"Most important, the laptop comes in blue, pink, white and brown, ensuring that buyers can find an Aspire One to match their luggage or living room décor."

Yeesh.


None of those colors really match my luggage or living room decor well. :P


I'm waiting for people to sort out the little quirks of getting Ubuntu on it, at which point I will likely cough up for one. This Linpus thing that comes on it looks awful, but the device itself is rather appealing.


the MSI wind has gotten good reviews, tho i haven't found one in person. 10", XP, $500, only in white, black or pink

It uses Linux and XP Home? I'm confused.


expensive.
