    $828 ACER 5220 with XP, cheaper with Vista

    Intel Celeron Processor 540 (1.86GHz, 533MHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache),
    2 x 512MB (1024MB Total) DDR2 Memory,
    80GB Sata HDD 5400RPM,
    15.4" WXGA Acer Crystalbrite Widescreen,
    Mobile Graphics Accelerator X3100,
    DVD-Super Multi DL Drive, 802.11b/g Wireless Adapter and Microsoft XP Professional.

    **For a limited time only the 5220 Comes with a Acer Orbicam Integrated 1.3mp Camera and a $149.00 Cashback if purchased before the end of April 2008!, Thats only $679.00 After Cashback!**

    *** Now with 1GB of RAM!! ***



    Model #:
    Celeron is like sooo...anyway, it's only I gig of Ram, if you get Vista you really need 2 gig to have it run at optimum, and why would you buy XP now? You'll be caught, like I was when I backgraded to 98se to avoid the horrors of ME, if you plan on keeping it for more than a couple of years.
    And that 80G HDD is small, now. My Dell mentioned above has 250 Gig.

    I agree 100% with Cam and nostars - I've been through 5 Acer notebooks in 4 years (thankfully I only paid for one) - and had mainboards replaced in 4 of them.
    I am still in the midst of yet another warranty claim where my laptop has several trips to Sydney and back before being 'fixed'.

    Never, ever, ever buy Acer - even if you have had good experiences to date, your luck will run out soon.
