Comparison to my Acer Aspire 3690: Keyboard is terrible (although that may be subjective), battery was meager to begin with, an hour and a half of basic use (but I bought a bottom of the barrel model), and is now almost useless, 2-3 minutes (but it's been four years). Just about all HW supported, except for the flash reader, which I've never gotten to work properly, but I haven't spent much time on it, the Winmodem, and I've never gotten suspend-to-ram working properly.
