I would give some serious thought to purchasing an Acer product. I bought my parents an Acer desktop for Christmas last year (2007) and it's been nothing but trouble. It's been returned to Acer for service 3 times and completely reloaded twice. Despite that, Acer refuses to replace the unit. My parents haven't had a fully working, error free unit for the last 4 months. I'm not trying to hijack or overthrow this post, but I think folks need to be aware of potential Acer problems.
