Which One???

Hi

I am new on hear and am looking to get a Acer One, having looked into this alot I am torn between 2 of the models available and would really appreciate some input on this, I will be travelling around a fair amount with the device (storing in in my scooter/ped under the seat).

120gb HDD/1gb Ram
8gb SSD/521mb Ram

I would really like the extra ram and storage for a little bit more but was wondering if SSD would really be better, I had made my mind up BUT they are now coming in at £20 differnce in price due to an offer.

Oh and the 120gb would enable me to partition the HDD and install XP as well as the packaged version of Linux?

Thankyou for reading this and any input you can give me

 

Hi
I would definitely get the 1 gb ram version. I loaded it withj mac OSX and its AMAZING. as for the duel-booting, i havent tried it yet

 

Defo the 1Gb ram version, where are you getting it from as the difference from the ones I've looked at is ~£50.

 

get the xp version with 1GB ram/120GB hdd

 

I would think at this point it would be better to get a 160GB.6-Cell Battery version as all the 120GB versions are being discontinued. For $50 more you get an extra 40Gb and a bigger battery. The battery alone retails for around $120.00. This make this purchase a no brainer for me. I just got confirmation that my order from cdw is shipping tomorrow so It is possible that you might be able to order one of the black ones if they have any left. If not the white ones will be in next week.

 

Yea but the 6 cell isn't out in the uk yet.

 

Thanks for all the replies, does anyone know when the 6 cell will be released in the UK and if so what the RRP will be?

I also take it from your responses the HDD would be fine and not be a weak point sue to the moving parts?

Thanks again

 

Sorry craggsy they have them on play in both colours for £229.99 delivered (but the white is on back order)

But I have since found them on Comet for £224.99 and the 512/8gb SSD version for £179.99 hope this helps
