Vaio P for the bling factor.. but in reality the processor, the standard hdd, as well as speakers all suck. Unless you got the top model which is by far a ripoff. But man it looks nice.

S10E has a lower res screen... The battery even though it's 6 cell doesn't last as long. As well the keyoboard is kinda small.. But it makes a great base for an OSX machine.

I just got another Aspire One pink for my wife from Staples with $50 off coupon (redflagdeals).
$280 before tax shipped for 160GB/XP Home/1GB RAM/3 Cell battery. That's cheaper than I got my wife's first EEE 2GB surf.
Ordered it on phone 2pm in the afternoon on Wednesday, it's at my door 9am this morning.

lol. they fixed it + pink one are all sold out. but you can still try calling it in.

Try this from redflagdeal. Call it in instead and tell them you are not buying if you can't use it.

$50 off
with any phone or online order of $200 or more*.

This one might be good to jump on. Same thing, but 8GB SSD instead with Windows XP.
It will be $252 if you can get that $50 to work.

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...affixedcode=WW

or 160GB HD with Blue or Brown or Black for $341 - $50 = $291 if you can get it.

FYI, some ppl got DSi for $149.99 from Staples with this method.

Also, MSI Wind with 9 cells + 3 cells battery is now on sale in NCIX.

2 batteries at $419 is pretty sweet...

Just wanted to chime in. I got an Asus EEE 1000HE when they were on pre-order. It's completely kicked ass!

Battery life is awesome, it's great to be able to kick it at the beach or in the park with my aircard when it's sunny.

^ sorry it didn't work for the one I gave you.

I just put a 64GB SSD in mine and it flies. Booting from BIOS to Windows XP takes only around 15~20 seconds now.

I still have a 128GB RunCore SSD for my HP Mini that I bought in January coming...NEVER BUY FROM RUNCORE. Terrible. I've had three different units already; all defective.

Lol. that sux. But then again you really don't have much options in terms of 1.8" SSD ZIF drives.

Yeah, and I thought I'd go on an adventure and take a chance on it rather than outright returning it.

Smart cookie I am.

thank you for your SSD.

But I don't find it last any longer on battery compare to my original HD. Maybe I need MLC SSD for that?
It's much cooler too. It used to get a little hotter on the Aspire one, but now I can't fell anything and the CPU fan hardly come up now.

128gb SSD on a nettop isn't that overkill?

people stick 500GB HDD into their netbooks so i dont see how 128GB SSD is overkill.

Surely the only laptop that comes with 128GB SSD is only a $3k Macbook Air...
