I love it. Got mine for $376.99 at Best Buy. Don’t think it has the keyboard back lite though.

I just bought this model from Best Buy over the Acer Timeline, and I absolutely love it!

In my opinion, I think this is the best balance of mobility and power. At 4.6 lbs and 7:30 battery life (measured IRL with brightness toned down very much and Wifi on doing homework/web surfing), the 30 minutes less of battery power and .5 lbs added weight was a good tradeoff for a T6500 C2D over a SU2700 Pentium, in my opinion.

Of course, this thing isn’t much of a looker. It takes much from Sony’s style (especially its Vaio laptops and Walkman cell phones), but hey, call me old school, but I prefer function over form

No regrets geting this baby!

I returned mine. I went with the Acer Timeline model. Why I didn’t like it is in the other posts, but mainly because the more I played with it, the more I realized how much they took away from the original specs.

So? how is it? I just bought one online from bestbuy, the U81A and won´t have it till aug 8 because I am from argentina and a friend is bringing it to me, but as far as I could look on the internet for that money is a real steal…
Thanks for your article.
