CNet compares Acer's TravelMate 8200 to apple's MacBook Pro, and concludes the Acer wins; but only by a small margin. "The Acer pulled ahead with ample features and superior performance and battery life, then sealed the deal with its lower sticker price. If you're looking for the most connectivity and fastest performance for your dollar, the TravelMate 8200 is the laptop to buy. The MacBook Pro's strengths clearly lie in aesthetics, from its lightweight, eye-pleasing design to its graphics-friendly display to its elegant operating system. And Apple's superior software package could be said to offset the price differential between the MacBook Pro and the TravelMate 8200."

"When Windows Vista is released, Acer will have forgotten about this model Travel-mate and trying to sell you its successor. If Vista so happens to work on the old model, consider yourself lucky. Unless Acer seriously deviates from its historical practices."
Come on, XP works fine on old hardware (I'm talking about pre 2000 machines) and 9x works fine on up to mid 90s machines, and since there is no MS fanboy, we have Linux or BSD that can even scale to older hardware, even Apple's one.
