Is anybody actually buying these things? Maybe I don't get out enough, but I've yet to see any model of netbook in the wild.

The Acer Aspire One is selling well in the UK with the Asus EEE not far behind as they're being stocked by the big electrical and computer chains, with the basic 8Gb flash Aspire One being sold at £179. They're nice machines for portable surfing. My sister has taken hers on holiday to the US today so it hopefully won't confuse the TSA gibbons too much.

@#1, Knifie Sp00nie: I've picked up 3 in the past 3 months, and I hadn't bought a whole new computer for close to 3 years. The keyboard's slightly cramped, and the screen resolution is a bit lower than I'd like, but apart from that, it's up-side all the way:
i)XP, not Vista
ii)much, much lighter than a regular laptop
iii)they're cheap enough that I'm not constantly worrying about whether I've left them within reach of toddlers, thieves or sharp objects lurking in the bottom of my backpack.
