I like how it has Windows XP Home installed
A neat little package, I say thumbs up

Oh I'd like to join the contest ;)

That will look splendid on my desk,
I would like to join as well.

I'm in, good to see that the contest isn't limited to the US.

How about you just send it to me in Oz now, why bother with the competition?

I'm In! been after a netbook for ages but with the resession and all that I haven't been able to splash out on one,

to Skitzo: I wonder how much it would cost to send to Oz?

Mmm, this qould be handy for taking into uni, some of my lectures are far too boring!

to Skitzo: I wonder how much it would cost to send to Oz?
Well if its too much money for TechSpot to post it, maybe they could give me a free flight to US to pick it up in person
I'm easy either way ;)

I have one of these that I love!

I just installed W7 on it. It is as fast or faster even that it was with XP.

Windows 7 works on it! what version did you install?

You have the right idea there Kimsland. Although I must be back in Oz from picking it up pretty soon. I am going away shortly after this contest is drawn. Would be nice to have a a netbook to take with me :p

Edit: Might want to change this sentence "If a participant posts nonsense comments recurrently we will automatically remove him from the giveaway without any notification.", change the "him" to "him/her" as to not appear sexist :p

yup always in for a freebie! :P
as a matter of fact i can recall the first time i discovered techspot many years ago was because of a similar giveaway

I put Home Premium 32bit on it.

Works like a charm but you have to turn the Aero off. I ran the upgrade advisor and it told me that it wouldn't even support Aero but it did; the system was very sluggish with Aero on so I turned it off.

This would serve as an awesome replacement for my dated laptop which typically gets less than an hour of battery life.

I would like to join the contest please :-)

I know exactly what you mean. I have a Dell Insperion 1100 that I bought cheap from my work. It won't even work when it's unplugged. My 4 year old desktop PC just died (fried mobo) so I'm sort of stuck with the Insperion...at least I can still surf the web.

I would also like to enter the contest. Thanks!

I'd like to join the contest, please!

My daughter has been asking fora laptop for quite a whle ... this would make a great Christmas present!

Never been lucky for that sort of thing, but won't hurt to try. :)

Count me in! Thanks!

I would love to join this contest.

Never owned a laptop but it would be so handy to have one so that i can surf the web when i am out and about.

Thanks!

ill join it! could do with it for college! :D

Hey I'm game. I hope there are a lot of good news bits this week!
Let the comments begin :)
(btw, does this comment count? ;)

Just last week I went to the market, choose a laptop and then walked out, cause suddenly it struck me that Holiday Season is coming and many sites will be giving these little things in giveaways, so why spent money now, when I can have it later for free, also if I don't then I will still be able to get some great deals during this holiday season....

Great idea on getting the post count up!

I've been lurking for a little while now, enjoying the great site layout, and this finally got me to make an account.

Sounds like a nice little contest, you can count me in :3

I think that this 11.6" is a good size for a netbook. I saw the 10" model and also the 8.9" model. For me, their screens are too small. I think this is much better. 13.3" would have been too much. This way you also keep it very light.
I also understand that this processor is much faster.
My job requires me to have access to a computer and internet. So, this would be perfect for me. But I doubt I will win it, I am not the person to win when it involves lottery.
Anyway, I would recommend this to anyone on a tight budget who wants also some speed from it.

Acer has been becoming one of the major players in the PC market. I've owned their monitors and I would have to say the quality is great. I would love to win one of these!

i would like to join too

would make things easy for me

I've been checking TechSpot every day for the past two years, but until now I didn't feel the need to sign up.

I'll join this contest.
Heck, maybe i'll be more active in the comment area even after it's finished. :)

P.S. Thanks for allowing people outside US to participate. Most of the tech news websites limit their contests/promotions to US and/or Canada only.

I certainly won't mind winning this baby. Personally, I think the smaller the better, but I do care about resolution. That is, I'd be happier with the same spec in 9". I find the UMID M1 really tempting. Hopefully they'll come out with a 1GB RAM version.

Holy crap that netbook has a resolution worth existence! Count me in on the contest!

Sign me up, por favor! Great way to get comments....I'll just be my usual verbose self. ;)

I also wish to joing the contest. I posted again because I thought it wasn't clear from my first post that I wish to participate.

I need one for college! count me in!

count me in

I want to join the contest.

Thank you

*Working as a freelance computer technician for the past 15 years, I have learned to travel lite. I NEED to win the Acer Aspire One netbook.

Hey, I'll throw my hat into the ring... Wouldn't mind winning a nice little netbook that I can let the wife use so I can get custody of my laptop back! :)

Greetings,
First, i would love to join the contest.
i'm currently studing for my A+ Cert and a netbook would be helpful to me for keeping up with Techspot news and studying away from home.

good luck to all that enter.

It would be nice to pride myself with this cuttie.

I've been reading teachspot everyday for several months now and never fealth the need to comment since pretty much nobody else comments on the news, the discussion is none-existant, hopefully this giveaway will promt more news discussion

I'd like to join the contest

Well a netbook would help me with my studies I am in. I have always just read the articles maybe now I will actually comment...

Registered as I'm interested in entering the contest. Would love to have a netbook to play with. Have wanted to test one out with some DJ software to see what it could handle. I too like others have been a long time reader, but never joined in the conversation. TechSpot continues to be a relevant site without the constant "fanboy/flame" articles seen elsewhere. Keep up the good work.

hello ...

nice contest here, if Mauritius is eligible, i want to participate. thank you for adding me.
the Acer Aspire One 11.6" netbook is quite an interesting piece of hardware, with decent specifications.

thank you for such a great contest & allowing a worldwide participation ;)
(i remember my last comment on here was against SONY not having a OTHER COUNTRIES option ...)

cheers!

I'll join this contest

The netbook looks feature packed

This little netbook would be a great addition so I could have a smaller, yet very functional computer for my work since I travel allot and have limited space. I've had Acer products before and they work well and last. Count me in the contest.

've been checking TechSpot every day for the past fow months, but until now I didn't feel the need to sign up.
This would be great replacement for my old laptop witch the battery is compleatly dead for almost 1 month already.

I would like to join the contest please

oh nice one. Count me in.

I'd like to join the contest also,

I would love to give it to my mom as a Christmas Gift, of couse the gift card will say : From: Techspot & Me :)

I want to join!!!!

Best of luck to everyone! Just remember it's QUALITY, not quantity.

Just be a good part of the discussion and all should be well.

BTW
:wave:Welcome all new members to TechSpot:wave:
I hope to see you all around after this contest is over. You will find TechSpot a very fun, relaxing, & informative place.

I'm in...

I want I want!!!

Thanks guys. I really needed some kind of motivation to spew my opinions on everything tech.

I really don't like netbooks and don't see the point of them unless for VERY specific situations, BUT it seems like Acers Aspire One and it's 11.6" screen is a pretty nice solution to someone wanting something small enough to be portable yet big enough for people with thick fingers such as myself.
