Advantages: Cheap, easy to configure and use

Disadvantages: Poor documentation, short battery life

I thoroughly impressed with my Acer Apsire One. I bought the 512Mb ram, 8Gb flash version in the summer and it has had constant use.

Pros:
1. Comes with Linux (Linpus) installed.
2. Very simple to get wireless comms' up and running. Windows users need have no fears it really is a doddle.
3. More than adequate preinstalled software ( firefox for the web, OpenOffice for word processing and office tasks) it even has some games.
4. Robust build quality - I've had mine for 6 months and despite dropping it a couple of times it hasn't missed a beat.
5. Powerful enough to run 2d CAD programs. Qcad is pre-installed.
6. Lovely screen, small but crisp and bright.
7. Cheap as chips.

Cons:
1. Poor documentation. This is offset by the plethora of information on the web. I don't know why acer are so coy about all the free sofware that can be easily installed with pirut etc.
2. The battery charge life is a little on the short side.

Summary: I'm so happy with mine that I have bought 2 others for gifts.
