Posted on 09 July 2009 by

I have one of these Acer Aspire One Netbooks and it’s very handy for letting my kids log onto their favorite Club Penguin or Disney online sites without having them all over my MacBook Pro. In the interest of fair disclosure my Acer broke down once (keyboard completely stopped working) and was replaced by Amazon. Since then it’s been smooth sailing. Consensus seems to be that you rip out the Windows 98 Home that comes pre-installed and put in Windows 7. Technical specifications – 1 Acer Aspire One D150 Intel Atom 1.6Ghz 1GB 160GB 6 Cell Battery WebCam 10.1” XP Netbook – any color you like so long as it’s black, blue or red. This is a one day deal so if you’re interested order today (July 9).

    Damn you, Woot! I was/am/might be all set to buy an Asus 1005HA as a reward for successfully making it through the next week…what to do…

    I’m holding out for the netbooks with the VIA graphics chip later this year …

    I know I should hold out, but I want one for a trip in August…

    This is a very tempting Woot, but I think I am going to hold off and get the 1005HA, it looks like a better computer overall. Or I’ll change my mind ten more times and end up with a Macbook. Who knows.
