11.6-inch Acer Aspire One inches closer to our hearts, reality {Engadget}
Mar 22nd 2009 8:12PM Looks good. Reminds me of my old Toshiba Portege, except without the trackpoint. I wish they'd put in one instead, as well as decent-sized arrow keys. Unfortunately, the Canadian version will probably have a bilingual failboard like the first Aspire One, with a ridiculous and unnecessary key where the right half of the left shift key is supposed to be, and a bizarre upside-down return key.

Dec 17th 2008 2:25AM Agreed. Plus they might be able to fit in a better keyboard, too.

Nov 6th 2008 5:47PM Yeah, and American's actually spend more per capita in taxes for health care than Canadians do:

Samsung's NC10 netbook benchmarked and in the wild {Engadget}
Oct 13th 2008 10:59PM Also, hopefully they'll keep the rectangular Enter key, even if they decide to sell it with a bilingual keyboad. The Aspire Ones in Canada have a bizarrely shaped upside-down Enter key and a \ key between it and the ' key. (As opposed to putting that key above the Enter key and beside the ] key.)
Windows Gurus to infiltrate retail stores, tell you why Vista rules {Engadget}
Sep 7th 2008 4:10PM I bought a Toshiba L350, and the thing took at least a couple hours to get Vista ready (I should have used a stopwatch). Bizarrely, it ran DF slower than my 1.2 GHz Pentium M ultraportable on XP. I took it back, since not all the hardware was compatible with Ubuntu "out of the box".
Aspire One modding continues: swapping SSD for capacious HDD {Engadget}
Aug 16th 2008 4:27PM Why not just buy the model that comes with a hard drive?
More Treo Pro details emerge {Engadget}
Aug 16th 2008 3:50PM Except for the built-in GPS and HSPDA, those specs could have come from 2003.

Jul 17th 2008 10:36PM @Hold: Make the controller rumble when it hits. If you stop moving the sword in response, you parry and can bring it back for another blow. If you keep moving it forward, your opponent slips past your defense and slashes you.
Origami Experience 2.0 finally coming to a UMPC near you {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2008 2:30PM Ah, yes, because I like devices to be slick and functional, rather than cluttered and confusing. My Nokia's setup looks a lot better than this piece of garbage, and I consider the Nokia to be barely useful. This is the best they could do with a UMPC?
