I borrowed a friends Aspire for a quick business trip and it was great. Prior to that I had always traveled with my old Sony HE-505 laptop (450 MHz P-3, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB HD, Win 98SE.) The Sony had always served me well; however, it will now be retired. The Aspire did everything it did, only better. For a bit more than 2.5x what it would cost for a new battery alone (a new battery that is needed) I can upgrade the performance, reduce the footprint, and have a lot fore faith in the dependability of the machine. Nine years of solid work from one machine was great. It more than paid for itself many times over.
My thanks to all that posted in this thread as they have helped me to make the final decision to replace the old Sony 505 after over 9 years of faithful service.
