Acer Aspire One Mini Laptop

I recently purchased a mini laptop called the Acer Aspire One. This laptop is absolutely amazing! First off it is about the size a small daily planner or about the size of my hand with my fingers spread open. Typing on the keyboard is no problem. The keyboard is about 95% of the size of a normal keyboard. It is great alternative to having a PDA because it is a fully functioning laptop computer. It is also nice alternative to lugging around a normal laptop that can weigh 6lbs to 9lbs. I loaded Microsoft Office 2007 and Skype. I am using it while watching TV, going to client sites and video conferencing. This price I paid for this system was $349.99 US at Best Buy. The only downside to this product is that you need to purchase a external USB CD/DVD drive separately. Since I use USB memory sticks and mapped network drives for file transfer I have not really do not see a need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive. I highly recommend purchasing this product for yourself.
