I purchased my Acer Aspire One netbook about a month ago and I wish I had this netbook years ago. I could have been so much more productive with it. I love the size of it, 8.9 inch screen and I love the fact that it is so light, under two pounds. I have had lots of gadgets in my lifetime from laptops to pocket pcs but there is no way that they will ever compare to my netbook.

The netbook I chose has 1 gig of ram and has a 160 gig hard-drive. It has a built-in webcam too. I won't be using the webcam too much but it is a nice feature if I ever decide I want to use it. They come in all kinds of colours but I wanted my favourite colour, blue.

I do have a desktop that has pretty much everything on it that I could ever want so why would I want a netbook. Well, for many reasons. The netbook allows me to be more flexible. I can sit outside with it or take it with me if I go on a trip or a drive.

I am a writer. I have written hundreds of children's stories to date and want to still write new ones all the time. Right now, I am dealing with back pain issues. It is sometimes very uncomfortable for me to sit in my regular computer chair for hours on end. Now, I just grab my little netbook and can type away right in my lazyboy chair with my heating pad on my back because right now, that is the most comfortable place for me to be.
