Acer Aspire 16.0" AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-82 4GB Memory DDR2 667 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit LX.AE50X.124

Pros: Decently fast and great for the price. Boots up Windows (see cons) in about 1 minute, excluding however long it takes you to enter your password. Keys are intuitive and easy to use. Sleek design (dark blue like others have said) with minimal intrusive bright or blinking lights.

Cons: Since it is a full keyboard, the far-left keys feel awkward to type, since where you would put your hands just isn't there. 3DMark06 score is 3750, which is about half of a desktop with a single-core P4 3.0Ghz and a 7800GT with 256mb of RAM, so the specs on this laptop can be deceiving. Changing the power settings to "Performance" got me another 16 points (negligible), and it loaded just a bit faster. Media buttons aren't immediately compatible with Winamp, and attempt to install Media Player when you press them. There is a huge amount of useless-ware (as others have mentioned) that is installed when you first unpack. Hit the windows key+r, then type in "msconfig" and go to the Startup tab to disable most of them, keep your security and power management stuff. After that, it starts up in 1 min as mentioned in the "pros" section above. USB ports are all very close the front, which is awkward for some components that are big or you don't normally unplug

Overall Review: If you'd call it a con, the keyboard has some give to it, and the arrow keys are quite loud. Pressing a key hard causes the whole keyboard area to depress inward. Using SpeedFan, CPU temps got all the way up to 73C when running 3DMark06 WITH a notebook cooler, which is insanely high. I wonder if the processor life is shortened by those temperatures. Idles around 46-52C. However, despite these high temperatures, the outside of the laptop doesn't get very hot.
Overall, happy with my purchase, but it's good to be informed.

Pros: nice wide HD display, 320 GB HD, 4GB RAM, eSATA port, 64bit. nice palm rest area for typing and the keyboard feels really nice.

Cons: OEM bloatware, resin coated exterior, blinking wireless indicator, those stupid annoying too bright blue lights that every single gadget has on them these days. Needs more batt power.

Overall Review: The machine is relatively fast, large and not too heavy. Once i got the bloatware off via a clean OS install, i got the system mem usage down to 20% at idle with the Windows sidebar on. Can probably get it down another 5% by tweaking the system resources.
As i mentioned this machine has those bright blue lights above the keyboard so they are always in your view when looking at the sreen. Those i'll probably learn to live with if i don't cover them with electrical tape first. The one that's tougher to live with is the wireless light which is in the same location, although orange, and flashing constantly... you can't cover that one because some geniuse made it a touch panel so any touching turns it on\off. *sigh*
The resin coated exteror looks good until you touch it then it shows every single little fingerprint and i would imagine in the near future every little scratch.
Don't expect more than a couple of hours from the battery with moderate use.
