Default My new Netbook

So, I'm typing on my new Acer 1410-2810. I sold the Dell Inspiron 1525. I wanted something more portable since I'm going to be updating my desktop and using it at home. I was using the Dell as a desktop replacement. I went with the 1410 because although it's sub-12", it has many laptop features. the resolution is 1366 x 768, so can watch 720p TV shows. It has a 160GB HDD, but I'll be swapping that out for a fast (200+ read/write) 64GB SSD. It has 2GB of RAM, but some people are experimenting with up to 4GB, so I'll see if that's a viable option soon. Also, it has a dual-core Celeron SU2300 instead of an Atom processor. One more bonus... Windows 7 Home Premium, instead of Starter.

It's also pretty, 'cause it's blue. cool.gif

I got a new netbook, free one with comcrap. Its a dell mini 10v.

I call it the Mac Air Nano, or MAN for short.
I have installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard and I have to say it works better than Windows. I will put up some screen shots in a few.
