Acer Aspire AS6930-6073

This laptop can pretty much handle my day to day use, I consistently have Pidgin(AIM Client), Firefox, and SAM3 Broadcaster (DJ Program) open and everything still opens briskly.
The graphics card can handle most of the games i've thrown at it, then again I havent tried running a graphically demanding game (right now i'm running Red Alert 3 and Left4Dead).
Webcam is crystal clear, it's better than my Logitech that i have for my desktop.
Everything runs smooth for the most part, I haven't had any glitches yet.

The partition that Acer has installed as the default is kinda blah (C drive has 143GB, D drive has 139 GB), but nothing too major.
My only other complaint is Vista and how annoying the "Are you sure..." questions are, but that can be overlooked.
The Windows DVD maker is kinda moody, working when it wants to, but I don't really use that anyways so it's not a big deal.

This laptop is worth pretty much every penny I spent on it, it's a good combo of tech for the money. I used to be a Toshiba guy, but this is a quality machine that Acer has built. I recommend this laptop to anyone who doesn't wanna spend money for the extreme high end laptops

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Bad touchpad

Good tech specs. So far works fast, screen clear (no dead pixels)

Full of advertisements. Terrible touchpad. Some glitches, where mouse pointer wouldn't highlight items in start menu and items clicked on wouldn't open. Feel of touchpad is not smooth and pointer does not move well. Skips across screen. LCD screen also won't tilt back past a certain point. Sometimes I use my laptop on a low table but I can't tilt the screen back for a good view.

Haven't done much intensive program running. Touchpad issues were enough to warrant a comment, though. I use the touchpad almost solely so a bad touchpad brings down quality of use.
