I bought my Aspire One via the Acer web site and their customer service has been excellent. This appears to be a great little mini laptop and has everything I need for work and play out of the office and home. I appreciate that it is pre loaded with XP and I have loaded a full copy of Office 2007 which is working to perfection. I have no hesitation in recommending this unit. I would like to see Acer bring out a larger battery ASAP and these units really do need a all in one leather/vinyl case to protect its glossy shell so please Acer have one designed and manufactured soon.

Pros: Windows XP, keyboard responsive, all ports work well, screen very clear, the 120gig HD is ample, easy to carry, lightweight, extremely portable, all in all a great little machine that can go anywhere.

Cons: no case protection, battery capacity poor, doesn't come with a secretary to do your work for you, should have come with full office 2007, touch pad a little unresponsive and hard to master.

@sango I bought a blue one last week at Officeworks, buying the demo one (because they had sold out) and with the $99 cashback it works out as $375 - bargain! I had been in the market for eeepc 901 (linux) at the same cost and almost identical specs.

Pros: Cheap, light and linux.
Screen is lovely, reading text and resolution is much nicer than I expected.
Battery is good for a notebook this size, I'm used to a Macbook with longer battery but I haven't found a PC that's any different.

Cons: The trackpad is weird... slowly getting used to it but right now using an apple keyboard and mouse - both larger than and weighing more than the laptop! I can handle the trackpad enough though.

Great little machine. For its size it seems to perform very well. I bought it for my daughter to take back and forth to class. We brought it to her university and after just a few minutes of fiddling with the settings, the wireless internet access was up and running.

Pros: Price
Internet access
Windows XP
Hard Drive size

Cons: Battery life is a bit short

I had just bought one yesterday, and it´s great. So far no complains.

Pros: OS is great, far better than the stupid "Windows XP Home Edition" that´s crashing all the time.
The rest of the specifications are good.

Cons: Battery Life isn´t quite what.
