  Isnt the point of HD to watch it on a BIG screen? 17" is hardly big.
  
  Unless Acer plans on attaching a 32" monitor to the notebook, then I will continue to not be impressed.

  Acer is gabbage. Screwed my father when a part died, under warranty.
  
  I also buy HP Laptops and a Desktop. Compaqs too. They seem fairly reliable. I have always used them, but now I have an iMac :)
  
  My friend who is an IT guy says that Dells are supposed to be fairly good now.
