5 of 5 Acer Laptop 2/17/2008
from Inverness, FL  
Unit performs as advertised and relatively fast considering the speed rating of the Dual Core CPU. The only negative is that it does not come with Restore CD's, only a Restore Partition on the hard drive, and Acer will not provide the needed DVD/CD's.
