Yes please!

But really, I hope something great gets announced at CES.]]>Jan 3rd 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/
Also, thanks to Acer's marketing and distribution success, almost everyone has an Acer Aspire One, and I bet almost everyone will have one of these in a year or so. S10s seem much less common.]]>Jan 3rd 2009 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 3rd 2009 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/
The Lenovo S10
- looks great and has a decent keyboard
- has an expresscard slot (slap an expresscard SSD in there or eSATA/Firewire/TV Tuner/3G card/etc)
- has a 5400RPM (1.8") Harddrive.
(Everyone should take note... 5400RPM 1.8" drives are available on the market. These are much faster than the more common 4200RPM drives.)
- one drawback is its (relative) heaviness.

Samsung NC10
- Really good looking
- only 2.8lbs WITH a 6-cell battery (!!)
- The best feeling/most spacious keyboard of the half-dozen models I looked at
- No expresscard/5400RPM harddrive

I use mine. I bought a 16gb SD card that I use to backup all my photos to store in a fire proof off-site safe. This could also be done with a USB flash stick but SD cards are cheaper and are typically smaller.

Beforehand I had a HP2133 mini, who's screen resolution was too high (everything tiny) and it ran very hot, YouTube choppy.

In addition my wife has a MSI Wind which is highly recommendable too.

Even better if you can get your mitts on a MSI wind rebrand (such a Medion's) they are even cheaper, better looking (or at least more colorful) and they all add some upgrade: either 2 gigs of DDR2, or BT/WIFI or dtv-B or all of the above, which you would otherways have to buy, set up and pay by yourself.

Recently I got a beautiful new Vaio TT, but still I can't get myself to put my pimped up white wind on eBay.
It's just too good and it's got too many possible uses to get rid of it.
I have no doubt that if you would opt for one of them you will end up loving it too.]]>Jan 3rd 2009 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/]]>Jan 4th 2009 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 3rd 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 3rd 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 3rd 2009 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/
They advertise this offer, then 3 times during the process for cashback they try to force you into an extended year of warranty. You follow it to the letter, then they deny your claim because they apparently never received the paperwork? WTF?

Acer, that was a very bad marketing scam. If you want people to buy, don't try to tell them it's cashback when really, you don't ever intend on giving it to the customers.]]>Jan 4th 2009 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 4th 2009 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 4th 2009 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/Jan 4th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/03/more-10-inch-acer-aspire-one-rumors-trickle-out/

Also, although it has XP (a requirement for me) it must be a downgrade, because it has IE7. I HATE IE7 and would rather go Apple than use that.

IF I can get this to work with the internet, and IF I can get IE7 off it, I will buy several.

But, so far it's a 6 thumbs down.]]>Feb 7th 2009 8:17AM
