DONT BUY ACER
trust me, i learnt this the hard way - acer is just well known for being not-so reliable
ASUS is a much better brand than acer - try it yourself and see
i had an acer aspire 4920G 2.2ghz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD, crashed on me like a bitch, went to the service centre 4 times in a year until i finally decided to sell it off - issues ranging from the internal CPU fan malfunction, overheat, and just plain BSOD - it was terrible, the worst purchase i ever made
however i received an old ASUS laptop from my sister - formatted it and put windows 7 - works like a dream with zero latency and dropouts - and i basically throw that laptop around not caring bout it at all (coz its a backup pc) - still works like a charm!

I have both Asus and Acer laptops. The Asus is from Dec 07 and still works fine, only the fan is loud as hell. I have heard bad things about Asus laptops but mine is okay.
The Acer is relatively new and i have heard only positive things about it until now. I think it depends on the model.
