    I've got a second laptop which is an Acer model. Piece of ****. Keys come off the keyboard as if it was made of scabs. :D And they don't go back on either. Can you buy a separate keyboard and plug it into a laptop to use instead of the piece of cack that came built into it?

    Don't laugh if this is an obvious question. I was daft enough to buy this Acer rubbish in the first place. Never again. And it's as slow as chuff.

    yes a usb one, and when the processor and hd go you can buy a tower and plug that into it, just use the laptop for a monitor.

    though that defeats the purpose of having a laptop a little bit.

    Just looked at their website. Those look like good machines. Kicking myself for buying this crap.

    I love my laptop

    not too sure bout Vista yet tho`. Acer are good for the price, but not as good as Asus, but thats my opinion, others will think the opposite.
