      Comments about Acer Aspire AS5517-1643 Notebook Computer:

      My Mom bought this Laptop for [$] for me after my '06 Toshiba's hard drive crashed. It is a [$] computer, and is no longer on sale at [...] at this fantastic price, (Black Friday Sale). I find it to be one of the best computers I have ever used. Windows 7 Home Premium works fantastic, compared to my previously nerve-wrecking Windows 2000 XP.
