    Yea i just checked it in the shop today. It is quite small. My provider was offering it on a 2 year contract. So i thought why not? Cause ive been customer for years and dont mind to stay 2 more years.
    Acer Aspire One got bigger keyboard or something else?
    What about the speed of Asus Eee 900 and Acer Aspire One? Which one is faster? Ive read somewhere that Eee Celeron is performing better than Atom and someone ran Adobe CS3 on the Eee PC 900.

    i'm not sure about the cpu speed.. intel atom is just meant for light user/power saving.. intel atom most netbook are using N270 1.6 GHZ while the eee 900 celeron M is rated around 900 MHZ.. but they are a whole different cpu.. atom is a 45nm? or something like that and celeron is 55 or something.. most netbook are using intel atom now.. speed.. i never really try.. besides running browsers and things.. at least my aspire one starts up faster than all my computer lol -tongue2


    Edit: link to buy Dell mini 9

    it was just a code lol.. many people digg on the lenovo s10 in US.. after one week, people cancelced the orders and went to buy the acer aspire one for price range of $250-$350 lol:smiling:
     
  9. anyways, it's not coming to canada... lenovo fails hard. really disappointed.

    guess i'll have to settle for a 400 DOLLAR aspire one....

    wahh i remember the first laptop: acer aspire one...
    it got my mom so pissed.
    so she was just looking for a comp to surf the net...and just last week, the price was only $350 USD.
    so she went to bestbuy, they said they were sold out. next day went again, then they said out of stock again but the truck is delivering more in two hours. two hours later, they said the laptops were reserved...............WTF? and the day before, they didn't even let her reserve one...
    but anyways,,,there's no cd drive in that one...

    there is NO CD DRIVE in any of the netbooks.. and acer aspire one is sold out within 3 hours in most places in BestBuy, you can blame the coupon users -lol lol some people printed like 2-3 $100 off coupon from the internet sign up.. so people went ahead and brought all of them and sold it on craigslist or ebay.. there is no way of anyone getting them besides on sunday when it was firstly new to bestbuy-devil

    Edit: here are some pictures of my aspire uno(one)

    Well, there's a reason Asus is not using the Eee tag on this puppy.
    A big HD, a dedicated gpu (it's the 9300M GS, btw), an branded speakers, and other extra features, I wouldn't expect this to dip down to even below $700.
