Ya... the Acer is light... Its made from cheap ****ty plastic that will fall apart.... They rank right above HP with me... Both companies just aren't there on the build quality. My Dell is closing on its 3rd year of hard living, sure the hinge has a little play, but the rest of the machine is running strong. I'd seriously look at Toshiba laptops. They seem to be among the best fit and finish wise. The XPS series of dell are good too, just pricey, my cousin has an XPS that survived and RV rollover where the fridge landed on it!


Another note on Acer.... They actually make a netbook with a sealed HD... As in it can't be removed or replaced! HD crashes? Too bad, you gotta buy a new netbook.....
