Please convince me to NOT buy this laptop!
http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-5610-4648-Laptop/dp/B000P5MDSM

Acer Aspire 5610
2GB RAM (DDR2/553)
160GB HD
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.73 GHz)
15.4" LCD
DVD burner
Vista Home Premium
$700

((I'd also likely remove the HD and put in a 8GB CF card and run Linux off that & save battery life.))

I'd be using it to write in places other than at home.

7. Nope. A laptop is something I could still find useful.
