Here are the specs (incase anyone cares)
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional;
Mobile AMD Sempron™ Processor 3000+ (128KB L2 cache, 1.80GHz, up to 1600MHz system bus);
512MB (256/256) DDR333 SDRAM; 60GB hard drive; integrated CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive;
15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800) TFT display with Acer® CrystalBrite Technology; SiSM760GX chipset with integrated Mirage™2 graphics; 802.11b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, V.92 modem

Pretty basic machine, that's good enough for school, though gaming will be pretty much impossible.

I copied down the model name and went to the acer website. It wasn't hard to find.

honestly, I think you can do better for the price. dell has been offering their 15.4" widescreen with dual cores for around $600~

Re: laptop ?

I would get a regular screen monitor, and preferably a Centrino/P-M setup. The get better battery life, and usually come with a better video card. I will take Intel integrated graphics or an x300/6200 video cardover the mirage crap any day.

Also a regular 4:3 monitor is easier to type papers on than a smallish widescreen monitor. Also more portable.
