Be warned, I purchased this netbook with Linpus this monday and is absolutely impossible to load ANY operation system into his HDD. I tried 3 distributions of Linux (Suse, Ubuntu, Red Hat), all 3 crashes after starting to loading. When trying WIN XP Pro to load, it finishes with Blue Death Screen after loading basic drivers.
It looks like serious manufacturing failure. Sorry, no ACER anymore.
