If your going to get one for xp don't get an SSD as it will be dog slow. Although saying that if your just going to surf then get a linux one anyway as they are super fast. (got one at christmas for the little lady).

 

Have to say been very impressed with the Acer Aspire One so well worth it. Or for an extra £10 you can get a new Linux one.

 

Really just comes down to what you want it to do.

Not after SSD.

 

Just want to surf, do a bit of this and that, d/l some tunes, attach a few HDD's for data recovery etc, hence XP

 

then get the Acer one you listed above very good netbook for the price.

thought so, just needed it confirming to me :)

 

They are good, but pretty small.

 

If you can live with a bit of squinting every now and then it'll be fine.

 

Only other issue I have with mine is that everything slows to a snail's pace once AVG starts a scan and doesn't come back to life until it's finished.

i am sure this had 1GB RAM specc'd up?

 

Just arrived with 512 and checked the link again and it says 512

 

Can anyone who looked at it originally remember?

 

Basic model only comes with 512MB.

 

Only 'upgraded' models have 1GB...

512 extra on e-bay- £5 so not all lost, and an extra gig for £12. Go for that me thinks
