    Bought my Acer Aspire One 2 weeks ago in Currys (got bored of waiting for Amazon) went for the 8GB SSD/Linpus model, and upgraded to 1.5GB of RAM and Ubuntu following the guides on here. Machine cost £250

    Was in PC World today (same company as Currys) - the price has dropped to £199!!!!

    Get one whilst you can!
