I also have a current DELL Laptop which is about 4 yrs old. I would say a 1GB also with windows XP. I needs a new battery, a new charger and the sound jack saudered back to working again because riright now it has no sound. Would it be better to fix my current DELL laptop or get the ACER?
So an ACER is not as good as HP or DELL? Are the cheaply made is that why the are cheap? And Would it be a rip off to get this laptop at $ 1200.00? Would it be beneficial to get this or any laptop at 1GB memory and just upgrade it to 2GB memory myself? Or just fix the current dell?

Why not buy a new Dell? At least you can return a Dell.
