No need to lose a fast start under XP
I tried the Linux version in a shop, and the to-die for looks and spec were matched with a very rapid start, but my fear of the new and my general laziness persuaded me to go with the XP version, although with qualms about losing the 15-second start. Since finding out I could have a Hibernate option on XP by holding down shift when choosing how to shut down, I've been able to ensure fast starts after all. The machine is great, although I'd prefer the bigger battery they get in the US, and the 160Gb version they've started to sell in the UK.

This laptop is Awesome!!!!! easy to upgrade.
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and having been used to using larger laptops I was really impressed.

It easily fits in my bag, boots up fairly quick on xp.

However i thought I'd try and squeeze a little more performance out of it. I pgraded to 1.5 Gb of RAM and has Windows XP Professional fully installed, I also replaced the troublesome Atheros wireless card with an Intel 3945ABG wireless which works perfectly and a has a greater range than the original item.

Im not much of a techie but the upgrades were very easy to do. Longer lasting battery upradges are also available off certain well known aution sites should you want longers than 3 hrs battery life. With my upgrades battery has gone down to 2 hrs so il be doing that.

I actually prefer this to my desktop because i can use it in bed, theres a new 160gb and 200gb version out in the new year but 120bg is more than enough.

I thing i would suggest is to buy a case and screen protector, its fairly sturdy but being so small your gonna want to protect it.

Beware of hidden software cost
I have just purchased the Acer Asspre One Windows XP Home edition from a major retailer on the strength of the recommendations on Amazon. So far, it looks like an excellent item. However, I have found that by purchasing this item, I have been unknowingly locked into an Office 2007 60 day trial. (If you don't agree, you can't use the XP features.) You have to go through quite a fiasco to obtain a key that enables you to use the XP facilities, but, only if you agree to trial Office 07 for 60 days. Presumably, after 60 days I will only be able to continue use by paying the $149 dollars mentioned on the Microsoft link. Not being much of a computer boffin, I am very disappointed as I thought I bought this XP version thinking this would be an anxiety-free way to continue using XP (I have another computer that is Vista doesn't suit me). I am in a dilemna whether to try to get my money back or pay after the 60 day trial. If anybody has any advice please let me know. Thanks.

Fabulous bit of kit!
I bought the sapphire blue XP version about 6 weeks ago and I am in love with it! I was looking for a laptop for college but they are so heavy and bulky and this is small, compact and so light. In a shockproof case, I can just keep it in my bag with all my books. It comes with all the software ready installed (great for non-geeks like me!) and in 10 minutes of opening the box, I was ready to go. I have typed a full essay on the keyboard (I could imagine chunky fingers having problems when typing at speed), but it is so easy to get used to, even the touchpad mouse works ok, but I bought a USB mouse too. OK, so you have to buy an external DVD/CD drive, but I use it with a memory stick to load stuff from my PC to my netbook and vice-versa. I have absolutely no complaints, except maybe that it shows fingerprints all to easy. Honestly, I am not at all techie and this is the first gadget I have bought during the first week of its release. Even if you don't use it daily, it is a great little thing to shove in your bag and take into town - find a wireless cafe, sip hot chocolate and surf the net, whilst people watching at the same time. What could be better?

Acer Aspire 8GB version and the 120GB hard drive version
I bought 2 Acer Aspire one for the little one, which was the 8GB solid state version and the 120GB hard drive version for me. Both look well and came with Linux pre-installed. Both machine booted up quickly and the 120GB was the first to check for updates and there was quick a few to updates to download and it did take an hour or so to complete. I had to manually start the update for the 8GB version with no fuss.

My daughter was happy with the fact that she could down load music and the sound, for such a small machine, was quite clear crisp. both machines are light to carry. Im glad i made the right choise.

Very good machine for the price
