As far as build quality goes, Dell Inspiron > Acer Aspire.

I've just been reading PC Pro which would seem to bear you out on that (although this is a Travelmate). Perhaps I just had a couple of Inspirons from a dodgy batch last year.
Anyway, I see Asus have now launched the Lamborghini (yes it DOES com in bright yellow) to compete with the Acer Ferrari (which DOES come in bright red) so I'm dreaming of those now. They do come in black as well, mind.

Well i have just picked up 2 of these laptops today. Very pleased with them, They look really nice, and have a very sharp screen. My flatmate ordered a dell 1300 this week but after seeing this she is going to cancel the order. Looks like the hunt is on to get yourself one of these, seems a real bargain at this price.

Tesco at Irlam, Manchester have got them in now. So much for what the Customer Services Manager at Head Office told me. Had I listened to him as to when they were in stock rather than continually phoning up like I did, I wouldn't have got one.

Hiya,

Was in Tesco Haverfordwest (Pembrokeshire, deepest, Darkest, West Wales) this morning and they had a few of the sub£300 laptops there. One less now though as I picked one up myself. A wee bit slower than my main setup (but then that was very much to be expected) Seems great for students who will need it for net stuff and writing up stuff.
