100 Quit more with a Core2 T5500 1.66Ghz 667 FSB 2MB L2 Cache... I think I’ll take it back, go for the other one; same speed at 1.83GHz and uses max. 3watts less (10% less). Most of the time, Core Duo and Core2 CPUs are the same price but they are dumping the Core Duo Laptops now so there Core2 machines cannot beat the price...

I can't afford a 100 quid more.

Okay, I think I wasn’t clear on this, I think you should go for the laptop you posted, with the Core Duo .

Ok then, no worries.

The one I originally wanted went up to 581, so, i got this instead:

May not be the best on the market, but will be great for media, even playing games. Also the 3 year warranty clinched it.

So, it goes like this, last week I was on the lookout for a new laptop, couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to get though, despite how I felt about Acer's at the start of this thread I really wanted another Acer.

Wednesday night had an advert on TV for and Acer, it was just what I wanted, I reserved one there and then and picked it up on Thursday.

I have given this one to my daughter to use and I now have the one I bought last year back off her.

I only needed another one to take to work and for my wife to use in the evenings, which my old one is perfect for.

Sounds like a nice new laptop. Core2 Duo. ;)

That's SWEET Laptop of the GODS
