I’ve got two of the Aspire One’s a metallic Blue and metallic Red one (for my wife); I put some more RAM in both of them but only cause I had some spare, the wireless range is awesome (a problem in my double brick house) and the battery life is the only one that I have seen that says 5 hours and can last for 6!! both of them have the 3G cards in them for mobile wireless on the road, and we plug them into the 24” ASUS LCDs when we are working, the video card instantly detects the external video source and dims the screen, and changes to the external screen resolution. One of the best PCs I’ve owned in 25 years. Also keep an eye out on the Acer website, they have Factory direct Cash Back deals too! (a nice way to get an extra $70 off)
Here is the ‘spin’ from Lifehacker review (IMHO the best of the 5)
The Aspire One now sports a bigger screen and a six cell battery for around 5 hours of run time. If you’re planning on using your netbook for video conferencing or any webcam-dependent task, consider that the Aspire only sports a 0.3 MP webcam, with no option to upgrade. Other specs are more standard: 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 10.1” display, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, WiFi b/g, SD/MMC card reader, and a weight of 2.95 pounds. The Aspire can be upgraded to access WiMAX and 3G networks.
