This undoubtedly saved countless poor consumers from endless trouble - and possibly saved lives. Microsoft and Intel both declared screen-size limited to a maximum of 10.1 inches. These system specifications, devised and enforced solely for the well-being of the poor, ignorant consumers of course ) laid out restrictions on the cpu, RAM, memory, and (the item that most ordinary consumers were most concerned about) screen size. Failure to 'play ball' and conform to these criteria meant the OEMs would be deprived of prompt, reliable access to CPUs or Windows at reasonable (ie. So Microsoft and Intel enacted a bunch of arbitrary specifications - arbitrary, from a user's point of view at least :P. The public was clamoring for larger screens, but both Microsoft and Intel were diligently trying to quash the netbook market (Microsoft because netbooks were demonstrating how well Linux worked, on cheap and convenient netbooks that struggled under Windows Intel because they wanted to sell powerful, expensive, power-guzzling CPUs that were being displaced by the cheaper Atoms). Anyone know why the nine inch models all disappeared replaced by models with 10.1 inch screens? Re: Yes, my Acer Aspire One is running Mint nicely. Cheap iPad knockoffs, avoid, even if they are cheaper than cheap (i.e. So - netbooks good, but for a nicer experience stick with better known brands. Add strangely reluctant network socket, weak wireless and battery - plus the weird phone-based version of Android - and the thing is rapidly gathering dust. Without that the screen is as responsive as a sloth with a hangover and, even with, is inaccurate enough to make text a pain. First clue to its lack of utility was the inclusion of a stylus. Next the no-name Android (model name AC1 or something similar) 10 inch tablet which turned up a couple of years later.

Apart from a horrible keyboard and exhausted battery, has proved a usefully portable tool when visiting friends to fix their systems.

This failed to work using the screwed-up Ubuntu installation on board (confirming my then prejudice against Linux) but booted from an external CD drive to install XP. Starting with the Elonex netbook, originally given away by Orange to tempt users to eat expensive mobile data via a dongle. Having found both types of device in the rubbish, intrigued by author's comparison. If it does be happy but remember some of us need access to stuff not easily accessible via a Linux Distro - different strokes and all that.

I've read several in depth analyses of Windows 10 that compressively debunk that myth - sorry if the facts don't fit your anti-MS stance. '2) Win 10 costs money to replace XP and offers just spyware'Д¬an you actually back that claim up re Spyware.

I never tried the last of the line dual core models but I can't see any reason why they wouldn't have run Windows 7 quite well.

I even ran a full version of Visual Studio on it for occasional late night coding in hotel rooms. The later ones like the Samsung NC10 I had with a single core Atom, 2GB RAM and 160Gb HDD ran XP just fine. The early ones with 7' screens and minute SSDs were horrible and weren't even up to running XP and should have been restricted to Linux. '1) Such devices ran XP badly, they originally had Linux'Д«it of an over simplification that. I think acer do 'iconias' now but im not sure how they are weight distributed.

I always found full size laptops with 'hotkey rotation' to fall over more on trains like this. sure it looks weird (with the keyboard STILL docked) but it means you can work in a document/page portrait mode on the train. Having a gyroscope means you can tilt the screen sideways and providing you have a Bluetooth mouse you can plug a keyboard in to use it. presentation preparation, word stuff, notepad++ work etc) There was a dell tablet that was a rival to the surface pros that also undocked with additional batteries but was also twice the price. CPU is just find for general use (and light image work i.e. Sure when you 'undock' it loses the additional hard drive (and USB) but I bought it because at the time the 'small screen' laptops were gutless and had no storage - this one had the option to undock (which I didn't need) but also had 500gb of storage AND two batteries. The acer one I have has a battery and additional hard drive in the keyboard so it has enough weight to tilt the screen without falling over.
