Re: Anyone have a netbook?
Hello,
I've purchased an Acer Aspire One netbook about 2 months ago, and to be honest with you, I'm not very happy with it, fortunately i have a backup laptop.
I mostly decided to purchase it for the size. I wanted one which will fit into my thin briefcase. I thought that the screen size didn't matter because I can easily connect an external monitor/keyboard/mouse etc, but my expectations have not been fully met.
Although the harddrive is 160GB, it's quite slow in the navigation.
I have also found that there are websites which are not quite compatible with the screen size, so occasionally i have to adjust the size to 75% in order for me to scroll through the page properly.
I also wanted to install several programs like Photoshop and dreamweaver which has slowed down the machine.
I think it's a great machine if you just want to use for simple browsing, e-mailing, or if you want to take with you to clients for presentation purposes, but in my opinion, it should not be used as a substitute for your existing machine.
