What prices is it elsewhere? is this a good deal? i did a quick google but there seem to be loads of models/specs?

PJB

Don't really know the answers.

I got one with same spec save for 160gb hard drive for same price from Asda, saw the offer on MSE!

It was very popular and lots of others wanted so thought i'd post

It's the same price that Asda did them at a few weeks ago as i got one for my son though that was blue:)

I don't like it personally,not the netbook that's fine but having spent years with windows i hate linux:/

DSG (PC World, Dixons, Currys) and Comet have the 1GB RAM, 16GB SSD models (Linux) at £179. Comet have the same spec with Windows XP at £199, and a (white only) 120GB disk instead of the SSD for £170.

I bought Aspire netbook before Xmas and found this site to be a great help regarding XP and memory upgrade..

The A150L (120GB SATA hard drive version) gets a good write up here;

though the battery life isn't great (mostly because of the Linux OS it would seem).

I imagine battery life ought to be pretty important with a netbook - I don't think 2.5hours of light use before it needs recharging is that great. Maybe the SSD versions are better, but 8GB isn't much space IMO.

Rubbish. If that was the case the Aspire One wouldnt be the most popular netbook at the moment. I have one and it is perfectly good for what it is intended - net useage and occasional light office tasks.
