It's not the most upgradable thing in the world (I did \nsuccessfully upgrade the RAM in it, but getting to the RAM or the hard \ndrive is nothing short of major surgery), but what laptops are?\n\nIt has a small keyboard, the small battery doesn't seem to last long \nenough, and it's not as fast as my desktop machine... but for $350, \nthe price is right and so is the form factor. I use mine for PSK31, \namong other things. It's a lot easier to haul around than my old 15\" \nlaptop.\n\nJust my $0.02. :-)\n\n73, Robert KC0KNM\n\nOn Nov 12, 2008, at 10:51 AM, Clint Bradford wrote:\n\n>> http://www.walmart.com...\n>\n> Just FYI...\n>\n> \"ACER\" is a Chinese term, meaning \"watch out for compatibility \n> problems with the rest of the world.\" Research these cheap laptops \n> carefully - you will find horror stories from folks with Acer \n> machines that aren't really trying to do anything extraordinarily \n> out of line.\n>\n> And, of course, \"Wal-Mart\" is another foreign term, roughly \n> translated: \"We'll sell America anything, 'cause they love this \n> Chinese crap...\"\n>\n> Just my opinion.
