Pros: The price and features. The laptop has performed very well and last night I applied Vista SP1 successfully. I bought this computer as a secondary/backup/alternate computer but it would work just fine as my primary machine.

Cons: The Acer empowering software seemed a little bloated and accessive. I have blocked or removed some of the unnecessary startup programs. There really weren't that many.

Overall Review: I live in LA and Newegg delivered the day after I ordered it. I had the machine up and running in very little time with no problems. Thank you Newegg for a great deal.
