Marc,It looks like the AL2223 has slightly better features. This is the model that I will be purchasing in the coming week or so. The contrast ratio is slightly higher (800:1 as opposed to 700:1) so I think this is a better deal. Maybe others have some feedback that will add to the discussion?: Michael

After looking all over the Acer website, it looks like the 2223 is part of the office line and the 2216 is part of the value line. Here's link: http://global.acer.com/products/monitor/lcd.htm. It looks like the office line monitors have adjustable height, rotate to portrait mode, and come with speakers. I haven't seen any of those features listed on Amazon.com or other sales sites, so don't just take my word on this. I'm ordering the 2223 because, in the worst case scenario, it's got a better contrast ratio. Best case scenario, it's got that plus the other office line features.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.

Sharon, I don't know which is better. I do know that I this Omni is fast enough for me, the large monitor is much bigger than the laptop I was using and has a clear picture. My son saw the Omni in Wal-Mart after our third laptop crashed. Our family had a MAC long ago and I liked the concept. I considered it but was too set in my way to learn their operating system. We (my son and I) agreed that this computer can be moved easily to any room in the house. But back to your initial question...the Omni was the only option at the store. I/we didn't have anything to compare it too.

There is no difference, just no amazon sellers offering a good price right now, I paid 349 on amazon for mine, be patient they will come back... good luck

Bird's Word: I've tested 2 of the 4 front runners (Acer & OSI) and the biggest differences I've noticed between the 3 (I know nothing about Lenovo's product) are Price, Monitor, Warranty, Touchpad & Upgradability (in order of personal import). Winner Acer - Best Display (Reflective TFT), Warranty (2 Year US / 1 Year International - I've NEVER seen this before! - Buy with Amex and get 1 additional year) and Touchpad Management Features Honorable 2nd ASUS - Best Price for Retail Value & Only Unit w/ Upgradable RAM Distant 3rd OSI - Best Screen Size (Non-Reflective TFT) I could say alot more but I think everyone needs to do their own reasearch and bargain hunting to ensure you find the best unit/deal for your personal need(s). Happy Hunting! J. Bird, CEO, BIG Ideas

i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (i dont need both so my neice gets the older one for school). I love them both! The main difference (to me at least) is the new one has a much brighter crisper display. A problem tho is a little reflection from the illuminated keyboard on the glossy screen. Not a dealbreak but annoying. Still not sure if i prefer the new b/w design or the old all silver. Well thats personal taste of course. Oh & the keyboard is softer(thats good!) to the touch onthe newer one. I think youll be happy with either&(as Macs are so pricey) maybe go with the older if you get a good deal! hope this helps, jon i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro.

I don't know but I imagine you might find it in researching it; typically, unless the price difference is huge I go with the latest technology; this may not be a situation where it's significant but might be worth looking into; good luck; it's a great little unit; I've been extremely pleased!

The Samsung weighs less, has a longer battery life, a 16gb ssd and bluetooth. The Acer weighs a bit more, has a shorter battery life (although unlike the Samsung it is removeable so you can buy a spare or extended life battery), no bluetooth, a faster processor and a 320gb mechanical hard drive. Since the Acer is cheaper, possible to add RAM to, a perfect unit if you want to try Ubuntu, and runs Netflix since it uses an Intel chip it was the one I choose, but pick the one that meets your specific needs best.

Hi Thank you for your interest. The difference is pixel policy. Please check the pixel policy of each description. This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor. Thank you.

You can open more browser tabs and run more apps. If you don't open more than about 10 tabs the 2GB model may be fine. I purchased the 4GB model because I previously had the Samsung with 2GB. The Acer C720 is substantially faster and more responsive, but it also has a faster processor.

Hi Evelyn, I suspect you'll get a lot of feedback which is great. Here's my .02. Since you haven't purchased yet I'd suggest you go with the HE. Reasoning. For only a few dollars more it comes with Bluetooth built in and is also compatible with Wi-Fi N (which the HA is not). While it's difficult to find an N system right now it may eventually catch on and you want all the web surfing speed you can get right? Bluetooth allows you to transmit music or even phone calls to a headset. If you're on a plane or just relaxing you're free of any wired connection to the computer. Yes, you can buy a little Bluetooth nub (I have one on my HA) for $20 or so but The HE has it built in. The HE processor is just a nudge faster. Reviews I've read so far indicate the additional speed isn't noticeable to the casual user but again, anytime you can get a faster processor and front end for roughly the same price give it serious consideration. And then there's the keyboard. While I haven't seen it my understanding is the HE is an improvement over the keyboard on the HA. Many users have modified the HA keyboard (it's extremely simple) but if Asus has heard the complaints about having an arrow key where the caps key 'should' be and fixed the problem then why not take advantage? The HE is also (apparently) a little slimmer and an ounce or two lighter even though battery life is improved. While I wouldn't suggest someone who's already invested in an HA dump the old machine for the new one, I'd strongly recommend someone starting from scratch give the HE a close look. Cheers

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

I'm a med student myself, actually already an MD here in my country, but plan in taking my step 1 this june... anyways, I have to recomend ASUS, the laptop has 5 stars build quality as well as performance! I actually bought the ASUS UL80vt, and fits perfectly to my lifestyle, and just so you know, that 12 hr battery thing is for real!!! you should get the ul80vt instead, its quite faster and better at multitasking than the ul30A-x5 since it has turboboos technology, also the screen is 14.1 and comes with DVD drive, which you may not use as much, but I prefer to have it than not.... BTW, go with the Silver model, it looks nicer!!! happy shopping!, let me know what you went for!

Brian, I have no idea if there is any difference, as I have only experience with the "other" model. I just really like the one I bought from Amazon.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

My advice is to not bother with the Acer. Mine was junk and a waste of money. Buy a Samsung device instead.
