Comments: Okay first off this is not a $xxxxxx laptop. When you compare it to other laptops in the $xxxx catagory, you'll find three things. Most don't come with a dvd burner, most only have one to two hours of battery life and its the only 64-bit processor in this catagory. 2 Steps Forward: -This laptop runs really cool. It doesn't generate a lot of heat. -The built-in 802.11 works real well I've had no problems with linksys, d-link and other brands of routers estabilishing a connection. -Price for performance. For what you pay you get a lot. 2 Steps Back: -A 4200rpm hard drive means s...l...o...w... performance. -Two 256MB modules of memory take up both slots rather than one 512MB module. -Poor graphics. Even for a budget machine I expected a little bit better. 1900 marks on the 3d2001se like the other guy. I was hoping for twice that. Which means very basic games only. This a good machine for mp3's, dvds, office work, emails, home photo editing, power point presentations. Price for performance I give this machine a 92%. I've still never had a problem with Acer laptops. If you want faster look at the Ferrari series by Acer. They have a Turion with a carbon-fiber body and much better graphics. Although you're going to spend twice as much.
