I wanted to interrupt him and prove him wrong right then and there, but it would've been rude to say, "YOU'VE NEVER USED VISTA on a 1GB RAM machine, have ya?!"

I would have interrupted him. :bottom:

Well, I would've done it, had I had a presence, uh, as INTIMIDATING as yours, GH.

I got a Acer AspireOne 11.6" AO751h-1948

Specs:
OS: Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition
Processor: Intel® Atom™ Processor Z520 (512KB L2 cache, 1.33GHz, 533MHz FSB)
Memory: 1GB DDR2 667 SDRAM
HD: 160GB hard drive
Storage accessory: multi-in-one card reader
Display: 11.6" WXGA (1366 x 768) TFT display, Acer® CrystalBrite Technology
Graphics: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500
Connectivity: 802.11b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, Webcam
Color: diamond black chassis
Battery: three-cell battery

I got it for US$469 last June at Costco when I was in the US.

The device overall performs as intended and battery gets me to around 3-4hrs, depending on usage. Ok naman sya pero I was wondering if there is an available 6-cell battery for this model here sa Pinas.

Also, I noticed that this model came out here with only Vista pre-installed. There was this stupid salesperson at VMall in Greenhills telling me that WinXP is obsolete and that it's no longer being sold? Duh? Nakabili nga ako eh! Bwiset!

Anyways, what do you guys think? GH?

russ, baka pasok sa windows 7 upgrade program yung unit mo.

Purchase a qualifying version* of a Windows Vista retail packaged product from your favorite retailer between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010.

Free upgrade from vista to 7.

my wife is also eyeing this model. we saw one yesterday with upgraded specs - 2gb Ram, 250gb HD, 6 cell battery (8 hrs daw), Vista Home Basic * 27.5k for 12mos/0%.. but she wants it in pink and unfortunately, black lang ang available stock so we'll have to wait for a week pa..

hopefully, she'll change her mind before the unit arrives and get the lenovo s10-2 instead at a cheaper price..

you may have overlooked but XP Home ang OS nya.. ang may free upgrade lang daw sa vista ay home premium, professional at ultimate..

I was at Costco just last week, mga $350 yata. Tamang tama ang laki niya 11.6" para kasi akong masyadong naliliitan sa 10". Kaso 3 cell lang ang battery but with 250GB Hard drive. Maybe I'm going to end up buying the ASUS 1005HA-VU1X for $305 online, free shipping & no tax.
