I got a $400 acer two years ago and it's great. I was even surprized to see that there is the complete re-install on a partition. When I got a virus I couldn't get rid of, I just did a self-reinstall of the OS and bam I was back up to clean and running in 30 minutes.
The only thing I don't like about it is the touch pad. I tried the MAC touch pad and it was really nice - acer, not so much. But I always use and external mouse anyway.
Even when I could work at home on my main machine, I love going to Starbucks in Hollywood with the laptop and working there for 3 hours just to see all the whakos that come and go.
