I'd go with the Acer. I just picked up a laptop myself for under $400, just for soemthing to have in the living room to surf on, play videos and music. Nothing crazy, AMD Athlon II 2.2Ghz with 4GB DDR3 ram, also came with Radeon 4250....hey....I can play half life 2 at medium settings! And Oblivion...lol. I'm gonna try out Deus Ex in a bit see how that runs! Butyeah go with the Acer, would be your better bet.

WoW!

Weekends are a little different, the girlfriend has a "normal" schedule she tries to keep up with me and my late nights but it sometimes fails.

This is what DLC should be....

Not something thrown together and put up for sale the same week as release!
