    based on the specs, it looks like a good deal, although i can't find any reviews on this. anyone have links to reviews or have personal experience with this notebook?

    Acer's low-end notebooks tend to share common design characteristics and have similar build quality; if you find a review of a similar notebook it would probably give you a 90% idea what to expect from this.

    I agree it is a very good deal for the money. The Pentium P6100 processor is basically a cut-down Core i3 without HyperThreading, it's about as fast as a 2.3-2.4GHz Core 2 Duo.
