I have an Acer One… and a tankbag! It really is an awesome little computer! I bought mine about two years ago, and it still runs well. I HIGHLY recommend buying an oversize battery back for it. Although the battery was significantly larger, it’s still smaller/lighter than carrying the charger around with you, if you think about it. I got about 8 hours of battery life, which means i could take it to class all day and not worry about sitting next to an outlet or anything.

I got a Dell Mini10v for under 300 bucks and installed MAC OSX on it. It’s terrific for carrying with me to class on the bike and it’s the only way I would ever carry an Apple computer with me without some kind of insurance on it. The keyboard is also bigger than most netbooks.

I have the 10.1″ Acer Aspire One and I can tell you it is nothing short of amazing. This isn’t the Acer of years ago (which were crap), but a very high quality product that should be respected. The smaller screen one and the bigger one are the same size, except for a higher capacity battery on the larger model (7 hours or so, in my experience) and the obviously larger screen, as well as some minor cosmetic differences.

For $300, give or take, they can’t be beat.

I have had bad experiences with Acers… that is why I prefer the ASUS EEE PC.
Runs on Linux and if you really need to you can go XP.

I got the Samsung NC10 shortly after it came out. Basically the same as the Acer with a 10.2″ screen. I prefer the larger screen, slightly bigger keyboard and mouse buttons under the touchpad. Whichever one you get, go for the 6 cell battery as they can then last 4-6 hours on a full charge. Really makes them great for portability.
