That's really nice that you get the 100GB HDD and the 1G RAM. However, how do you guys compare this to the Acer 1642WLMi at Circuit City?

Most Acer laptops come with nice system specs....and a crappy battery. They typically come with a 1.5 hour battery which is pretty low by today's standards.

Asus laptops, even the cheaper models, come with up to a 4 hour battery.

Ouch... I was just thinking about the battery life. That is a deal killer for me but otherwise it looks like a sweet deal.

I don't know which Acers you've been dealing with, but my Travelmate 8100 can get ~4 hours easily of battery life.

I got rid of the 100 GB 4200RPM that came with it and puchased an 80 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi, its much faster.

Dont need the extra 20 GB.
