"Cooler than a polar bear in a refrigerator"
What I like:
Price, size, colour (I got the blue one!)
What I don't like:
The Linpus (Linux) OS
Review:
The preinstalled Linpus OS is great if you just want web/mail access. If you want more of a 'mini-laptop' then it is a bit restrictive. I tried delving beyond the GUI after less than a week but managed to stuff-up the OS (I am new to LINUX!). Have now installed KUBUNTU 9.04 and various other bits of software. This little machine is now the dog's danglies!

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
