Acer Travelmate 8100

Just wanted to add that I found out that Acers can be purchased online at Walmart.com (yes, Walmart!), and "test driven" for 15 days with no restocking fee. Then, they can be returned to your local Walmart if you don't like them. (this according to Walmart.com website, not sure how well it works in practice, I'd print the return policy before trying to return). I think it costs just $7-8 to ship (snail mail).

Not a bad way to try out these laptops, with minimal risk. Esp. important because of the curved keyboard, which apparently takes getting used to (but is supposed to be ergonomically superior). Just have to be careful to keep the coating from getting scratched!
