Pros: Sharp package. Looks great and I love the way the keyboard feels. The first day I had it I tried to work with the Vista it came with... but after experimenting with several of my programs, Vista just wasn't cutting it. Installed XP and upgraded the memory to 3 GB. Now, it flies. Great looking screen and a video card that is playing World of Conflict at fairly high settings with no obvious lagging. I would recommend this laptop to anyone... great laptop for a great price. Upgrade the memory and install XP and you have a SMOKIN machine.

Cons: Like everyone else has said, the lack of discs kind of sucks... but you can use the included software to make image files on DVD for easy reversion to ship specs. Others have complained about the sensitivity of the touchpad, but I have had no beefs with it.

Overall Review: The webcam works great by the way. Makes for hyper easy video-conferencing. If you do decide to switch to XP, pay a visit to the Acer website and download all of the XP drivers first. Other than that, good luck!

Comments: Bought this RAM the other day and installed it onto my A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard (which has an Athlon XP2700). Prior to this I had 512 Mb of Samsung RAM. I can not describe in words how much more AWESOME my system is now. It just blows me away how much better my system runs with this memory. MUSHKIN has my vote when it comes to stability and performance. Games... no problem. Graphic apps... no problem. Awesome. Highly recommended. Oh, and of course, Newegg got it here in 2 days.
