Hi Ken,
Yeah, I've had an Acer Aspire 5570Z for a couple of years now. Only 1g and 160hd, with a 14" screen, but it works great. The built in wireless works good too. Got an RShack usb to serial converter and I hook it up to my FT857D. Use it for portable operations at camp for logging, PSK and SSTV. Maybe one day I'll put in 2 more gigs of ram.
Enjoy!
