Well its time for this little guy to get returned. Not due to any issues or bugs but rather whats actually coming at the beginning of next year. This machine does pretty much everything I want to use it for but there are significant improvements coming next year and I would like to hold off till then. There has been word of a dual core atom processor and several new models.

From my experience with this machine I have set my requirements for my next purchase.

1. At least 1024x768 (1024x600 Some program windows are slightly larger than the screen. This mostly is an inconvenience however there are a small handful of programs which will not install & some where buttons are place so low you can't click them.

2. Upgradable to at least 2GB of memory

3. 2.5" hard drive (This acer uses it and really doesn't make it that much larger)

Optional:
4. Mini PCI Express Card
5. Firewire
6. Tablet convertible
7. Dual core atom processor (Though the atom 1.6Ghz works fine for what Id use it for.
