Horrible deal, with that price you can get a much better laptop.

I agree. This laptop is trying to run Vista on a Celeron processor and 1GB of RAM. It will freeze up more than it will work. For roughly the same price, you can at least get one with a dual core processor, though you may need to add some RAM yourself.

Could you point out a better deal?

Thanks

you're all are right. I got a Dell with Intel Duo Core and 2 gig ram for $550 last month. AND I could get it with either XP or Vista...I wanted XP....ordered it from their site.

I don't need to point that out. Look for Dell deals. As someone mentioned above with this price you can get a faster computer, more ram, more HD. One more thing Acers aren't good at all, I work at Best Buy and Acers always have problems. So if you want to waste your money on a cheap made and a slow computer, then that's your choice

Yep. You might try this one from Best Buy:

Any similar deal would be good. I would add at least another 1GB of RAM, which is pretty cheap. At 1.6GHz, this isn't the fastest dual-core out there, but it is a much better processor than the one in the OP.

This one is a good deal. For 399.00, shipping is included. You also have the option of getting either Vista or XP. If you get Vista, make sure you go for the bigger memory size. Otherwise, it should run okay on XP for the cheapest price.

You're right. This is a good option to run XP at the base price, though I would still recommend adding some RAM if you plan to multi-task. If you want to run Vista, you should upgrade the processor to the dual-core option and definitely add RAM. Still an excellent deal either way.
