Acer TravelMate 290.
The acer travelmate 290 is a nice choice if  you can live with its dawnfaults. One thing is certain the Acer can design notebooks. Under the hood is a low P M1.3GHz processor and 128mb DDR ram. The keyboard is badly designed which make u beleive that it was made for women and childrens fingers. Battery life is not bad, around two and a half hours which isnt bad. Acer isnt known for its customer support so take care of ur unit. The Acer travelmate will set you back $999.
