I had such a great experience with an Acer Aspire One netbook that I though I would upgrade to a slimmer netbook. But after bringing it home last night I found out that there are issues with it going to a black screen when poweing on OR hibernating... There are some clunky workarounds that work for some but it's not a good choice for Windows 7 beta or RC yet. If you're planning on a netbook for Windows 7 this isn't it yet. Hope they update the bios at some point. ...Just so hard to run XP after using Windows 7 for a while... That being said it's a nicely built unit and feels solidly constructed with an excellent keyboard. Just picked one up and found out that IT DOESN”T RUN Windows 7 due to Video issues.
