Welcome back Ken. I bought a Dell for $1299 a few months ago. If these are the same Acer's I looked at don't bother with them. Battery life of 1 hour instead of about 4 hours with the Dell. The Dell also has a DVD burner, bigger screen and is easy to upgrade RAM and other parts on. Dell also has good support and service if you have any problems. I wouldn't buy a second hand laptop. They tend to "wear out" over time, batteries and screens tend to have problems and aren't cheap to replace. Also cheap LCD screens give crap image quality. I'd stay away from a laptop unless you need the portability because you pay a lot extra for them in comparison with a desktop. Google anything you are interested in and you'll find heaps of reviews.
