The first time I saw the Acer Netbook was at Costco. It’s a very cute machine that’s ideal for travel. Though I didn’t buy it when I first saw it, I may in the future if I go on a trip that doesn’t need the full power of a laptop.
If you are interested in getting on, then TigerDirect is having a sale of Acer Aspire One AOA150-1006 Netbook for $299 with free shipping. Features of the Netbook include:

Elsewhere, J&R Music & Computer has ASUS EPC1000HA-BLK001X Netbook for $349.99 with free shipping.
Buy.com has Fantom 1TB G-Force Hard Drive for $100 with free shipping. I bought one last time when it was on sale. Check it out if you need a massive storage.
Ive been looking into buying a netbook recently. I really like the Dell mini 12, but I was hoping for a better price than the currently $500 it’s going for. The aspire one seems to be a decent price for the processing power. I don’t know if a 9″ screen is large enough for me though. I would also be okay with a 13″ screen, but those come with too many bells and whistles that push the price up.
Do you have any thoughts?
I think the main reason people buy network instead of a full-power notebook is for its size. 9″ screen makes it very good for travel. If you want to buy one with 13″ screen, then you lose the main attraction of the network.
i recently got a refurbed acer aspire one from tigerdirect for $221. including shipping. 1.6 ghz processor, 1 gb ,memory & 160gb hd.
LOVE IT!! it does absolutely everything i want. as for lack of cd/dvd rom? go get a virtual cd program, copy the file/program to a flash card and install from there. i’m an oldschool gamer, i’ve been playing diablo via “virtual clone drive” with no problems.
my netbook is GREAT!!
