Cons:
Linux boot? your kidding right? it's freeDos not Linux it's USELESS as soon as the box comes get your favorite distro out and get it going... (it run's XP very well to). Ralink wireless drivers and Linux are a challenge I got it working but it was so unstable that is next to useless ended up giving up and using a old usb one. on Acers website they only have drivers for Atheros wireless for windows XP/7 not for this card you need to get them from Ralink.
Pros: cheap Ion basedquiet in operation |

Cons:
- Falsely advertised -> no Linux boot- Doesn't work out of the box with Linux
Pros: + Tiny+ Cheap Comment:
First of all if you expect to get a Linux boot, you're in for a surprise - no such thing! Mine came (like some other people's too) with FreeDOS. No biggie but it would be nice of them to mention that.Installed Ubuntu (10.4) and needed a lot of setting up! Bluetooth was difficult to get to work properly and so was the wi-fi. Unless you're putting Windows on it, be prepared to spend some time on that baby. And if you are putting Windows on it, be prepared to spend some more cash on memory. |

Cons:
Comes with FreeDOSNo manuals included
Pros: InexpensiveLow Power ConsumptionSmall sizePlays HD video via HDMIComes with wireless mouse and KeyboardDrivers are easy to find Comment:
Bought one of these to use as an HTPC and to stream media to from my home server. When I opened it up I noticed that it came with FreeDOS OS which isn't very useful. They could have easily put Ubuntu or some other linix OS on this that would have been far more useful to have. Fortunately, it is quite easy to install things on this. |

Cons: expensive
Pros: Big s[pace,fast, quick, Comment:
Good hard drive size, it is a fast piece of hardware. Now there are a lot of things that I can say but I don't want to tak to much of your time, so ook at the specs. |
Well I'm happy, all the 'issues' are minor. but they could easily be avoided. the falsely advertised 'linux' boot. and the driver issues. (why can't Acers website have linux drivers?). it runs XP really well and it's a great machine.
