Hi guys, looking for a laptop to replace my old laptop through insurance. I have to find a replacement laptop with near enough same specs as my last one (which was an Acer Aspire 3004wlmi). The insurance company have found me a replacement through the Acer Aspire 5552 (part #: LX.R4402.076). It isn't a bad replacement but I want to stay clear of Acer's as I haven't had the best experiences with them. So can anyone spec me a laptop with near enough same specs as stated below:

Processor AMD Athlon II P320 Dual Core (2.1GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
Screen 15.6" (Acer CineCrystal, 1366x768 HD, High Brightness)
Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit
RAM 3GB
Hard Drive 320GB
Optical Drive DVD Rewriter (Records DVDs 8x & CDs 24x & Dual Layer Super Multi)
Graphics Integrated (Intel® GMA X4500 3D Graphics with up to 384MB Shared Memory)
Wireless LAN Wireless (802.11b/g/n Wireless)
Network Card 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
Integrated Webcam Integrated Webcam
Card Reader 2-in-1 card reader ( SD, MMC )
USB Ports 3x USB 2.0 ports
Speakers Intergrated Mono Speaker
VGA Port 1 External VGA Port
Kensington Lock Kensington lock slot
Charge Time 2.5 Hours
HDMI 1x HDMI Port
Battery Life 2-3 Hours (up to 3 hours with power management)
 
The Acer they are replacing it with has better build quality from what I've seen.
The silvery plastic cases, like they use on your old one, were awful. We had a few of the entry Intel ones, really felt like the plastics would break if you so much as looked at them funny.
Disappointing that it uses Intel graphics though...

The HP 625 is worth a look maybe? Similar specs, a little more expensive though.
