I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my very own Acer Aspire One. It should be somewhere near Portland about now. I'm glad you commented on the "cute factor." There is definitely something about small gadgets that attracts both tech savvy and casual consumers. Small is definitely cool, so long as the device remains usable. If you're looking into purchasing a netbook I'd recommend you carefully consider your choices of operating systems. Although Linux has come a long way in terms of usability, it can be incredibly difficult for the average user to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. If you're not willing to spend the time learning a little Linux, I'd suggest you go with a Windows model. Thanks for your comment Angela!

I'm glad to know that netbooks are functional in addition to being cute. It's smart not to dismiss the "cute factor" because I almost bought one simply because it came with a stylish pink carrying case that I could picture fitting in my purse. I would imagine that a lot of women share my point of view. Now that I know they perform well, I may just rush out to buy one. Thanks for covering this topic!
