I’m deciding whether to get the Acer Aspire One (white) and the Dell Mini (also white) because I got some money for Christmas. Still, the cheaper the better. Tell me which one is better and where to get it. PLEASE HELP!

    Haven’t heard a bad thing about either, which is shocking for an Acer. the MSI Wind is actually OK, too, despite MSI also having a reputation as a dodgy laptop maker! Odd. Anyway, buy based upon price/desired specifications. I think the Aspire One is cheaper, and you can buy it at places like Wal-mart, but the Mini probably needsto be ordered. Maybe that settles it? Also, consider taking linux if you buy the Dell, as it comes with Ubuntu, which should offer a pretty good experience without the hassles of installng drivers or downloading malware.

    I think you might want to wait on MINIBOOKs bec heard they are still working out some 1st generation performance bug issues. If you still want to proceed then why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.

    FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn’t afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery = costly bec not readily available like Dells… and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.

    Hope the Above Info Helps!
