Give me green Puhllllzzzz Linky
I bought it for $569 during tax free weekend at CircuitCity But this one is a deal now. I am going for a prie match today. I feel those who are looking for a low budget high performance laptop can go for it. I am totally satisfied with the performance.

here are the details (Please do not forget to give me Green, if you find it worth a Green)

Mid-size laptop: The Acer EX5620-4801 is a mid-size laptop, with above-average processing power and everything most people need for basic computing, entertainment and online communication. This model has premium features including powerful dual-core processing, a double-layer DVD drive, a built-in webcam and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Dual core processing: The 1.86GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T2390 processor has two processing engines that work in tandem, providing much more power than traditional 1.86GHz single-core models.

This laptop features 3GB of DDR2 system memory—enough for all but the most demanding users, gamers and multimedia professionals. DDR2 is slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.

Data travels to the processor along the frontside bus. The faster data travels, the faster everything works. This laptop features a 533MHz frontside bus.

Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly. This 1MB cache gives the processor a little boost.

Hard drive: This hard drive features a 250GB capacity—perfect for robust collections of music, movies and multimedia. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

Built-in wireless N: Built-in 802.11g wireless LAN gives you a fast connection to a wide range of networks and peripherals.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

Widescreen display: This laptop features an Acer CrystalBright™ 16" high-definition widescreen TFT LCD display with 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) with SP1: Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your laptop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

Audio/video: This laptop features Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with 384MB of total available graphics memory. This video memory is perfect for everyday activities like casual movie watching or gaming. Built-in Acer Tuba CineBass Booster and optimized 2nd Generation Dolby Home Theater Audio provide compelling 3D sound.

Media card reader: Seamlessly transfer images from your digital camera or camcorder. This 5-in-1 reader is compatible with Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and MultiMedia Card.

ExpressCard/54 slot: This laptop supports ExpressCard, an emerging standard in smaller, faster PC card solutions. This slot is also compatible with ExpressCard/34—use it to add memory, graphics upgrades, security devices and more.

There is a CashBack of $150 if you signup for comcast internet. I saw the ad in the store at perimeter mall Atlanta. I guess this is nationawide.

How do you think it compares to the EX4420 going on sale at Staples next week? (#107 @ http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/855318/)

$449 according to the thread.

might depend on how sensitive you are to price. For the laptop I need, the $450 does everything just fine, so I'd rather spend $50 less, but I suspect if you might need more functionality, the $50 is money well spent - 1GB of ram, 130GB HD, and the processor probably add up to $50 of value ...

Where is the thread or link about EX4420? I'd like to take a look.

brawa said:The Staples Acer also has ATI graphics, which I'm guessing are better than the Intel X3100? Can that make up for the HDD and 1GB RAM, as well as teh Core 2 Due versus AMD?

Valid point. However, The processor is Dual core here. But IMHO definitely this one is a go go compared to the AMD one.

JTFH said:I picked up one of these for my Dad a few weeks ago @ $499 and was actually fairly impressed. It's a much better built quality than Acers I've dealt with in the past... Vista crawled (of course), but with a tweaked XP it would fully reboot desktop to desktop in about 45 seconds!

EDIT: Don't forget to go to Discovercard.com and "shop discover" for 5% Cash Back.

Are you sure about the 45 seconds thing? I have Vista on mine and it boots within 20 seconds. Could be because mine is new. However I have installed many softwares which I need for my work and never felt that I made a mistake. Furthermore, For 350 bucks (considering the 150 CashBack) it is really a neat deat.

It's a Core Duo, not a Core 2 Duo.....a significant difference!
