    The day after Thanksgiving there look to be some good deals on these netbooks, but I can't decide which to get. Will some of you with real life experience with them give me your thoughts? Here's what I'm looking at:

    Acer Aspire One AOD250 - 10.1" - Around $220, lighter, smaller, faster processor
    Acer Aspire One A751h - 11.6" - Around $250, full-sized keyboard, better video, slower processor

    All specs are about the same for the price. I plan on installing Win 7, 2 GB RAM, upgrading the battery to 6-cell, etc.

    Thoughts?

    What do you plan on doing with your netbook of choice? This will determine which you should buy...

    Well, I plan to take it with me everywhere. I have a PDA and I'd like to replace that, so the lighter one seems a better option.
    But I also write a LOT, so the bigger keyboard and screen seem a better option.
    I enjoy watching movies on the road a couple times a year, so the bigger one seems better for that.
    I usually tax my technology, so the smaller one seems better for that.

    So, in other, words, I can't make a decision and was hoping some people who have experience with both could chime in! :p

    I ended up opting for a good ol' Asus Eee PC 1000HE. I know it has the smaller screen, but the battery life is killer. I got one one ebay for the price of these Thanksgiving day deals and am very happy with it. The thing seems like it NEVER needs recharging! :p

    Having used both, I would say that if you want to type a lot on your netbook and really don't want a speed daemon, I would go with the 751h. Also, since it is equipped with GMA 500, youtube playback is awesome.

    Same cannot be said about the D250, which has GMA 950. However, in terms of raw performance, the Atom N280 processor blows the 751h out of water. The keyboard is a bit cramped compared to the Acer Aspire 751h
