[HLUG] Acer Aspire 7720

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

The good thing with pcworld is you can go back and complain..


But I  bought my last computer from a little shed at Merry Hill

http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/Shop/detail.asp?ProductID=4379&CategoryID=11&SubCategoryID=

They have last year's computers quite cheap, i think.

And as they are last years' models the people at Ubuntu have had time to 
write drivers for them.

But I bet someone on this forum knows of a better place, a better laptop, a 
better deal...
With laptops what matters is how long the batterys last, which is why I 
bought Centrino.
