With Leo heading off to college we’ve been talking laptops. His new college recommends Dell — our school does too. And while we’ve found Dell to be very reliable, for this personal purchase I’m looking at Acer. I caught an ad a recent Wired Magazine and their 8 hour battery life claim caught my eye. They’ve got some other cool features too, like the multi-gesture touchpad. There’s not much of a warranty, but when you can get this all for under $600 maybe that’s not such a big deal.
