As some of you may have noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with my Aspire One netbook, and actually, with netbooks in general. They are great little devices, more powerful than you'd give them credit for upon first encounter. And, but that might just be me, netbooks are what laptops should have been from day one: truly portable. El Reg has put together a buyer's guide for today's netbooks, and while the guide is generally spot-on with its assessments, it does present some odd choices here and there. Read on for some of my own thoughts grown out of experience.

I brought a 701 with me to a trade show in May. They keyboard is cheap, it does suck and it is annoying, especially the unbalanced space bar and the really bad placement of the shift/up arrow keys.
After test driving the Acer Aspire One which is very cost competitive to me there really is no comparison between the two. I had to do zero adjustment to touch type the Aspire One and they keyboard feels quality.
If I ever had disposable income I'd go with the aspire. I really really would like one with a dual core atom and a non stupid north bridge. Hopefully those show up cheap in the next round of netbooks.
