Accidently spilled coffee into my very old Dell laptop -so I'm looking for a new one...
Seriously thought about this one (882 US Dollars, 670 Euro..9 because it's about what I am willing to spend and I like my friend's Acer -->

Details from Acer (same model group) -->

Will be using it mostly for studying, surfing, and p2p. Most advanced tasks will be a bit of Photoshop and the occasional video concersion (avi files to dvd, RatDVD and so on...no editing as such).. and I won't be playing any games on it (online 8-ball as a maximum)
Will this Acer be Ok for my purposes? I'm mainly concerned about processor and ram, but don't know much about it..
Here are the specifications for my old desktop -->
CPU: AMD Athlon XP, 1100 MHz
Motherboard: ACS K7S5A
RAM: 256 MB (PC2100 DDR SDRAM)
Grafics: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 (Microsoft Corporation) (64 MB)
Sound C-Media CMI9738 @ SiS 7012 Audio Device
Generally my desktop works fine for me... well, it's NOT exactly fast when I edit in Photoshop or convert an AVI file to DVD and so on
... what can I expect from the Acer??
Additional Q's:
1-Will it run Vista smoothly?
2-What do I need to buy to get it on the internet (wireless) using my ADSL-connection (regular Zyxel router)
3-Tired of burning cds... what do I need to play music on the laptop but get the sound (wireless) through mu regular stereo equipment?
4-Does the Acer have some kind of quick-start to play cds(dvds without having to go through the whole Windows start up?
OR:
Is this Acer (AMD Turion x2) perhaps a better deal? (1059 US Dollars/ 805 Euros) -->

I'm willing to spend the extra money if it makes a big difference.. or maybe it's overkill for my purposes??
..and how about the noise and heat in Acers? ...any problems?
Hope to hear from you guys... I will probably be buying it in a few days..
