I am wondering about this exact same comparison...advice or thoughts anyone?

Well, my brother is getting an Acer and I'm getting an Asus. Plus, he's got an HP mini already, so hopefully we'll be able to have a comparo of the three posted by end of month. I went to a local store to see them and the Acer's keyboard felt too tiny for my taste. There were no Asus, but HP's keyboards were beautiful and felt great. I believe it's the form of the keys themselves (flat squares in the HP) that make the keyboard feel larger. But based on keyboard alone, I opted out of the Acer and ordered the Asus, which has a slightly lager keyboard and seems to have flat keys on the keyboard.

That looks to be correct. I checked the acer site and found that while the computer comes with 32gb ram standard. It has a max of 16gb. Check the acer site for this computer to confirm.

at first, you'll love the Acer Aspire One due to size and portability; however, did not like the RAM; I changed the card to upgrade, and destroyed the unit; even using Amazon's recommendation to do such upgrade. Now I own the Samsung np300 with 11" screen.

A cursory look at the specs looks the same to me, but to be honest I have not looked that closely at the 6411. They seem to have the same size hard drive, same amount of RAM, same size/weight/resolution. I'm not sure about the processor. They are both i5s though, so at the very least, they are out comparable speed and energy consumption.

The Lenovo S10, ASUS EEE PC 1000HE, Acer Aspire One AOD150, and MSI Wind U100 were all reviewed and compared together very recently at: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/consumer/orl-biztmhorowitz04040409,0,1842147.column

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

There are many Acer Aspire One models, and they all vary in their hardware specifications and preinstalled operating system.The specific model of AO722-0473 comes with 2GB of RAM. You can easily upgrade to 4GB by removing the existing 2GB SODIMM and replacing it with a 4GB SODIMM.

The screen of the Aspire One Acer looks great with its glossy look- until you turn it one. Looking at the screen is like looking at a mirror, and unless you are working in a darkened room, it is very distracting; therefore I prefer the matte screen, such as Asus or Samsung. Even my 4 year old 15" Dell laptop has a matte screen. It may not matter to others, but to me, it is an important feature. Check out each laptop at a store before buying it.

All you can do is try it, the Acer website also lists the AO725 as having max 4GB, but I'm running these 8GB SODIMM' in both of mine. And even the memory finder sites like crucial won't list it as a possibility for my AO725 either. A quick search on google shows that others are running this in your laptop, but I don't have any personal experience with that model.

The keyboard is important because it's not like thumb-typing on a phone, because it's too big for that, but it is too small for comfortable regular typing like on a bigger laptop or desktop computer. It depends on the size of your hands. A lot of people find themselves having to hunt-and-peck on the netbook keyboards. You really should see one in real life if possible at a store (Best Buy or Target usually has some eee model on display) and try typing on it. The different models also have keyboards that feel very different when it comes to ease of regular typing. I think the Acer Aspire One has a better keyboard than the Asus eee 8.9 inch models, though the layout of the buttons for the touchpad is annoying on the Aspire One. Circuit City used to have the Aspire One in stock, which is how I got to look at one and tried it before buying. If you can live with the keyboard, netbooks are great because they are so portable, being about the size of a hardback book. Understand they can't do everything a full-size laptop can do since their Atom processors are less powerful than the processors than go into full-size computers, but for typing up papers, notes, internet browsing/email where there's wifi, it works well. If you wait a bit, next year there might be models that can connect to cell companies' networks, though I guess those will cost more over the long run since I think you would have to pay for a data plan.

Haven't checked. But the touchpad stopped working in less than a month. Don't buy Acer if i had to do it again.

The XE700T1A-A06US has a 1.6 GHz Intel i5 hyper threaded dual-core processor (kind of simulates a quad core processor by using 2 virtual cores, but it isn't four actual cores), 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 11.6" display, Windows 7 Professional, and an 8 MP camera. The XE700T1A-A04US has the same 1.6 GHz Intel i5 processor, 4 GB DDR2 RAM (slower than DDR3), a 10.1" display, Windows 7 Home Premium, and a 3 MP camera. The XE700T1A-A06US is a much better tablet for not much more money.

In searching the ACER site, adding RAM is not supported. Hence, voiding warrantee if I opened the case. Agree with the others that 1 or 2 Gb is not a big difference. I only encountered sluggishness if doing a lot of surfing. E-mail, no problem. Games, no problem. So I just use this unit for on the road e-mail and light shopping. Heavy shopping will encounter some slow down. I purchased Norton 360 and periodically clean out the temporary files and cookies, etc. That did a lot to improve speed.

If they do not release it soon I might just get the "Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 14-Inch Aluminum Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)" Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810TZ-4508 14-Inch Aluminum Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)It is more expensive and a slower processor, but a bigger screen, more RAM, and a DVD writing drive.

Loooks like Asus is coming back to earth.With competitin fro Acer Aspire one they first tried $50.00 rebate on 901 which probably did not work now they dropped price by $100 on 900 and 1000 series and $50 on 16 G linux 900.They had priced these things unreasonably high.But still Acer aspire one 160 gb XP is still a better deal.

I am nor sure I can answer your question. I bought this laptop because I have owned two other Acer laptops that were good computers.

not quite sure what you mean. To me the Acer Aspire has a normal keyboard. It actually is very easy to use and I love the lighted feature. It is a lot better than my old Toshiba keyboard. I can use a very light touch.
