I prefer the more compact Acer 4315 which comes with a 14.1" screen, its more portable, and has the same resolution 1280 x 800 and costs 23k

well, "Linux OS" always means the end user will ditch it. If its a windows lover, he will ditch it for vista. If its a macboy, he will make it a HacBook. If its a BSD/Solaris guy, he will replace it with an OS like FreeBSD or Solaris 10. Finally, if its a linux guy, he will seldom stick with the crappy linux Acer provide. He would instead switch to something better like Mint, Ubuntu, Sabayon, Gentoo, Fedora, Mandriva, Arch, etc.

What chipset does it have ? Celeron M550 is an excellent processor, based on the Core2 architecture. It lacks the SpeedStep technology, a must for laptops. So its pretty sad. I guess this is another 945 chipset laptop. How I hate GMA 950...
