All the mini hard drives are pretty small, but the ASUS Eee 900a and 1000, come with 1 gig mem and 100 g hard drive as standard,aslo comes as a wireless while Dell will charge you for it.

Oh and the 900 {is 8.9 screen and 1000 is 10 inch}

Thank you ... You are right about that.....

My friend has one! It is SOOO cute!

But it drives me insane when I try to type on it. But I think it's just one of those things you have to get used to. He doesn't have any problems on it.

The only thing is that since it's so small it's really easy to have it stolen. I've heard of a couple that have been stolen, including his (though it was returned...pretty crazy story, anyway). But as long as you're careful with it and you can handle typing on a really tiny board, I think it's awesome!

Ebay's got some steals right now. ty

yes i grabed mine for 200 dollars ..and am on it right now ;o))) the little zip drives are extreemly easy to store data in

Acers are known to stop recongising the wireless feature. And for the keyboard to fail. One of the reasons I try to get anyone buying a mini laptop to get a Asus, or Lenvo is they're suport,call them and they will either fix it or replace it. Acer well, they're customer suport is outsourced from the States and usually are hard to reach. Check the bbb ratings on the Acer One. Lots of complaints.

I have a lenovo...which is made by IBM. I LOVE it! There were 3 at Circuit City when I got mine. I think the other 2 were HP and Acer. The prices were $299, $349 and $399. The one I got was $349. The outer case on all 3 were the same size, but the other 2 had 8" screens and the lenovo had a 10" screen. It also had the biggest hard drive of the 3. I have a desktop as well as a regular laptop. I only use this one for email and looking on the internet. Like I said I really Love mine. It is also great for travel.

I've seen them at Radio Shack and they have a $99.00 one ,but you sign up for a 2 year contract and get a USB Port and pay a monthly fee. My 14 year old wants one,she loves the small size and that it's so light weight. I personally find them too small.

I also have to take a medical treatment (not chemo), but it is an intraveneous treatment and it takes all day. When I saw that the doctors office I go to get my treatment now had wireless internet, that was what made my mind up on getting the mini laptop. I took it last month and it was great to be able to chat with people while I was sitting around all day.

Thanks everyone......

I have the Acer Asprire One mini laptop (netbook) in girly PINK and I Love it. I also use Dell computers and my other notebook is a Mac. I chose the Acer because of the Hard Drive size 160 gig.

I have had no problems with it losing the wireless connection. Maybe I am lucky.

It was very easy to set up, the screen is a little smaller (8.9 inches) but if I cannot read something I just increase the font size. I bought mine for $348.00 but right now they are on sale at Walmart.com for $299.00.

What is really fun is when I take SophieKate to the dog park I can take it also in her bag, when she prefers to play with another dog over me I have entertainment.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Im getting an Acer One in blue. Make sure if you get one, get the 6 cell battery over the 3. It will last longer unplugged. Remember if you get it from walmart, they have easy return policies.

My hubby has one mini latop HP I think...he was so excited getting it and now hates it coz its hard to type, hard to read...It gives you a pain in the neck.

What do you think of this one?

I am using the Acer Espire One right now. I love it. I have had it about a month. It is a great little laptop. The price is really good too.

I think this is the best one I've seen yet for the price. I've seen some with the same specs for alot higher.

How do you like the size and being able to see the screen?

[MissSophie]

I have to wear my glasses whether I use a huge monitor or this one. I see the screen just fine with my glasses on. I had the AssesE and liked it but like the Acer better because it runs WindowsXP. I have no problem with the screen. It is much better than the Asses.

I agree with the glasses thing and having XP on this one also. I have the Acer Aspire ONe also. I'm loving it. I kept the desktop comp & use the notebook to surf & chat. I like the size for travel when I'm working out of town.
