Well, if you're comparing the 8.9" Aspire One to the Thinkpad X200.... the
X200 has almost double the volume and 50% more weight, and still costs
almost 5 times as much as the Aspire One. Sure, it's faster too, and
apparently the fan is more to your liking. To someone whose first and
second priorities are size/portability and price, though, the X200 would
simply be the wrong choice.
you wanna buyy my aspire one?
Nope, they're cheap enough to buy off the shelf and get the warranty.
Besides, my main machine is a Thinkpad X41, so I'm already on board with
the whole 12" thing (in fact, I've never bought a laptop with a screen
larger than 12 inches, and I've paid a premium for that.) If I buy a
netbook, it'll be have to be one with a hard disk in order to replace my
clunky, Linux-based-but-crippled Archos 160GB jukebox.
