im pretty good with the tech shit but im a little out of the loop. like i want more performance and faster shit.
right now i have a toshiba 1.74 dual core pentium, 2gb ram and 160gb has an intel grpahics card which sucks...
this thing looks pretty sick for just $800, but maybe im missing something? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115411

Do you plan on gaming at all? Or just for other uses. If for gaming, dont get it if you want to play any decent looking games. If for other uses then I say hell yea go for it.

personally, I would just keep your Toshiba. The performance increase is not worth it for $800. If you have $800 to "upgrade" your laptop so easily, I would suggest either getting something more worth your $, or sew the hole in your pocket shut.

i heard acer actually makes some really good nerd approved laptops... especially if its an "aspire" series. however its just something i read. one of my main reasons for upgrading is going back to AMD. i had an old athlon that i loved i have a p4 and a p dual core, not impressed. anyone use amd mobile processors?

Acers suck because their parts are cheap and although some acres come equipped with good processors/memory they are still shitty computers that will start having problems within the first 1-2years.
try something like this.HP
but if you want some of the best retail, SONY

Get a Dell Inspiron 1520 and then spec it up and find a coupon online. I got $325.00 off of mine.

oh please. that's like going into best buy for a TV. you're looking at a 20" CRT for $300, and the sales rep is like "why don't you take a look at this $1000 42" plasma". would you not look at him like he's a fucking retard?
you saw the price, obviously he's shopping in that price range, yet you show him something that literally costs nearly FIVE times as much. of course it's going to be a better laptop. it costs fucking five times as much.

At least you WANT to buy one.
My fat ass cat destroyed mine this morning. 
He knocked a stereo from the top of a 6' bookshelf. It landed on my laptop so hard that it broke the table it was sitting on.

Ugh. I haven't even looked at the specs yet, but that thing looks way ugly. Looks kinda like those old mac laptops. I have an acer, buttom of the line, 5-600$ laptop i got about ~1.5 years ago on a real tight budget. (aspire 3100). Since then its been through Alot of tough use, and hasn't failed me once.
