I got something new last week: an Acer Mini
If that link doesnt work you can go to AcerMini (dot com)
It is a miniature laptop, but its more like an oversized blackberry. Honestly, I figured it would run like a toy - especially considering the price (!).
My mini and I have been *completely inseparable* since the day I unboxed it.
There are a lot of Mini Laptops out now, but you want to watch the specs. The Acer Mini is the cheapest for the features it has. It includes a built-in web cam with mic & speakers, Windows XP, expanded memory slots, an all in one card reader, usb ports, etc. It is SWEET!
It weighs about 2 pounds, fits in my purse - and for you guys, the guy that demo'd it for me had one in the pocket of his cargo pants. The battery life is 4 hours too - you simply cant get those features with any more mobility than that.
I have been using it for mobile lifestreaming and video conferencing. You can basically broadcast video or surf the web ANYwhere there is wifi (home, hotels, airports, many restaurants now, etc).
I'll publish a full review, with videos & photos, soon - but just had to tell you about this one right away. I got it to review last week and I am totally in love with it .
