Aspire One

After a week long trip to Prague, the Aspire One has proven to be a vastly more usable machine than the EEE. I have nothing against the Asus – I just wish I’d waited and bought the 901 instead of the 701. But with the offer on the Acer, the decision was made.
The keyboard suffers from the same problem as the larger Dell I have from work – it’s very easy for me to accidentally hit the trackpad and move the insert point while typing. But the 82% keyboard is perfectly usable even with my big paws! The display is clear and crisp, and displays enough text to be useful for previewing photos. I’m not going to get into any photo editing here though – that’s what the pair of wide screens at home are for!
A bit more battery life for longer plane journeys would be good – but at least it’s compact enough to use in an economy class seat!
I’m on Facebook, too!
