After years of getting used laptops as payment for in home computer repair / installation (I load them with Ubuntu Linux and OpenOffice and them give them to people who can't afford a laptop.); I decided that I would spoil myself and get one. Please read the bottom to help save you $40 on your next computer purchase. Since this has Vista SP1, I had to use MAME32 ++ UI.
The Acer Aspire T5800!
Its features are:
IF they ask you if you want a "Recovery Disc" or "BackUp Disc" made, SAY NO!
Save yourself the $40 because as soon as you turn on a Vista PC, and you finish the set up (Add your username, and name your computer, network DHCP which is automatically done) , it will prompt you to make a "Recovery Disc". All you do in put your DVD-R / DVD+R disc in and it will start burning a recovery for you.
So, if you can't plug in a cable and spell your name, then maybe you should shell out the $40?
