acer aspire one > eecpc. feels more durable, and screen is 1024 x 600, unlike the eecpc's weird screen resolution.

im using it right now. the original batt life is like 2 1/2 hours, but i bought a 6 cell, and it now lasts me about 7 hours running light programs, or 5 hours running AutoCAD 2008.


EDIT: only grippe i have about it is that the HDD is a 160 GB model that 1.8" like the ipod video, so untill they release a bigger 1.8", im stuck at 160.
