correction: Acer model is 5672

I've upgraded my Acer 5675wlmi Laptop with the follow:

Intel T2300 (1.66Mhz) to a T2700(2.33Mhz)
2GB ram to 4GB ram
100GB HDD to 320GB HDD
pci-e Intel a/b/g wireless card to a intel Intel a/b/g/n card


Not as bad as pretty thing it is, well worth the performance increase. Upgrade cost me about a little less than $400 (ebay, fry's, online deals, etc...).

Sorry Mutsch, no power button no go. This IR2BT product does support the power button.

me me me!!!

Although I have a PS3, my guess is this will go to 360. Netflix will be or is using Microsoft's new Silverlight technology for the Instant Watch feature. Supposedly Silverlight has the ability to stream content at 720p, but when Netflix will allow HD streaming I'm not so sure. When 720p is available and on which ever platform, I will be right there.

This setup will be SWEET!

Holy smokes!!! I'll be throwing everything I got at that sucker from my 360 to a PS3 I'm trying to get. Either way I'm going to be blowing up some alien's behinds in HD on this guy.

There was a playable unit at a Target in Southern California this weekend. They had Motor Storm running and I played it, quite enjoyable. Not sure why Best Buy wouldn't get a demo unit on the floor.

"point is 360 has a TON of appealing games coming or are already out"

all perspective and personal preference. As a 360 owner, I'm still waiting for a game to blow me over.
