Pros: My friend, you don’t ever have to buy an AMD Sempron now or any over hyped dual core (I got both). This baby has one super cheap core, but is a fearsome core. It blasts any Sempron AMD can offer and is about the same as a dual core. You got 1.8Ghz easily overclock to 2.4Ghz which is equivalent to a Athlon64 3800. You can achieve this on any cheap motherboard (I did it on a Nforce3). Look for office, games, normal use even some abuse… this chip can take it. You know what… I won’t even get vista now… I am not impressed at all… so what… aero user interface? No need for that.. none of that will justify the loss of performance. At my company we use Windows 2000 and I can say that is all you need… perhaps that’s a stretch at home let me tell you that Vista will eat all you memory and make your system slow. This chip will run XP like a speed demon for less than a third of the price. My father was right… just wait and let all the ^%&@$ pay the price.

Cons: At this price, NONE.

Overall Review: A year ago this chip was three times this price. This is the sweet spot, before it disappears you can get premium performance. Don't be fooled by dual core just yet, if you have a good single core you will never miss a dual core and this is a great single core. If you need a machine for home, to play around... word processing, burning movies, DVDs and some Photoshop perhaps then this is a good chip. If you a have a boss that needs everything right away and you do many things that the same time, then perhaps you need dual core (and don't be fooled, dual core Does NOT work like TWO PCs working on 2 projects... Windows will still freeze and you will still have to wait).

Pros: Great quality, this keyboard feels as if it is made out of iron. This keyboard will improve your typing speed because the feel is accurate and strong: if you dont look at your screen while copying from somewhere, you will never doubt whether you did or did not press the key all the way. Looks: It looks average but it feels solid, is a couple of times heavier than regular keyboards. What makes it worth it is the feedback it gives when you press the keys. It is unlike any other keyboard, much, much better than even the higher end microsoft or logitech. This is like driving a Mercedes compared to an old toyota.

Cons: This keyboard is loud. If your computer is in your bedroom and your significant other sleeps there too, forget it. It may even be too loud for typing at night on the next room. The same can be said if you are in a cubicle and have people around you. This sounds like an old type writer. Because it feels so good, you wont mind the sound but others will sure notice. Price. But you can't complain about this, this is really 10 times better than the average keyboard.

Overall Review: This is a great keyboard. As soon as you get it out of the box you will know, this is a quality product unlike any other keyboard that comes with computers these days.

Pros: Price, DVD-RW, 1.8 Ghz Turion 64... This machine is very fast for the price. You can’t get anything better for $xxx The DVD burner works very well. The display is excellent.

Cons: A con would be that it is not a dual core. But we lived in a single core world for so long that if you have a fast single core you won’t really miss anything. This machine is worth it. If you have a good desktop and need a laptop to have it in the living room or work outside, this is your best bet for xxx Ohh and the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Integrated Video will eat 64 MB of RAM, so you will need to buy more RAM whenever you need it. Hope this helps.

Overall Review: I got this for my cousin who is a freshman and live in the dorms. He love it… 1.8GHz, 512RAM DVD-RW and 80GB more than enough for his purposes which besides word processing and web surfing includes downloading lots of music. You can handle a lot of music and everything will go flawlessly. If you have 100 more to spend you can go dual core with the Acer Aspire AS5102WLMi-MCE (you get 100GB too 5400 RPM instead of 4200).
