Geeks.com, known for their cheap laptops, sent us the Acer Aspire One for a review. Thom wrote a review of the popular laptop recently, but here's my take on it. Update: After this review went up, and within two hours, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 (time is 4:10 AM here, couldn't sleep until I had Ubuntu in there). Using this very nice tutorial, I have everything up and running.

Acer's service is pretty good. Finally put it to the test when my Aspire 5570 wouldn't power up. Got one year extra of warranty coverage for free so I didn't have to pay anything to have the HDD replaced (SMART failure warning) and the mainboard and USB DC board fixed. While I was at the service center I noticed they had a promo for the Aspire One's extended warranty.
All of the Acers I have had Linpus pre-installed, but I never used it, installing Windows and Ubuntu instead.
