Pure gems...

I hope your joking, or is this another one of your hate rants?

No, I'm not joking. The New Acer Aspire is an ugly, cheaply built, throw-together piece of garbage with bargain basement parts.

I'm using a VGA cable for now, I would use DVI/HDMI if I was running 1080p though.

Thats a VX-170 (2M HT), the FTM-10R is in the center, and my PRO-2096 Digital Scanner is on the right.

I haven't had a single issue with my Acer since I've had it. I think these models look MUCH nicer then the previous generation, I get a solid 1-1.5 hours out of the battery as well.

Now that may not sound like much, but it only cost me $399 at Staples, and does everything I need it to do and more.

It's not worth throwing away money on an AMD laptop when you can spend a couple more dollars for a far superior mobile platform.

Well I'm glad you like it. Unfortunately I look at them a little deeper because I fix them... And they're absolute garbage.. I didn't mean to offend (and hope I didn't).

As for looks? I never liked the looks of any of the Aspires.. and the new ones are no exception. That tan plastic look looks and feels cheap.

For battery life? I have a little Asus.. Just an itty bitty thing.. That gets 4 hours on a charge and spec/performance-wise is far superior. C2D, Bluetooth, 1.5GB, etc.

Acer Aspires have always had really bad battery life. I used to have one several years ago and nothing has changed.

I do really like the Extensa though.

That may be true, but then again, look at the price.

Acers have always had poor batteries, and this thing is no exception, the Dell I used to have got about 5-6 hours under normal use. And when you say "itty bitty thing", that would make sense because the smaller the screen, the longer the battery will last.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this:
