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.

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.
