I've had experience with Acer (if you can call it that) it was very bad - but still, if you like it try it.

What exactly are you looking for, Compaq are good all round, but have some annoyances. Toshiba are expensive but built beautifully with high specs. Sony are like Compaq,nice all round, worse in some areas, better in others.

Well I am most probably bias against Acer because of my bad experiences. They aren't built quite as nicely as Compaqs or such, but they are getting better IMO.

I had a pain experience with the Acer product that I bought. I will suggest you to buy the COMPAQ notebook. COMPAQ always come with the latest features and attractive price. TOSHIBA not bad (for few years past), TOSHIBA is also do the assemble of notebook in Taiwan now. Although price was not really too high but the quality also reduce. I found TOSHIBA spec. still lower than COMPAQ but price higher. If the notebook you bought with image/photo editing purpose, Sony will be OK. The only benefit to buy Sony is because Sony bundle with a lot of graphics program.
