Bud on the Bayou: 
I had been searching for fully functional laptop computer but smaller in size to be easy to carry around for a long time. I ran across this one in late November and it seemed to be the right thing. I have a desktop I use in my office room but wanted the wireless capabilities and portability of the smaller portable computer. Yeah, I tried an iPhone and it was not what I wanted either, I needed a real computer. This computer is absolutely great and does everything I expected and much more. In fact it's hotter...

Fortunately I brought an external mouse. If you happend to see an idiot at the airport using...more info
A best buy for sure:
I travel frequently and the old Gateway laptop I was using kept getting heaver and slower, so I purchased an Acer Apire One. It's perfect for my needs. I use it primairly for keeping up on e-mails, taking meeting notes and access to the internet. The keyboard and screen is a little small, but any inconvenience is definitely overcome by the low price and light weight.
I am very happy with the battery life and periodically forget to check the meter before it runs out of juice.
I would highly...more info
