    Why...? By then netbooks will be the old fad. Rumor has it there's this cool new touch tablet coming out? Heard about that?

    @Tim Reid: You can just, you know, buy one.


    I personally dislike wireless mice by default. I prefer to have the wired, and be able to choose wireless if that's my thing. Really, if you use this as a media hub, a good remote would be better.

    Does the 10" have the same frame with more efficient use of space? Otherwise, it seems like they are kind of going the wrong direction in the netbook size race and defeating the purpose of purchasing a netbook.

    Amazon has that particular model for $258.99. (XP/1GB/8GB-SSD/Blue)


    So, it seems to be the going rate for that model.

    I was busy paying attention to the specs as listed on the amazon website.


    These are the same unit, no?

    That's pretty nice from a modding standpoint.


    I've enjoyed modding my Dell Mini 9 quite a bit.

    It's taken some elbow grease, time and money, but it's a fun hobby for me that's been loads of fun and had rendered a VERY nice running little machine.

    All these netbooks seem to come with 1GB RAM. Anyone know if, in general, they are upgradeable to 2GB?

    @Geisrud:


    Yes they can, the reason why most are sold with 1GB is that Microsoft has an deal with netbook manufacturers for cheap Windows XP but the netbooks must not have more then 1GB, but the user is welcome to install more

    @Costermonger: Awesome. I seem to recall reading something about that deal MS made with the OEMs regarding system specs for WinXP machines.


    Thanks

    They've been doing deals like this in Japan for months. Only the service here costs 30 bucks a month (actually 33 with the yen so high).

    So the big bad Aspire One is $1540. How does that compare to the iPhone's yearly cost of $1975? I'll bet I can copy and paste on the One... and I bet if I install Safari, it won't crash on me every time I load up Gizmodo. I can't even surf the web on my iPhone anymore. By the way, the iPhone price came from Giz's article: [gizmodo.com]

    Taking advantage of this post:


    I am considering giving an Aspire one (NOT this Radio Shack model)to my 11 years old daugther.


    She will use for basic homework, browsing and play flash games.


    Do you recommend this machine?


    Thanks for the input.

    @DeLarge: It's a fairly well rated machine from what I've read about it.



    Known for good keyboard but so-so battery life. Two SD slots is cool too.

    Good screen, good build quality.

    Difficult to upgrade, so get the max RAM if you can.
