As for HP, they look cool and usually have some nice options, but their power adapter port usually busts on you. I travel a lot, and I do a lot of plugging and unplugging the cord from the laptop. My experience has shown me that their ports tend to not hold up to wear and tear. If you plan on leaving it on a desk all the time, go for it, otherwise be warned.
The only reason to get an Acer is if you are really concerned about cost. If you want some cheap laptops, go for Acer, but if you want something reliable and going to work for you...get a Toshiba.
Thats my 2 cents.

yes i second that. the head of an IS&T department @ a company with about 2k employees said that Toshiba costs more but is the best when it comes to quality.
i have a brand new dell and had a minor problem with it... called up tech support and they walked me through taking it apart and reattaching a tiny keyboard cable.... bam after that fixed adn the guy i talked to was so awesome i talked to his manager and gave the guy a little strokie stroke... hopefully that = a nice xmas bonus around now.
I would go with dell personally... the price is right, and all th times i have talked to tech support have been butter.
