Question Travel Mate 5520

ok so my office purchased 2 of these Acer's.
here's the spec :

AMD Athlon 64 x2 (Dual Core - TK55)
1.8Ghz with 1GB DDR2 ram
15.4 wxga
Ati Radeon Xpress 1250
Wireless card ,Card reader etc etc, all the damn features

anyhoo, it came with vista home premium with no vista dvd.
And am thinking of downgrading it and you know the usual reason

so how do you find it ?
