ACER Travelmate 3200

I have upgraded my laptops and now these are surplus to requirements. All are in very good condition cosmetically and all are working perfectly. They have had little use as can be seen by the lack of wear around the labels and paint near the touchpad. All the cases are scratch and wear free with no cracked or broken bits.
All have been setup to control either an EQ6 mount or a Meade LX200 telescope. Various planetarium and image capturing software are loaded on all computers as well as Photoshop and Office.
Registered Postage with Insurance to anywhere in Australia and postage charged will be what it costs to send to you or you can pick up from Brisbane.

Colin,
If you're looking for a good Netbook size machine, Have a look at the HP Pavilion dm-1.
I got one (dm-1 4018au) a couple of weeks ago for $370 at JB and I love it.
Has 3x USB 2.0 ports, 1x HDMI out, 1x VGA out, Bluetooth + WiFi, Beats Audio(sounds surprisingly good for it's size).
They have a 11.6" screen where the larger Eeepc's have 12.1" but I couldn't notice the difference.

The dm-1's CPU(APU) is an AMD E-450(2Core 1.65GHz) with Radeon HD6320 gfx, plays HD video's fine.
It is better than the Atom based stuff, tho it sacrifices some of the battery life.
The 12" Eee's claim 8-12 hours battery. With the dm-1 I get between 6-8 hours battery life depending on what I'm doing.

It also comes with 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium(SP1) instead of the dodgy Windows Starter that all the other netbooks size machines come with.
The screen(11.6") is waaay better (I compared side-by-side with all the Eee's in store) and the keyboard is so nice(and silent!) I almost forget I'm typing on a 12" netbook.
Unlike the new Eee's, the dm-1's RAM can be user-upgraded, it comes with 2GB but you can upgrade to 2x 4GB SODIMM's for 8GB total.
Windows Experience scores: (yes I know WE isn't great... but it is atleast easy to compare)
Overall: 3.9
Processor: 3.9
RAM: 5.5
2D Graphics: 4.6
3D Graphics: 5.9(!)
Hard Disk: 5.9

CPU benchmarks: (Passmark)
Pentium M 1.6: 406 (used in the Acer 3200 above)
Atom N570 1.66: 639 (old Eee's)
Atom N2600 1.6: 590 (current budget Eee's)
Atom N2800 1.83: 723 (current Eee's)
E-450 1.65: 742 (HP dm-1) (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+E-450+APU)

For the $370 (i got them down from $398) I couldn't have got better.

Edit:
On sale at JB for $358! (http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-dm1-4018au-11-notebook/660838)
