Several years ago, $350 would get you a good 10" DVD player. Now, $350 will get you a great full-performance netbook computer with an XP Windows operating system, 160GB hard drive, fast Intel Atom processor, and a 6-cell battery that lasts 5-6 hours. Like many laptops, the touch pad is difficult to master, as least for me. But, I use a mouse when I can. Found out last night, it fits well on an airplane tray, even if the person in front of you leans back. Played iTunes movie and music. Also, works well with my Blackberry Curve as a tethered modem. Fast graphics! Glad I waited for the larger 10-in. This baby performs as nearly as well as my $1,500 work laptop. GREAT computer, Acer!!!
Update: FYI, after doing a battery drain on purpose, it took just over 3 hours to reach a full recharge. PS: Just saw in the User's Guide you should do this 2 or 3 times soon after first using the computer.
