I am looking for a laptop within 35K max. What would you suggest. After going through many reviews, I have got a feeling that many are satisfied with the build and quality of Acer.

Could any one compare the following models and suggest the best.
Aspire 4520
Aspire 4720
Aspire 4920
Aspire 5920
Aspire 5510
A few are AMD and few are C2D based. What do you suggest? I plan to use it for basic work, movies, music and not too high end gaming. Also i expect it to last me atleast 3 to 4 yrs.

Also are there any issues regarding drivers for XP?

Thanks a ton.

Looking forward to all your suggestions.

oh thats almost exactly what i am looking for. But i had seen another model C772TU at one of the showrooms @ 32,190. it had a 1.73GHz C2D.

How do u rate acer notebooks? many sites and forums say acer is better than compaq! before i used to believe it was the other way!
