I think that the only reason that the walmart salesman told you not to look at it was because you get more for your money! Walmart know that more people know about HP and the other big brands than Acer, so they use that to get you to buy a more expensive laptop, which has all the features that you can get cheaper with an Acer.

The model I have [and recommend] is the Acer Aspire 5612WLMi. I was also looking for a value laptop, and I certainly feel that I have got my money's worth. With the screen set to low brightness and the CPU slowed down [you barley notice it when just word processing/surfing the web, since it's Core Duo], I get around four hours battery time on a full charge.
