We received the Acer 1410 a few days ago, very promptly delivered from Amazon. First impressions are VERY positive.
I have used several laptops and an EEE PC 901 before quite extensively. (The EEE was returned to Amazon recently after internet connection problems. Amazon returns were great, a full refund was very prompt, which gave me the confidence to use them again.)
The EEE was a great machine, and I was impressed size-wise. However, in retrospect, it was a capabale web browser, but had a mediocre screen and a performance unsuited to medium or heavy usage. My wife found the small keyboard fiddly and difficult for extended use.
The Acer on the other hand has pretty reasonable performance. Granted it is never going to be a top end games machine, but it runs all the things I have tried on it. All YouTube videos have looked great. BBC's "Life" on iPlayer looked fantastic on the high resolution screen. The wider screen resolution also makes web browsing easier. I have not required any sideways scrolling at all. I have tried out OpenOffice 3.1, which runs very quickly and is close enough (and compatible enough and free) to Office 2000 for both mine and my wife's work needs. The keyboard is top notch, feels completely full size, with good travel and response. I have no bother touch typing (as far as my limited typing goes!), though find the flat unsculpted keys odd.
The 250Gb hard disc is great in a machine this size: It will become our iTunes base once all our songs have been transferred. The 6 hour battery life quoted is about right as an average. I get a little more than this with light usage.
My machine shipped with Windows 7, which looks good on first impression. Better than what little use I have had on Vista. I timed start-up at about 1 minute 20 to full active status, and about a further 2 seconds to get the Wifi connection. Shut down is less than 20 seconds. This is much better than my experience with XP or Vista on any machine, but no match for anything running Linux.
I felt the EEE 901 was good for its basic purpose and a great small machine, but had too many compromises. It could not really be used as a second PC for work or any serious use. The Asus, while a little larger, is still truly very portable, but more importantly, if you are not bothered about 3D real time gaming performance, it is truly a PC.
Want a machine you can really use on the move? I don't think you could do better. Pricey compared to other netbooks, yes, but worth the extra for the massively increased useability.

Well I bought this for myself as a christmas present to myself, I had been looking for a netbook for my college work, and really wanted something that was as portable as possible. Due to getting a bit old (well 32,Eyesight not what it was!) I really wanted something with a 12" screen or close, so this narrowed down my choices a bit.
I had been looking at this and the acer 751 also with 11.6" screen, after looking at a huge amount of reviews online I decided to spend the extra £100 and purchase the 1410, The spec of mine is a little different to the one sold by Amazon here, Mine is the same CPU but 3GB RAM and 160GB hard drive and windows 7 home premium.... Otherwise all the same spec, In case you are wondering mine was purchased from Currys, Wanted some instant xmas gratification the price was less than amazon and also wanted to beat the VAT increase.
So far I am very impressed battery seems able to last a day of on and off browsing and watching dvd's and general use...I have installed photoshop elements and done a little editing and this has not slowed down the machine to much, This was one of the main reasons I opted for this over the 751 as it has an Intel celeron processor onboard rather than the Atom of most netbooks.
The screen looks to be very good I really like how the colours are on it and also seems to be quite sharp as well, Another item I like is the multi touch trackpad where I can swipe my fingers and zoom on a webpage which is really good as sometimes i strain my eyes a little reading some of the small type.
I have also bought some extras for this a slimline DVD drive, I didnt get a writer as the idea of having a netbook is to be able to carry it about and not waste time burning discs and the like, I have memory sticks if I need to move some files and a large USB hard drive at home to back stuff up onto. The other purchase has been a swordfish bag to keep it in which fits very nicely and also has a side compartment to keep the dvd drive in, Speaking of which the dvd drive is Liteon one which has a tiny USB cable that fits under the bottom of it which is a great idea, This runs from the netbooks power and I havent really used it under the Acers own power yet so I cant comment how long it will last on the battery with it running.
So any cons, Well one I have found so far is it seems to only have a small backspace key which meant I would often hit the wrong key, But slowly I am getting used to it, Also it does a feel a little plasticky but for £349 you can hardly expect some aluminium titanium artpiece! The outside also is in shiny piano black which looks great but is a serious fingerprint magnet, I would maybe suggest having a look at the other colours if this is something you think may bother you.
One other thing, I have seen this available as a dual core machine, My one is single core but not sure if the dual core is available in the UK.
I would wholeheartedly reccomend this to anyone looking for a netbook well worth spending the extra money on, Some may call this a notebook I have no idea I just know it does what I want it too so a well deserved 5 stars!

Searching for a netbook is like picking the perfect sheep. They all have the same specs, a similar look and make the same noise. Baahhhaahhhaaa.....
After many a day searching and indeed some late nights searching (for netbooks, honest!), I finally found what I was looking for. I nearly bought the HP mini at just over 200 notes, but I wanted more power, Captain.
For me, this is an ideal machine, not too small that you'll lose it down the back of the sofa, not too big so it crushes your lap or the coffee table (I only drink tea, why do I have a coffee table!), but just right, so you can browse the web and watch online movies / tv all you want.
The size also means I can carry it around with ease, in a carry case of course, wouldn't want the little beauty getting scratched now!
With a proper version of Windows 7, in this case, Home Premium, it allows you to do, well, whatever the hell you want. The other netbooks come with either Windows XP (?) or Windows 7 Starter, which is limited quite a bit.
It's slightly thicker than I would have thought and I don't mean Windows now, I'm back on the laptop. Do keep up. It's not a cause for concern, just an observation.
Anyway, apart from the obvious uses of late night browsing, while the wife watches yet another soap, I can watch movies or TV online, do the aforementioned browsing, access my email, listen to music, view and edit photo's. Although not all at the same time, not because this little beauty couldn't handle it, just that as a man, I can't multi-task that much!
As a side note, I've not really tried the external speaker apart from the generic start up sounds, but the sound through my headphones (Apple ones of all things) is really good, very good depth, which is how I like it.
Also, it is a quiet machine, although the fan is audible if there is no other sound, if you still can't hear it with no other sound present, I'd see a specialist and have you lug holes syringed!
So in conclusion, go ahead and buy it, if you're looking for a small laptop but need more power (Captain) than the pesky little netbooks can give you.
