Aspire One - White

Yep, finally decided to get the Aspire One ;)

Got some more hands on with both the alternatives and it was actually the keyboard that settled the issue. I can actually write without any problems on the Aspire while the EEE 900 kept making me slip the “A” in “DANIEL” and that’s just not working for me ;)

I also got an encouraging comment from the guy running security4all that was in favor of the Aspire.

The model I got was the white 8GB SSD with Linpus Linux on it, but i’m probably going to change the distribution as soon as I get my hand on it. Seems to be some problems with certain core functions though but it should not take too long before that’s solved as well. Might just change the Linpus mode to “Desktop mode” also.

I also got an additional 1GB SODIMM memory module, so now I have this too look forward to:

Hahaha ;) Talk about “user-friendly” ;)

EEE PC 900 - Daniel Nyström 2008 CC ATTRIB. SHARE-ALIKE 2.5 SE

… and it did not make me any wiser.

The EEE feels lighter, but the Aspire One that i looked at had the handicap of being HDD based, and not SSD.

The Aspire also felt more together but the weight might be throwing me here. It’s also nicer to look at with that shiny and nice surface ;)

One thing that speaks for the 901 might be that it’ll probably have a larger userbase (the 900 one is pretty large already) and support for 3G (HSDPA) modems etc. will be more tested and tweaked by the community.

Never had these problems deciding before… what’s wrong with me ;)

Aspire One - Daniel Nyström - CC Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 SE

My co-worker just got his Acer Aspire One and it’s just delicious ;)

Unfortunately he choose the WinXP one, as I would really have liked to have a lookie-feelie at the Linpus Linux interface.

Thirsting for one of these but at the same time wondering if I should just wait for the EEE 901 that’s going to start shipping in Sweden soon… But the Aspire is more beautiful.. power or appearance ? arghhh….

Decisions, decisions.. going insane trying to decide ;) Anyone got any ideas or recommendations?
