Looking at getting a Laptop to replace my home computer mainly for mobility reasons, found a really good deal on a Gemstone which really does look nice but I have read reviews and it all comes down to Acer making poor quality laptop's and poor aftersale's is this true?
 
The gemstones have improved a lot and if its the 5900 series with the T7300 & 8600m gt then its the best bang for buck laptop atm :)
 
What do you think to the acer 5710 gemstone laptop.

# Processor: Powerful Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz Processor
# RAM: 1024MB fast DDR2 RAM
# Hard Drive: 80GB Hard Drive for file storage
# Screen: 15.4" WXGA TFT Display with Acer CrystalBrite technology
# Optical Drive: DVD Re-writer (DVD SuperMulti)
# Graphics: Shared Graphics
# Wireless LAN: 802.11b/g
# Operating System: New Windows Vista Home Premium
# Card Reader: 5 in 1 Memory Card Reader

Total = £399
 
That is actualy similar to the one I am looking at, same price but 17" screen with Athlon Duel Core instead of Intel sold by a well known food store, I just think it is too good to be true tbh. I only want a laptop for just using skype, typing up documents and browsing the web and the specs seemed to suit me.
