Asus or Acer

[Guest me075064]

I'm a proud owner of an Acer Aspire one, but looking at these forums would seem to indicate that more of you have the EEE PC, I was just wondering what made you the choose the Netbook you own.

I went to the shop looking for a Netbook and just liked the look of the AA1. I really should have done more research but as it happens I've gotten on really well with the Acer and have gotten to grips with it, and have learnt about (and blogged about) how to get it to do what I need.

Although If anyone has manged to get talksport streaming please let me know. ;-)

I ended up buying an AA1 too (Blue, WinXP, 1GB ram, 160Gb HDD). Its very good looking, has a good keyboard and is cheap (£230 for that model)!

With some of the other netbooks they seem to be approaching full size laptop prices!

Only downside for me is that the battery is a bit weedy, but other than that its great!

I know what you mean about the battery.

I see that there are longer lasting ones on Ebay, I might give one a go.

I've got the Linux SSD version - ideal for surfing.

I think the initial device was the EeePC so naturally most went for those.

I've finally bought the Acer as it was a bargain price in Tesco and so far quite happy with it running W7.

I found the Linux that was preinstalled too restrictive slow and crashed quite often on the first few days so jumped to MS OS that works without too much hastle finding drivers codecs for vid and sound etc.
