Hi,
I've been keeping an eye out for a laptop to buy for a while and saw the Acer 8371 thread which has tempted me to get one of these. The specs look pretty good for <£400.
I noticed in the networking part it mentions the wireless capabilities include IEEE 802.11n (draft).
What exactly does (draft) mean? I did a bit of searching but couldn't really find a solid conclusion. From what I can tell 'n' is the next step up from 'g' and is supposed to improve wireless speed. But I thought that this 'n' standard had been out a while now, so was concerned (draft) might mean it was an older implementation and might not be as good as it could be.
Rgds,
