops cant go wrong with pentium M, it blows everything else out of the water |

Is that one of those pyramid schemes? |

| 6.5 lbs is a little heavy (depends on what ur using it for). not an expert on the current pricing for laptops but for 1k your going to get something decent. |

Let me guess, you only run Slackware Linux and only use AMD processors, because mainstream sucks. Right? :rolleyes: |
