I went with the Acer 8371 + Win7 Ult. off of my Microsoft employee friend + c300 SSD and its an amazing laptop. I ran it for a while with Vista and with the standard HDD and I was more than happy with it as it was, just like upgrading stuff!
Just ordered a 8371 thanks to this! Glad I saw this as I was going to get a netbook but for the small amount extra this'll be way better!
Quick question about Win7 - my missus is a student so can get an upgrade version cheap. If I get a 64bit upgrade will it have the option to do a fresh install?
Finally finished updating vista to sp2 etc.
The boot time is still very slow (cf my win7 machines)
There is tons of cr*p preinstalled just trying to slim it down.
Dont know if its this of just that Vista is slow?
Interestingly there is a intel gfx accelerator icon in the system tray which is odd as its got a separate ATI card. Ill put this on the list of things to disable and then find latest ATI driver.
Dont think it will be long before I go for win7, so much better. Unfortunately Ive already used my student win7 deal and my daughters school isnt subscribed.

is this light enough for taking travelling compared to a samsung nc10 ?
can someone email , i want to make sure im getting the correct place.
thank you
if i am not worried about the slightly lower CPU, and i want win 7 installed anyway, am i better off getting the 3810tzg
if i could find one in stock, that is?
edit: nope, cant find one anywhere..
might have to go for the 8371
i found one (3810TZG) at £399 inc windows 7 but they are just out stock .
Quite a few ppl over on netbookreview forums do not like the glossy screen on the acers, so that is something else to consider because aswel as being more expensive, the 3810 also has the glossy screen.
