Vista is miles better than XP after SP1...

[BerTo]

[saunders120+]

i dont know whats best to go for? my cutom pc is quite good for what it is its running 2.09ghz and 1.50 gb OF RAM AND AN amd ATHLON 3000+ so somethig equivalent in laptop form? as i aint to sure on the whole duel core stuff and all that

 

[BerTo]

what are you looking to do on it.. and very hard pressed to not find a dual core now, and they are worth it

 

[The-Monk]

The Aspire One uses an Intel Atom processor. Clocked at 1.6Ghz its not Dual Core but is hyperthreading. Uses sod all battery power though meaning you get more life. Plus the One is ultra small and portable. I got one and its great.

would never touch an Acer again tbh, no matter how tempting the spec or price. Had one 2 years ago that cost me £500+. The right hinge on the top snapped twice, including the screen ribbon or w.e snapping so it didnt work. And one time the lid actually coming off at one side. Rubbish, i took care of it but it kept breaking, they wouldnt fix it after the second time, and the screen went,first producing lines all over the screen then all of it went so i cant see anything. So in my drawer it sits, it made more sense to buy a new laptop than pay the £200 they wanted to fix it.

Currently using this one http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/501441/FUJITSU-SIEMENS-AMILO-LI-2735/tab/specification#spec

Aye it's not a main machine, but for notes on the go etc. Quality. Would get the Dell Mini over the Acer Aspire.
In the states you cn buy the Dell with a cut down Ubuntu install...yes please.

My winter project is Ubuntu and Kubuntu, learning them inside out.

 

[BerTo]

like ubuntu, no need to learn kubuntu, dont use servers soo..

Tis a nice little bit of software, specially as seen as you can load it from a CD and dont have to install it

ah well you see I have one of the new Dell T75 or T100 servers I got free a couple of months back.
Dell were pushing Virtualisation, Server 2k8 and their partnerships with Suse Linux and AMD so we all got nice freebies.
Throw a 64bit Ubuntu on it and their my project
