Acer Aspire Netbook is a great workhorse!

I really love my Acer Aspire Netbook! I should start out by saying, I’m a technology gadget kinda guy, so I have a lot of gadgets. 2x Tablet PC’s, 1x UMPC, about a dozen Windows Mobile phones, oh and an iPhone.

When I’m aware from my desk or my normal Tablet PC workhorse (HP 2710P), I either have my iPhone with me, or for extended times away I usually carry my Acer Aspire Netbook. Although the Netbook genre have much slower processors, almost single tasking as opposed to multi tasking, it’s a great small netbook to be able to take with you at a moments notice. Quickly crack it open to access the web, check your email or even post blog updates! I really couldn’t be without my 8.9″ netbook! :)

As a power user, I couldn’t use it all day for a number of reasons.

  1. The keyboard on an 8.9″ Netbook is just too small.  It’s fine for casual typing but after several hours use you’ll probably get cramp in your hands and fingers.
  2. The screen isn’t large enough to use for long periods of time
  3. The processing power is sluggish

That all might sound pretty negative, but what you have to understand is that netbooks are designed this way.  The pro’s are:-

  1. They have better battery life
  2. They’re small
  3. They’re lightweight
  4. Easy to carry around
  5. Great for meetings and mobile use!
