a écrit : Hi all,
I want to buy a UML and, I'm currently pending my decision on Acer AspireOne and Asus EeePc 901. Here are the pros and cons on each one.
Acer AspireOne Pros: - I already installed openSUSE 11.0 on this machine. Works 100% all devices. - Keyboard a little bit larger. May prove better for continuous typing. - Price.
Acer AspireOne Cons: - No Bluetooth. - 8GB storage is way slow. 3-4 MB/s write speed. - Wireless is not '802.11g'. - "Only" up to 3 hours of battery life. - Access to hardware cannot be made without voiding warranty.
Asus EeePc 901 pros: - Up to 8 hours battery life. - Bluetooth. - 4GB internal storage is fast ( don't know exactly how much ) witch can hold root file system. 16GB extra storage is also slow. - Access to hardware can be made without voiding warranty. - Wireless '802.11g' - 20GB total storage
Asus EeePc 901 cons: - Extra cost of €60,00 - Smaller keyboard. - Do not know if anyone successfully installed openSUSE 11.0 ( or other openSUSE ) on one of these... Bottom line: I'm inclined to go for the Asus despite of it's €60,00 increased cost but, I would like to know if anyone has installed it on openSUSE. Has anyone on this list has any experience on this ? If anyone has any option that may contradict any my claim please, do state your option.
Thanks, Rui Santos

Hi,
Have you consider the msi wind U100X ? I did consider it, but dropped it for a few reasons, witch I'll explain later on this email. I was surprised that no one talk about it on the mailing lists since it is ship with SuSE SLES preinstalled :-) OpenSuSE 11 works 100% (from what I have read on Google) about the same price as the eeePC 901 In my area it costs about 40€ ( 60$USD ) more. I am thinking of buying one...
SPECs: Intel ATOM 80 Gb hard drive (no SSD) This is one the problem. I wanted a non mechanical storage. It's important for what I want to do with it. 10.2" screen size Big keyboard Smaller than the Aspire No. Aspire also has a 8.9"" screen. 1.2 kg bluetooth Wifi b/g 3 USB
The only eck, is the 3 cell battery which should give 2h30 - 3h00 autonomy A model ship with a 6 cell battery should arrive soon That "soon" could be a problem... I wanted it almost now...
MSI could be nice options for many people. If you type a lot, you would need a bigger keyboard, IMO.
FYI
Cheers
Thanks for you input,
Matthias
