I've been saving up for a netbook for some time and am positive that I'm going to purchase an Acer Aspire One soon. And for some reason I really liked the blue one when I saw the pictures from various unpackings and reviews.

I think it should be an insuletta. That way 'insula' is free to be used for continents. I've always been annoyed at the distinction. I mean: definition of island: land poking out of water. So where's the diff? It's just a bit more land doing the poking, no?

*sighs* Getting the SSD with Linux would save 100 € (vs the XP). And I don't actually need a 120 gb hd.
I considered eee and Wind, but the eee is annoying and confusing me with all those models (and I bet that whichever model I'd choose would be unavailable in Austria) and the Wind is kinda cheap looking. Also I'm very happy with my Aspire 5920G, so Acer got bonus points.
True enough @ your point about the white one being mac-ish. I do like some of their designs, but dislike the whole apple system of charging way more than the product's worth and the Apple Updating thingy that keeps trying to install Safari... grrr.

I don't really need a 120Gb HDD, but 8gb is a little on the small side. Given this will probably replace my current laptop as my "random stuff" machine, I would quite like to go back to having an hdd in the laptop that's large enough to store a copy of my music collection (~20-something gb - current laptop is 60gb, but I have too much other crap on it), and even without that I can easily eat my way through 8gb of random other misc probably without even blinking.
I'm less concerned about Apple's prices, more a matter of hating their design decisions - OS X makes me feel like I'm trapped in a little claustrophobic box, and I won't surrender to the iPod masses despite my need want for a new media player of decent storage size. That, and they haven't got a netbook-like device (ok, there's the Air, but it's a tad too big and * ( ... )

*g* Those were the days, when you could back-up everything on a zip disk... playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. We totally live in the future.
