Current mood:  excited

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 .

p.s. Check it out for yourself: Acer Mini  (AcerMini dot com).

This is going to be THE hottest Christmas gift of the year! ;-)

Hi Lynn,

I will be interested in reading your review. I picked up a blue one at, of all places, Walmart about 3 weeks ago. Took it on my trip to Marco Island, Florida for a conference. Tucked away easily and could do everything I needed. Only drawback was adjusting to the smaller screen.

Hey Doc, I was impressed with the quality of the screen for its size, but had to get used to the smaller keyboard. It just took a day or so of use for me to get the feel for it.
Definitely worth it for the mobility!

It's totally funny how you get so in love with gadgets like I do....and this might just not have been what I was expecting - quite the misleading headline there, missy! ;)

Lynn,

I have to say that I was hoping you didn't like it but at last....you are in love with it. Go figure! I have definitely put this little Acer on my wish list for the holidays. I am hoping someone loves me enough to buy it for me. If not, I am all over it the day after Christmas!

My goodness, you made me quite nervous with this post my dear.

Especially after our talk in Vegas.

I'm happy to see it's something I already knew of ;-)
