I think this would help a bit, since I do purchase a lot of computers during the year, I found a new winner for this year.

The Acer 9410-4441 laptop is a great computer.

The reasons I actually picked this computer were:

• Built-in camera
• 17 inch monitor
• 1 gig of ram powerhouse machine
• 120 gig hard drive
• Great wireless feature
• Centrino processor and good warranty
• There's a lot more, but all other compturs have the same.

Other then that it was up-to-par with all other computers at the $699.00 and up level.

In fact, some computers with similar features were topping $1,200.00.

Additionally, it's a great computer all around with all the basics.

You do need an anti virus software, but AOL gives one for free.

Regardless...It's a winner which sells around $699.00

Cheers,

Kevin
