Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White

from: Acer


I bought my Aspire One to use as a dedicated industrial controller for a high-tech audio analyzer (Audio Precision ATS-2/HP running AP's custom software). It runs the software perfectly, the only glitch being one screen displays a little too large and requires a trivial workaround. I've found out it also works flawlessly tethered to my AT&T Motorola Q9h 3G smartphone. I get good results on both 3G and Edge networks, 3G obviously being faster. Battery life is good, the keyboard is large enough to touch type, the display is fairly bright on battery, etc. All in all Acer's done a really good job of implementing the Netbook idea.
