I have an ACER Aspire One.

I got that one because it has 160 Gb hard drive
It came with a free upgrade to 2 Gig RAM
It was cheap (about $500 SGD, I think a bit less)
It has a 10.1 " screen.
The screen is clear and crisp and handles Vid very well.
It has a good sized keyboard
It came with a 6 cell battery, meaning 6 hours of life away from the plug
It came with Windows XP
Wifi
Bluetooth (Though I don't use this)
Ethernet
It is light (just over 1.5 Kg)
I can put it in my bag and take it everywhere!

So when I travel (which I do a lot) I can take it and either hop in a wireless hotspot or connect to Broadband in a hotel, easy as!

Was invaluable when I went to Germany, same in Bankok etc.... Just an adjunt to my desktop, I keep it on a side table next to the couch and flick it on to check something on the web or Email whenever I feel like it....

Also use it for Digital comics (X-men still rule), as the screen is a great size when rotated 90 deg. thanks to am EEC app.
