I was between the aspire one and the nc10 for a while. I was orignially leaning towards the aspire because it was almost $100 cheaper. (that was with the 6 cell on either). Even with the 6 cell battery ( a must for me regardless) the nc10 has been reviewed to get better life than the aspire. Also, the keyboard was slightly larger, and the screen was slighly larger. All those together, and the fact that I’d be keeping it several years anyway, the more money was worth it in the end…
Plus, having sold a dell laptop to get this (3 year old 9300 as a matter of fact) it cost me a total of $6.10 🙂
