Disclosure:  I purchased the Acer brand new roughly 3 months ago. I had to get a computer for my job, because they had to send me on the road for assessments. I recently was transferred back to my office, because of that I have no use for the Acer any longer. I knew my position on the road was temporary, so I kept all the original packaging. I would estimate total usage of about 15 hours, total. I purchased an external CD drive, which is also a writer as well as reader. I am including the CD drive in with this auction. I will give additional details on the external CD Drive, later in the disclosure. My personal experience with this computer, has been positive. I never had any problems with any of the applications, or speed getting on line. Having wireless internet, is great. I did get a network card from Sprint, that made things super easy. I was able to get on the internet, just about anywhere. The speed of things, once connected was pretty good, I really can't complain. Overall, I would give this computer an A+. The portability was the best feature of all. Because of the size, an internal CD drive is not available. The external CD drive is one of the best, it is an ultra-speed recorder as well as reader. It will work with the CD-R @ 52x, CD-RW @ 32x, CD-ROM @ 52x Connect with ease, using your USB 2.0  .At the time consumer reports gave the Memorex ultra speed external drive the best rating, so that is what I went with. I paid $69.95 plus tax less than 3 months ago. The computer and external CD drive is being sold as a package deal. I would highly recommend the new owner get a wireless internet USB card, it is definately a plus. Best of luck with the auction. I hope you are the lucky winner.
