Re: Netbooks, which one to choose?

["Tim" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A mate just bought an 11.1" Acer Aspire.  I was very impressed -
I had to take W8 off it as it wouldn't run the app he bought it to run, but
it was very thin, light, quick (6.5 WEI for all except the HDD) and cheap -
he paid 210 but it was "through work" so I think there was some
sort of deal.  No optical drive but much more useable than 10"
Netbooks - I can find out the exact part number if you are interested.

Cheers

Tim.
