i got a acer 3003wlci for $430 🙂, its a pretty good laptop for that price. The lcd is nice and the amount of ram and hd space is also good. the performance by the sempron is pretty good, all the operations are smooth. The only draw back is the size of the 3000, its a little wide, and also the battery life... it holds about an hr charge... and that is why i am looking for a better battery.
