Looks half decent, although anyone know anywhere that sells it cheaper?

I've also found it with linux installed. Any advantages to having a dual boot? And which is better to start off with, windoze or linux to start a dual boot?

The 120gig Linux version is in local Tesco for £199.

£45 for a bigger hard drive and XP is good value I think. Acer don't have the best name for quality but I'm not sure you could say that any make does these days, especially in the netbook market where costs are cut to the bone.

An 8.9" screen will be fine for the odd bit of net browsing or light work but don't hope to use it as a main laptop as you'll get eyestrain.

We sell these and have sold similar in work. The XP based Aspire Ones like you've linked are the nicest to use, and easily upgradable.

Just seen that acer a150 in a shop, and its tiny!!

Think i'll have to up my budget to something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Sat...ef=dp_return_1?ie=UTF8&n=560798&s=electronics

Again, same sorta questions, anything better for cheaper or anywhere cheaper etc..? Not worried about vista, as that will go. Will use XP or delve into windows 7.
