I am looking for a laptop, and have focused on the Acer Aspire
5020WLMi.
Main attractions are:

AMD Turion 64 ML28 (1.6Ghz)
Built-in wireless
Dual Layer DVD-burner
ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 128 MB
firewire port

less-favourable:
apparently it has a 4200rpm HDD (although it is 100GB)

ive also read that the 4-way integrated scroll button between the l/r
mouse keys is a bit awkward.
im not sure how sizes go, but this ones 14.2 x 11.5 x 1.8 inches .
i dont want a big massive slab, so how does this compare?

The only possible issue with the hard drive may be if i do video
editing.

All comments gratefully received.

I have recently bought a 5045WMLi and am very pleased with it.

With respect to video editing - I run Adpbe premiere with no problems
but only really use it to put a Mini DV tape straight onto DVD - i
guess it depends how serious your video editing is. The spec of the
hard drive is not very good but in practice its actually reasonably
quick (good seek time).

Anyway - not many people rate Acer but I would not swap mine for
anything at this price.
