Looking at getting the acer 1830t i5,4gb,500gb,11.6" from Amazon for $545: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-Ti...2685450&sr=8-1

Seems like a good deal. Any comparable systems? My needs are thin and light, battery life. Processor power isn't a MUST, but gotta be snappier than the atom or AMD fusion processors. I have used a previous gen Timeline and was happy with it. Looks like this version has a newer faster proc, but comes with less battery life :(

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or thoughts on this specific model?
