Acer Aspire One 11.6" LED-Backlit Widescreen Laptop with an 8x8" Shutterfly Photobook for $249.99 [Shipped]

I bought this same netbook on Amazon, except I paid $50 more in order to get 4GB of RAM and no accessories. It's got 64-bit Windows Home premium and a Celeron 877 which is the slowest chip in the Sandybridge family. (Sandybridge includes the Core I3, I5 and I7.) Basically it's about twice as fast as the currently fastest Atom dual core processor, and it continues to be around $340 on Amazon with 4GB of RAM. I am extremely pleased with its performance. No issues running JAWS or NVDA, though Office 2010 Starter has advertising which the screen reader also voices. It's a good idea to remove craplets including the bloated Mcafee anti-virus and replace with Microsoft Security essentials, but after that it is lightning-fast and runs all software that will work in 64-bit Windows 7. The audio was reported terrible by reviewers, but actually it's only the internal speaker that's terrible; the audio with headphones is just fine, or use an external USB audio device. It's also trivial to add more RAM; there's an extra slot for a standard laptop SODIM, and a blind person with technical skills, or your friendly neighborhood ham radio buddy can do it in just a few minutes. So you could potentially have 16GB of RAM for less than $100 if you shop with care. After all my research, I'm fairly sure this is currently the best laptop on the market for someone who doesn't care about video under $500. And reviewers say the video is fairly decent anyway, except that it's only a 11.6 inch screen. The 4 hours of battery life is if you crank that video up high; I get 6 hours with it dimmed as low as possible. If you listen for long periods without typing, there's a keystroke that shuts the video off altogether. Also when you turn off the touchpad, it *STAYS* off, which is really nice -- my previous netbook kept turning up the brightness and turning on the touchpad each time you resumed from sleep or restarted. Not so with the AO756!
