Yet more laptop stuff

minervasoloSo, the nice one I was eyeing up yesterday has gone (no realy surprise), leaving me with two reasonably priced Core Duo 2 processor laptops: an Acer and a Packard Bell (or, if I'm willing to pay about £100, a Sony). Poking reviews (of which there are very few for either) PB is apparently unreliable while Acer comes with a lot of strange, memory clogging software. So, does anyone know anything more about either brand? Which should I choose, or neither?
ETA
I have purchased the Acer. There wasn't one in town to look at, but I'm not going to find those sort of specs anywhere else for under £500. There's now a very good chance my insurance will cover the total cost, and maybe a bit more (I'm not going to tell them I've already bought a new laptop, obviously). What programs I buy will probably depend on how much more I get.
