Aspire is consumer line - sometimes not as powerful. XP Home, (Though now, it should be Vista Premium and Vista Basic, not sure) I have a travelmate and works well, just ACER power adapters are awful and I had to buy a third party. It is good value for money for features. I personally love Thinkpads and Sony for elegant workable design. Dell Latitudes are good rugged notebooks too. HP/Toshiba again, business lines are good, but consumer are cheap plastic. I highly recommend Lenovo for the quality of metal case on my T60 (vs a travelmate which is cheap plastic - touch the back of the screen and the screen goes blurry - so thin) Good luck and enjoy the purchase!
