I love my Acer notebook computer
Dear Scott,
I just bought an Acer computer from Walmart today for $350 and it’s amazing! AMAZING!!! Great for people on the go. It’s light weight, fast, perfect for emailing, web browsing, checking flight attendants schedules, and writing for Gadling. The sales guy said it’s pretty much designed for old people and college students (and flight attendants, I say). The only thing I know of that I can’t do is watch a movie. So what gives? Why is something so amazing so cheap? And should I buy another?

I’m assuming you purchased the Acer Aspire One? These new small machines are the hottest seller in the PC world at the moment. But if you look at them compared to “regular” laptops, they are not that cheap at all. A normal laptop costs about the same, but has a larger screen, DVD drive and more power.They are a great money maker for the PC manufacturers. That said, I am a huge fan of them, and they really have made travel a lot easier. I’m reviewing a similar machine from Lenovo here (Gadling) and will have it posted in a few days. As for the price, $349 is about average. You can find them slightly cheaper through Amazon, so no; I would not go out and get another just yet, the technology is changing very rapidly.
Well it sounds similar to my EEE pc which is tiny! I have two though as I need a bigger one to store all my music and bigger files but I agree, I think this is the way technology is heading!
Acer notebook computers are really best!! I like your chocie!!
