So a while back I posted that I was in the middle of testing some of the top net books up for sale. All together I tested three different net books. The Acer Aspire One, the ASUS Eee PC 901, and the Lenovo IdeaPad S10.
Let’s start with the Acer Aspire One. The model I tested had an 8.9” (1024x600) widescreen, 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, and a 160GB Hard drive. Straight out of the box I was impressed with this tiny, lightweight net book. In keeping with the Acer standard it was very well put together and felt very sturdy, and did I mention shiny! After using the net book pretty exclusively over a weekend I found that it was good for general surfing, but when it came to doing any kind of work it really felt lacking. I ended up reaching for my Lenovo T60. But this is mostly just my preference, I believe with enough time with the device you would get used to the smaller keyboard and screen. This would also be great for kids, my five year old couldn’t put it down. On the Rob scale, out of 5 stars I give it 3.5. This would be a great holiday gift for kids, college students, and anyone that just does mostly email and surfing.
