I did a study of the "Acer Aspire One" a couple of months ago although it didn't quite make it into a column yet. It is about 10 inches by seven inches by one inch thick, the size of a hardcover novel, but it’s full-function, with a real keyboard and a high-resolution display. The one I was testing was bought at Best Buy for only $400. The person who owns it is just down the hall and she's telling me it is just great. I am a little hesitant about making product reviews because to be complete and fair I should look at competing products. However given that I don't get paid for any of this I only dabble here and there. There may be others that are as good as the Acer but I know that one is good. Actually I do!

I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for a mini laptop? I've started doing cruise ship presentations (great way to travel on the cheap :) and would like something more portable for the travel than my Toshiba which is bulky for what I need it for. The laptop just needs to run PowerPoint on Windows. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and keep up the great columns. Laurel Nickerson Hello Pat
