My work laptop bit the dust and it will be months before it is repaired and I receive it back.
Since there are also "personal" reasons for me carrying a lappy as well as business related, I've decided to get a cheaper laptop to call my own.
I don't plan on gaming with the laptop or anything so I don't need anything top of the line.
I'm thinking about this Acer...

I like the fact that it has an estimated 5.5hrs runtime.
BUT... I'm also trying to just talk myself into this cheaper Acer(with it's estimated 2.5hrs runtime)...

One big question I have is how does the 1.5GHz Pentium M compare with the AMD 2600XP-m? The other thing is the graphics subsystem... will I really notice moving up to the "Intel Extreme Graphics 2"?
Decisions... decisions...
Opinions are appreciated. :toast:
