For anyone who's interested. The above laptop is retailing for €499 in PC world and possibly Currys too. The specs look pretty good for the price.

• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5800<LI class=indentFeature>(2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache)
• Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Basic
• 3GB Memory Size
• 160GB Hard Drive

• 15.6″ Screen Size/Type
• DVD Super Multi Double Layer
• Intel GM45 Graphics Card Type
• Wireless Enabled
• Gloss Black Colour

Not a bad spec. for the price, but the casing on this laptop is of poor quality; Expect it to fall apart.
They keyboard layout may be beneficial to accountants, but for the rest of us, it feels cramped.
Otherwise...fair enough.

Just be aware that if anything goes wrong with Acers, you may end up in right lumber. At the very least you will be without if for ages. IMO, avoid like the plague........Speaking from very bitter experience.

Yeah. agree totally, have been waiting on a part for over 3 months now and have rang them at least once a week and have got umpteen different stories including that they haven't shipped it yet(because they want to make sure that they put the right part in the box!!!, yeah, you heard me), that they actually shipped it August 20th, but won't provide proof of shipping even though another customer service guy told me that all their stuff is sent via DHL and tracked. I ain't got tiem to list out all the other contradictions that I have been told and the only thing I can say is someone is lying to me. Still waiting on the part, can't get it anywhere else(it's an extensa 4220 lcd cable if anyone knows where to get one, constantly check ebay and other sites and have put an ad on adverts.ie). Again I must stress, NEVER buy one of this crowds machines. A disgraceful shower of..................

Well thanks for the heads up people. Was not planning on buying one but seen them in PC world while purchasing somethin else and thought that some people might be interested because of the specs. But going on all comments posted, wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole comes to mind!!
