here are two notebooks I am looking at:
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10384175&loc=
and
http://www.gateway.com/home/deals/offers/m405.shtml
the Gateway does not come with wireless or a cd burner, but I'm not sure I would need one ( I can use a thumb drive) the gateway is $100 less after the rebate. although, the ACER can read dvd's.
the gateway also sports faster ram.
I will buy more ram off newegg no matter which one I get.
weight and price have been a huge factor in my notebook search. the ACER is 6.4lbs, which is acceptable( I would Not buy anything weighing more than that) and the gateway has no specific weight. the series of gateway notebooks weighs ~6.17 Ibs.
