    thx for the output but that acer :/ i dont really trust acers, they seem like the low end laptops

    and the 14 inch is an alright size for a laptop? i mean 21 inch would be a beetch to carry around

    Oh, I should also say, with today's laptops getting lighter and lighter, a 21 inch wont do anything but add SOME weight and it will make viewing easier. Most 21s will fit fine with day-to-day life and save your eyes.

    Well he lives in Canada so Newegg won't ship there, so that link to the Acer does no good for him.

    And Common, its $1,299.85, not $1099.85 as you have said, unless theres a rebate somewhere..

    I'll look for a better laptop, because HP is kind of down there with Dell and all those other companies. BTW Acer is a good company! LOL
