Acer Aspire One – GREAT price $268.99!
I first saw these on HSC for $499 without tax and shipping. I was getting ready to go on my cruise and thought it’d be easier to lug around than my 17″ MacBook Pro. Plus I’d be less worried about it.
I paid a lot more for the eggshell-colored one I got. It’s not only easy to use, it’s so cute (this is Grandma Geek talking). I’ve included the specs below but will just tell the things I love about it.
- I can carry it in my purse
- It has xp
- It doesn’t weigh much and is small
- It has memory card reader slots
- Three usb slots
- A webcam
- A 160 gig hard drive. You can get them with a 120 gig hard drive at Staples, Sam’s Club and others, but they cost more than this one.
- One gig memory.It’s my little travel computer, I don’t need more.
- It has a 3 cell battery
- Trackpad isn’t hard to use although I bought a nice wireless mouse to use with it.
- If you want to make new friends and you’re using it in public, you will get people to stop and ask about it.
- It does have an internet network card so it’s easy to log on anyplace there is a server
- It’s cute.
I even use it at home. I can keep it open on my kitchen counter and do little things instead of going to the bigger computers.
The one thing it doesn’t have is an optical reader/writer. No problem, I use a flash drive or an external hard drive to load programs and if it’s on the ‘net, then I just download it from there.
