Roger,

I've been using the Acer 301XCi for a week now and LOVE it. I'm currently running Adobe Photo Shop 7.0, Visio 2003 and the of course the normal Office apps without any problems. Actually the other day I was playing with a tiff file in PhotoShop that was approximately 500meg. It was a little slow to convert the tiff to a jpeg but it didn't crash or hang.

I have to agree with my friend Chris De Herrera regarding the Hard Drive size. Acer states that they have a 60gig available but if you can afford to upgrade out of the box you should. I'm already down to 20gig free. :-(
