Future Shop has an Acer notebook on for what seems to be a good price..

Future Shop: Computers: Laptops: Acer Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK55 1.8GHz Laptop (AS7520-5185)

Acer 7520-5185
Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core TK55 1.8GHz
17" Widescreen
8X DVD RW
160GB Hard Drive
3GB DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 7000M (256MB Dedicated, 640MB Shared)

All for just $599CND.

This a deal or just trash? Thoughts?

I don't know much about Acer's build quality, but for the price, those specs look great. The laptop is certaintly no looker, but if you like it, go for it.

I would be careful before ordering. If you read the description, they give you details about the HP Pavilion A6518F desktop PC. If they placed the wrong description with the item, how do you know the listed features are correct?

The included battery is 6-cell. You may want to get a bigger one.

Here's the notebook at Newegg. The specs listed at FutureShop seem to be accurate.
