Good deal(it is an i5), but 1366 x 768 resolution is what's on my current lappy, and it's lacking.

It's a second gen i5, there's a reason it's priced at $399. Also, ACER is the worst quality machine on the market. It might suit your needs, but I'd find an A8 laptop from a more reputable builder for the same price if it were my money. Also, (personally) I would take a 3rd gen i3 over a 2nd gen i5. They're both dual core, but you'll be much happier with the HD4000 integrated graphics than you will with the HD3000 or older.

Sure, there is a reason it's priced at $399. I will say this though, Acer does pack a lot of value into their machines even if they aren't the highest quality. Still, I have had an 11.6" Acer for the last three years, use it all the time, and never once had a problem with it. Compare that with some other "higher quality" makes, such as Toshiba and Dell that I have owned, and I would not hesitate to buy another.

I just bought a laptop with 1366 x 768 and I wish I didn't. Partly because, I've been using 1650 x 1050 (from 2007!) in the past on my old laptop and the lower resolution really looks bad for me. The graphics/font are big that I'm limited in space and images are not as sharp compared to higher resolution. Really, no one should use this resolution. This is so low in today's standards but virtually 80% of the laptops have this resolution.
