I got this because I find the regular full-size laptop too heavy to lug around (and inconvenient at airport security). Plus it has Windows XP (I wanted to avoid Vista). I disabled most of the accompanying software (too much of this for my taste), so it boots up very fast. (It came with Microsoft Office, but the free-trial runs out after 60 days, so I just loaded OpenOffice). The keyboard is small but manageable, and my hands are quite big. The space bar is above the scratch-pad-mouse thing, which is not where I'm used to, but I got accustomed to it quite quickly. It is a little inconvenient to use ctrl-shift-end, because you actually have to press three keys on the left plus the End key (some keys have two functions depending on whether you hold down the Fn key), but that's no big deal. The mouse-pad thing is very sensitive, so sometimes I click or drag things by mistake, which can be a pain. The actual click buttons on the left and right of the pad are quite hard to click and hold down, which can also be annoying (for instance, if you want to drag).
The glossy cover does collect oil from my hands, rather like having a pair of glasses that need to be cleaned frequently.
It doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, which could potentially be a negative if you need to load software, but I got a 2MB memory stick for the USB and so can transfer files from my desktop very easily.
It is very light and portable, you can just stick it in your briefcase no problem. I don't care that the screen is small, it still looks good. I don't do a lot of surfing on it, but I have watched youtube clips without a problem. I only get a "low" or "very low" signal strength on my home wireless network (vs stronger measures on a regular laptop), but so far it hasn't been a problem.
I got the 3-cell model, and the battery runs probably three hours.
Overall, at $375 for the 3-cell model, I think it's a really good deal.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOA150-1126 8.9-Inch Netbook - White.
