I bought an Acer Aspire about a month ago with the 160 GB HD and the '6 cell' battery, which seems to be the main difference among different units. It's very light. Useful for reading docs and browsing the net. Small keyboard though, no biggie. Very good for travel. I plug it in to an external LCD and works fine.
