” Might want to check the spec - it’s probably 2.0 GHz. 2 GB of RAM is fine for most apps (yes, even under Vista, although what you want to run is whatever your students are running). Acer QA has improved of late, or so I hear.

Or, you could just head up to Akihabara and go nuts. :-) “
The new lap I am now using at school is a 2.0GHZ / 2 GB of RAM machine with Windows XP . What the students are using ( NEC btw ) has no bearing on my choice . Unfortunately , I am a 90 minute jet flight from Tokyo , so hitting Akihabara is impossible .
Good thing. I could drop a paycheck in an hour in that place. ;-)
