Question Anyone know anything bout the Acer Aspire 1500?

Here

I'm looking to replace my current notebook with the Aspire 1501 which has a 1400x1050 res screen. I currently run a 2 display configuration, the resolution of my 2nd display is 1024x768.

However, the tech specs for this unit quotes;

Simultaneous LCD and CRT display with 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution, 16.7 million colours, 75 MHz
Does this mean that the resolution of the inbuilt display will have to be reduced to 1280x1024 if I want to run a 2nd display (which will look ****e), or is this restriction placed merely due to memory constraints of the graphics card, meaning that 1400x1050 with a 2nd display of 1024x786 would be possible (this addresses less memory than the quoted config)?


I have posted this question to Acer tech support both in the UK and the States with zero response

Hi mate,

I've got the Acer Ferrari laptop in the house, it has the same spec for the display. I'll check it with LCD and external monitor tonight for you if you want.

That would be just the ticket, and would make me a very happy chappy

Being a big style Ferrari fan I eyed the Ferrari laptop, but woz a bit concerned bout the looks I'd get if I got it out in public - it's very 'bright'

Many fanx
