HD bracket is included (attached to the HD cover). The optical drive brackets may not be....double check if you can, though some say it's not a real big deal. About the matte screen. The beautiful thing about these VBI notebooks is...

PC5300 and PC5400 are the same....some companies just round funny. Barebones does come with a battery....6 cell. I always do this so I apologize for being a nag, but, even if you don't need it, stepping up to a 100GB drive almost...

I think you'd be crazy to carry any notebook in your arms around a school, in which case it's going to be in some kind of carrying case. I have a backpack carrying case from a previous Dell order that I plan to use when I move it, so...

The Dell Inspiron line no longer comes with PCMCIA...only a ExpressCard which, in conjunction with Asus making a similar move with many of its notebook's, will hopefully mean fairly quick adoption by the audio card manufacturers. In...

I avoid installing all that crap on my notebook. I order AS5 from SVC.com because they have good prices and ship USPS Priority at cost. 84° sounds way too high to me. Is that on that Acer in your sig or is this something...

Confirmed. Using AS5, I get identical results.....hover around 50° idle and low to mid 60's while gaming. The touchpad gets warm, but never hot.
