I got a basic Acer TravelMate when these things 1st came out.. with centrino 1.4GHz processor, no usb2.. (4 usb 1.1 slots) at a trade show.. in 2002.. its now coming to 2008 so this one's been with me for 6 years now.. and what a good ROI.. I'm a software engineer and so i use high end PCs at work for simulation, having more than 10 programs in my taskbar.. etc, but even those crash when using demanding applications, I must say the travelmate660 has been superbly reliable in comparison.. (even though mine has an older processor).. well done Acer for the great price and reliable build of the 660..

I bought this Acer TravelMate 660 laptop about a month ago, and I'm very satisfied. It has everything I need. It has a nice display with maximum resolution of 1400x1050 pixels, and everything is sharp and easily readable.
The keyboard has a 5 degrees curve and is easy for typing. The touchpad is superb. And the most important factor is that this computer is very quiet with a good battery that works about 3.5 hours and even more!
If you want to use your laptop as a second computer and you don't have huge business, then this laptop is yours. Otherwise, go for hp, toshiba or IBM.
