@Cookie: Well good that you haven't bought the acer tough!
You would be sorry at the end

I know the internals are not bad, and yes in most cases the notebooks are stable. Specs look very attractive (for the price), and everythings's fine... for the first few months...
But you pay for what you get, they have the lowest price on the market and it has a reason.
Build-quality sucks. You can actually twist the things in the diagonals, and if you have an issue... don't send it, it only gets worse . Don't call tech-support, you have to wait 2 hours on the phone before someone bothers to answer. They might be lazy, or everyone's computer is blowing up...
Many people can confirm the situation I had with their machine..., by the way it was acer who's battery's exploded some years ago. And they get freakin hot!
That's the big advantage with HP, HP is built many times as good, stay cool, you can actually put trust in it can you believe that Haven't experienced any hardware-compatibility issues, everything works fine, even with vista every piece works perfect.
