I've been using an Acer (Aspire 3690) for about two years with no problems yet, but I baby it; I've never dropped it, spilled anything into it, sat on it, etc. The battery life is quite low, only about an hour and a half when new, but I nearly always use it on AC. [Tangent: my impression is that that will help preserve the battery life, as charge / discharge cycles reduce it. Is this true?] I've never dealt with Acer support. This was already a low end machine when I purchased it, but it is quite usable for my needs: Celeron M 420 @ 1.6GHZ 512MB RAM (recently upgraded to 2GB, not because I needed it, but because I found a steal on RAM) 60GB HDD Broadcom wireless (4318, supported perfectly by b43) 15 inch screen, Intel 945GM graphics Intel 82801G stuff inside The OP asked about performance, but IIUC, that will depend mostly on the actual components used, not on the build quality or any special sauce of the integrator. I daresay I'm oversimplifying, and I'll appreciate corrections Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
