    Acer 3053wxmi, about 570 Euro. Couldn't find any details about this model online, looks like they've ceased production of it. Have read about Acer's poor customer service but I'll take my chances with that.
    Looking for opinions about value for money and any other thoughts. Also if anyone knows what's involved in upgrading later to a 1G RAM (to best handle Windows Vista Premium).
    There's no mention of Graphics, is that a worry in terms of getting the most out of Windows Vista? How easy is it to upgarde graphics?
    Also any thoughts on alternatives in the same price bracket.

    Thanks in advance! Here's the spec:


    * Processor: AMD Sempron 3400+ - 1.8GHz, up to 1.6GHz FSB, 256KB L2 Cache
    * RAM: 512MB DDR2 -
    * Hard Drive: 60GB
    * Screen: 14.1" Widescreen TFT (1280x800 - 16:10)
    * Optical Drive: DVD?RW Super Multi
    * Wireless LAN: 802.11b/g
    * Weight: 2.2 KG
    * Warranty: 1 Year Collect and Return
    * Operating System: Windows XP Media Center Edition -
    o Windows Vista Compatible
    o Integrated LAN
    o 56k Dial-Up Modem

    It probably has either X200 or slightly better X1150 video, both fine for vista. You cannot upgrade the graphics in laptops unless they use a certain standard which is very rare and requires knowledge to change.

    Price seems ok.

    Not a bad price, but not amazing bargain either.
