What's Hot

Performed very well in our WorldBench 6 tests; 2GB RAM; 160GB hard drive; comfortable to use

What's Not

Reflections from the glossy screen can make for uncomfortable viewing; no FireWire; no ExpressCard slot; Acer's GridVista software didn't seem to work on our test unit; poor speakers for such a big unit

The Final Word

A good price point, decent features and great performance make this notebook a good choice if you're after a desktop replacement.
