It's one of those pseudo-computers. Win CE, 4GB memory, very limited use. But one of you geniuses here just has to have the right app for this thing, right?

    If you're looking for something along these lines, I'd suggest also looking at the refurb'd Asus EEEs on www.mwave.com .

    You can get a 7" display w/ 8G SSD running XP Home for under $120. I haven't purchased from them, but it looks like a good deal.

    Put a propeller (or two) in there instead of an ARM processor and you'd have product that I might consider trading a kidney for!

    Good links as aways erco!

    A lovely machine. Mine served me well for 3 years and 4Gbytes is all I ever needed inside. But the power supply was the first thing to go and now it doesn't quite know whether to stay on or off.

    I suspect bad capacitors due to aging and wear. Do you really want to buy something that might have the same problem in a few months or a year? Nothing lasts forever and the day of the EEEpc is coming to an end. There are lots of $300 netbooks to choose from.

    . I had a Acer one book . the bezel was such a tight fit the LCD cracked ! in ONE DAY .


    the gateway one uses also the same layout as the aspire One book

    IMHO just avoid that desgine ..
