Anyone have thoughts on acer? "Linux on Laptops" lists just about every acer notebook... A consultant friend of mine sells these "on the side" and thought I might be interested in one of these as they are around $1k: Acer Aspire AS5672WLMi Acer Travelmate TM4672WLMi Acer Travelmate TM4222WLMi All are Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology, All have 1gig ddr-2 RAM All have 15.4 WXGA, All have DVD-RW(+/-) dUAL lAYER, All have at least 100gig hard drive (Aspire has SATA drive 120 gig) All have XP Pro The Aspire has 128meg ATI X1400 video card the others have the built in Intel Accel 950 chip Not bad for the money... 1280 x 800 resolution strikes me as "different" though - perhaps for DVD wide screen?
