I've had this Acer Laptop for several years now and it comes in handy all the time, like when I want to type things up while in bed or take a lightweight computer with me when I travel but don't need it to do anything fancy. One day the AC adapter stopped working and I was really sad about it.I figured even if it wasn't cheap, it was worth it to get a new one. Searching Google, I couldn't believe how cheap this one was! I've been using it for several weeks now and it works great.
