lilac_jive · 07-16-2009, 06:00 PM

Just got it today! Love it! It was the one that I posted from woot the other day. Of course, I downloaded the Sony software and when I try to log in it won't let me, but then again I'm at the bar and my connection sucks.

But regardless, I love it! Squee!!!!

ah one of the new ones. Do they have a better keyboard than the old 8.9 inch model?

Edit: that's a whole lot of memory!! :P

Congratulations! Which OS did it come with? Are you eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 7?

Laz116 · 07-16-2009, 07:31 PM

It is obviously broken down already, since she doesn't answer.

Maybe 160 Gigs of RAM isn't enough [running away to hide].

Windows can't handle that kind of configuration. Obvious development flaw from Acers side. Shame on them.

Tsk! Now now

I do believe dear lilac has confused RAM memory with storage memory. The latter she has 160 GB. Anyway, congratulations.

YAY !!! I bought the 8.9" model on July 4th,as at the time when I was purchasing it from a friend who got it as a gift and didn't want it,I still had my Sony TZ laptop which has an 11" screen...getting the 10" seemed too close-and I LOVE having the netbook.I am just finally getting around to setting it up with my reader,and that's been a nightmare. One of the first times I used the netbook was to use wifi from my nail salon during a pedicure appointment-I've sinced toted it around town.And my timing could NOT have been better,after a sudden death of the HD on my Sony TZ (but I should have it back in 2-3 weeks). How do you like it so far ? I'm thinking of getting one for my dad. I also have the 160GB HD - my other half wanted this one,but he got a great deal on a floor model at Datavision in June -they screwed up and sold him the 16GB one,he's had some minor issues with it-but overall has loved it,and the freedom it allows (especially since without a job currently,also went his company issued laptop)-and I am finding I feel better about not possibly ruining my expensive ultraportable. I am presently posting from outside while having a nice refreshing beverage

Congrats, lilac! I love my netbook (as you know)!

rlparker · 07-16-2009, 09:12 PM

Hi L.J., congrats on your new acquisition--sounds like fun

lilac_jive · 07-16-2009, 10:00 PM

Thanks to RWood, for pointing out my mistake. In my defense, I was at the bar (nothing to do with me knowing nothing about computer hardware!). It has XP on it, and yes, you can load Windows 7 on it. I just need to get Office on it though.
