1. Acer Aspire 5102WLMi Notebook $800 @ CompUSA

2. Gateway Notebook PC (MX6920)
$800 @ Circuit City.

Those were the best in the price range in this mornings ads, if you have anything better, the help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Of the two, I would go with the Acer. I would stay away from Gateway. I have called their computer techs in the past, and they didn't know how to troubleshoot their own system.
