Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life This instant

I was unable to connect to the internet because the internet cable jack on the 1st computer I received was defective. Amazon rushed me I no-hassle replacement, received today, and it works fine.

This Windows XP mini is way more user friendly than my $3,000 dual-core piece of frustrating VISTA trash.

I also bot the 2 gig memory upgrade. I shut down, removed the one screw and opened the small bottom panel. The 1 Gig card easily popped out and the 2 Gig in. Computer immediately registered 2 Gig memory.

I also ordered a USB DVD player and immediately downloaded VLC because the windows media player failed to play my movie (about as useful as VISTA). VLC played it perfectly.

I uninstalled Norton (it immediately makes it's annoying presence known). I installed my anti-virus software. Then downloaded Malwarebytes Antimalware. It immediately found and destroyed 7 viruses.

It takes a Norton-Removal-Tool (probably available on google search) to pry all the Norton pieces off (or they conflict with other virus programs, allowing the bad stuff on).

I downloaded Open Office for the first time rather than try to hassle getting my old Word for Windows installed and then have it not handle all the new DOCX and other new Microtrash file formats. I WAS UP AND RUNNING WITH OPEN OFFICE IN MINUTES. IT READS IN ALL MY OLD DOC, EXE, AND POWERPOINT FILES AND SEEMS TO HANDLE THE NEW FORMATS, TOO. I think I'm done with Microsoft Word. And as soon as Google gets the new Chrome operating system up and running I'm very much looking forward to leaving Microsoft Windows and the piece of Vista trash far behind. Surely the world is waiting for an answer to Vista (other than Apple)!

I have noticed the screen is small for reading my news sites, but the computer seems as fast as my big Vista and as fast as my top of the line Fujitsu laptop.

So, I can leave the important stuff at home and travel with this little beauty and a 1.5 Terabyte USB drive. If it just had a GForce graphics card, I think it might replace my high end machines.

I'm looking forward to the day we get a transparent operating system that will simply let me run my applications. Google Chrome may be it.

This Toshiba seems like a real value for my buck.

Buy Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life

Recd this AAO 10.1 a few weeks. Also, like another post, I cannot hear/feel the fan running. Some other people said their fan is too loud, etc. So, I don't know what is going on with the fan. I sent many emails to Acer and they were no help and told me to telephone Acer, which I did. Very unfriendly people there, who didn't seem to want to help at all. Several calls, long time on hold, several cut-offs, and finally spoke to someone who said "yes," the fan was working "all the time" even though I couldn't hear it. So, at this moment I don't know what the heck is going on with the fan.
Some programs were supposed to be installed on the computer, which were not installed. Aver kept telling to get the programs from the Recovery disks. There were no Recovery disks enclosed? Plus, there is no DVD/CD drive. No way to play DVDs if you do have external drive, because the MS Media Player installed does not play DVD movies. Acer said to load some other programs to play the DVDs.
All in all, I would not purchase an Acer product again, especially because of their 'out-sourced' service/tech support. Not worth it!Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

Fiat 500 Lounge

O segmento dos compactos de imagem vem se firmando cada vez no país, e o lançamento do 500 comprova isso mais uma vez. Porque chega a vez de a Fiat trazer sua releitura do charmoso Cinquecento italiano, cuja primeira versão era caracterizada por ser espartana para oferecer um carro acessível no pós-guerra, mas ainda assim seu desenho único foi adorado por 10 entre 10 italianos desde os anos 1950, mesmo depois de ter sido sucedido pelo Seicento.

Também chamado de Cinquecento, ele chega ao Brasil em duas versões: a Sport, que começa em R$ 62.880,00, e a requintada Lounge, ambas sempre vindo com o motor 1.4 16v de 100 cv e 13,4 kgfm de torque, mas com câmbio manual de seis marchas ou Dualogic de cinco, este com modo esportivo que melhora muito o comportamento do carro.

Além do desenho que chama a atenção e os sorrisos de todos por onde passa, o 500 atrai pelo interior muito caprichado, com faixa do painel na cor do veículo, quadro de instrumentos reunido em um instrumento só, e bancos de couro, que podem ter desde a cor preta até o chamativo vermelho.

No caso do Lounge, a decoração mais elegante fica por conta dos cromados nos frisos da dianteira e laterais e nos retrovisores, e pelo teto de vidro fixo. Falando em itens de série, sua lista de equipamentos impressiona: ar-condicionado digital, interior diferenciado, sistema de som com MP3 e Blue&Me, trio elétrico e sete airbags, entre outros.

Com todos esses atributos, os R$ 64.910,00 pedidos por ele não ficam tão assustadores, especialmente para quem aprecia seu desenho e não se importa com seu espaço um pouco reduzido. A Fiat pretende vender seu retrô em 150 das 520 concessionárias do Brasil, e integrar o cliente ao clube L'Unico lançado com o Linea, que oferece vantagens exclusivas aos compradores dos carros mais luxuosos da linha.
