Acer Aspire One

We've been on the look out for a new laptop for a while, the old one being a chronically slow Thinkpad 366 Celeron. I've had my eye on an Eee pc (unsurprisingly) but we did a bit of poking around and finally settled on a Acer Aspire One. We picked it up from Curry's today, and I'm using it to write this blog now. The set up was a doddle, turn it on, enter a password, configure the wireless, select the live update option and let it run. There are a couple of broken dependencies when I've selected some other programs, but I'll take a look at those later as it pretty much does everything we need straight out of the box.
