Bear in mind that it is a pain to get the ACER Cashback, Also the extended warranty has to be registered within 7 days of Purchase, also it has a pretty $hitty Battery life, so be mindful of that, but other than that, it is the best specs for a laptop under 500$.
I hope the Trackpad works on your piece.
===========================
PS: I bought the Acer and returned it for a cashback because the trackpad was dead on arrival. but This is a better deal than the Toshiba .
Also it has a full numberpad.
Edit: This deal is still open, Jst checked they have plenty of stock.
I did this the other week for my mother. Great specs for the price IMO.
