I'm using an Acer Aspire 3003LCi and it feels very light but sturdy. I'm not surprised these things are top sellers. It cost about £330 from a store in the USA. I've seen them at Tesco for about £400. Before that I had two Toshiba laptops. Give Toshiba a miss. Reliability was hopeless on both machines and the customer service was real "spit in your face" stuff.
