I am not keen on Acer as a brand. My experience has been that their laptops are cheap --- in all senses of the word.

For comments on SSD drives, you could do worse than to start from Linus Torvalds' brand-new blog:

I'm considering something like this:

There is a model with a hard drive too.

Are there any other distributions that are good for SSD?

Is it a bad idea to buy SSDs drives?

I have an external USB drive so I'm not concerned about storage space on
the machine.

I just need something cheap and portable for web browsing and email.
