Yeah- Acer is definitely decent value for money. I bought an Aspire 4736 with a C2D processor, 3GB DDR3, 320GB HDD at some 32K over a year ago. If your budget is 35K, you should definitely be able to get a much better config. Pretty much everything works out of the box for Ubuntu. I needed good number crunching ability- and have got it. If you don't need that
sort
of power, you can save yourself a lot of money.
so what is batter life ? how much time it can run with full charge ?
Battery time is not that good- but that wasn't a major priority for me. You
could get a better battery if you need it. Mine runs for 2 - 3 hours depending on what's the computer is running. I barely ever use it without plugging it in somewhere.
