TIGGER, I just set up an Aspire One for a prof yesterday. It's a nice little unit. I was impressed. For its size, it's a nice peice of kit. The screen is a little restrictive but for someone who actually needs portable computing, rather than a folding desktop unit, it's a pretty good deal. Good find.

I keep tossing the idea around of getting one just for the pictures I take on trips...hmmm...

that is why I want one. I'd want one with SSD though. I don't think you would have to worry about HD crashes or vibration as much packing it around.

God Rae, you are so damn smart! That's exactly why I bought it! It was either this or an external hard drive that I could download sd cards into. If I bought a 1T HD and a case that accepted memory cards, it would have cost about....$200.

This thing is cool but I still have my reservations. I'm almost totally buying it for the rally and I'm not sure that I have any use for it beyond that. I already have two lap tops as it is!

Yea you just described my lap tops... Hell, it was worse when I had the XPS 2010, I hated even moving that thing across the room! Right now, I'm just wondering if I'll miss not having built in 3G... of course, I can always just get an aircard. Oh for anyone that is interested, the Acer that takes a sim card will take virtually any sim, so you are not restricted to ATT.
