I am curious to see it goes. I like my AspireOne but I still lug my Thinkpad around for work. It does go to class with me. My boss will bring back the Lenovo or Dell mini next week.

With the updated trackpad drivers, you can now use two finger control (a la iphone). So far, I like the form factor of AspireOne and the aesthetics. We have two of them now at my place. I have the brown 120GB mechanical hard drive, my partner has the white 8GB SSD. I recommend the bigger drives over the SSD, I don't see any difference in speed.

I’ve read some good things about the lenovo…

The battery indicator says 5 hours but when I use it, I get roughly 3 and a half hours before needing to charge it up. I am thinking about dumping Ubuntu eee and install Ubuntu 8.10 instead. There is support for it now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne @Urko: Not bad at all.
