1. I've owned a C111TCi for 8 or 9 months now and can confirm that it is a brilliant machine. I'm just dropping a line to say that to get to the second RAM slot follow these instructions

2. I highly appreciate both the product and the review of it.

In that review I found no enlightment on 2 questions I have:

1) The keyboard seems to be the one I saw on several ACER previous TravelMates or Tablets: if so, it lacks the rightest column of keys (Home, End, Pg Up, Pg Down), of which the functions are accessible only through a combination of keys ( for "End" for instance).

This is enough that I dropped the ACER in my last Notebook buy: I sometimes use *hundreds* "End" in one day, so doing it through a combination of 2 keys is not an option (still less when they monopolize your 2 hands: is in the left corner, Arrows are in the right).

So, I wish the review had shown more details on the keyboard ans its differences with a standard kbd.

2) I wanted an SXGA+ screen (1400x1050 pixels). I worked for several years the whole day in UXGA (1600x1200) on my 17 CRT; I badly missed that screen space while sufferring for 5 years working in XGA (1024x768) on my current laptop; I want recover more screen estate (the size is not a problem: XGA is displayed quite well on 10.4", comfortably on 12.1"; SXGA+ is comfortable on 14", even more on 15").

Finding no Notebook that had all I wanted, I can accept XGA provided it has a good double-screen display. I have that with a MOBILITY RADEON 9000 with its dedicated 64MB memory. But is the 855GM chipset able to do a good, convenient, reliable dual display? I wish the review had answered that question.
