rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
For more than 10 years I had a new Toshiba each year paid for by my employer. In between I tried Compaq and HP (crap). Now, I am retired and have to pay for my own laptops. I am on my 3rd Sony since retiring (PictureBook, R505, V505) and bought my wife a Toshiba 5100 Satelite (not bad). BUT, I have had now 2 failures of optical drives on Toshibas (a Tecra and a Satalite). Today, in desparation I bought an ACER 3000 (Ferrari) a gift to my daugher I must take with me Saturday (to italy). The new Toshiba A10 I bought for her failed. The CD burner wouldn't work. This ACER is a really nice machine. Perhaps I still prefer Sony, but the ACER is a close second, as I sit here this evening loading it up with goodies. Has built in "g" wireless plus built in BlueTooth.

The key board on the ACER is better than any I've used recently.
