I have one, it's amazing. I put it in my camera bag, backpack, and took it to Cuba. It sits beside my easy chair. My main system is an HP media deal with 10 gigs of memory Vista and 1 tb hd. I do most of my work on that in the 'studio' downstairs. Upstairs I have an acoustic piano and a standard Bose radio CD player. I put the acer on the piano and run band in a box from an external hd. and use the Dxi software synth and have no issues other than about 4 or 5 seconds longer to generate a song, or bit more if it's all RealTracks. I find a laptop too big anymore, and do 90 percent of my stuff on the wee thing. I do have Ubuntu on my laptop on my big screen TV but the Acer is faster to work with, don't need to pull the wireless keyboard and mouse out...and well, just take care of it and you sure get your money's worth. If I put a buck in a jar for every hour I've used it there be thousands in there...
