i dont understand why people buy netbooks. A little more and you can get the complete experience, more power, storage capacity, drives, better resolution etc.
i myself wouldnt buy one of these. am ok to carry the litttle extra weight and get a better performance than to buy these and live in mediocrity. ]]>Jul 1st 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/

I don't need the higher performance of a laptop while traveling or out of the house. I have a custom desktop for that purpose - and I can use remote desktop if I need high performance and I'm away from the house.
People buy netbooks because they're cheap and they're small & light. I doubt many people have them as their primary PC, but for people who can't afford $1000 laptops a $350 option is definitely welcome.]]>Jul 1st 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Yeah, I mean, a giant light up logo on the back of your laptop that let's everyone at Starbucks know what brand laptop you use would be totally tacky and totally bashed on by Engadget too, amirite?

I'd rather live in mediocrity than oblivion. Be sure to copy your comments and paste them into every netbook review. I so enjoy hearing that argument over and over and over.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/
See, cost, portability, and eight hours of battery life were all critical for me, too, so I bought a real, 13" notebook (albeit ULV), which manages to fill all my daily computing needs. That's just not something that a netbook can do.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/

This latest platform has shown quite a bit of improvement. Now if only AMD could convince OEMs to use their platform with anything that isn't bottom of the barrel batteries. ]]>Jul 1st 2010 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.ideapadtoday.com/the-lenovo-ideapad-y460-multimedia-laptop-has-hit-the-shelves-updated-spring-2010-review.htm). i got mine too. and it works perfectly to me :) ]]>Jul 15th 2010 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/Jul 1st 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/4 hour battery time is good but it could be something like 5...

I hear ya Kyzgar, any news on when the 1218 will be around Engadget?]]>Jul 1st 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/01/acer-aspire-one-521-and-721-review/
I'm actually kind of glad the 532g got canceled. I wouldn't have noticed this otherwise. The AMD seems like a better processor and bus architecture than the Intel Atom anyway. The Intel stuff just seems to be the same old crap year after year, and nobody seems to be able to put Ion in a sub-12" device for whatever reason. I'm glad AMD stepped up to pick up this ball obviously dropped by Intel & NVidia.

I'll probably pop an another GB of RAM in there though. I don't care about battery life as I don't expect to use it out of reach of a plug for more than an hour at a time.

Update: Upgraded it to 2GB and Win7 Pro and LOVING IT. Best 10" netbook out today. Posted a review on Amazon for it.
