Acer Netbook? Yes, Please.

Written by Brian on April 4, 2009 – 3:13 pm -

A couple months ago, I got an Acer Aspire one through an Acer promotion.  I was supposed to test it out for a month and then decide to send it back or buy it.

It turns out that Acer got busy, and they just got around to calling me to wrap up the promotion - about two and a half months after I received the unit.  I need to call them back on Monday to provide some feedback on my experience and make arrangements for the netbook they sent me.

My opinion?  Awesome.  I love the netbook.  I wrote up a review - with educators in mind - on Associated Content.  Check it out.

The arrangements?  I plan on buying it.  No doubt.  Now that I’ve used it at school and at Rutgers, I couldn’t imagine not having this nifty little toy.  So much better than my old, large, desktop-replacement laptop.
