I finally found a relatively cheap notebook with what seems like good specs, and was wondering what people though of it. The only thing it hasnt got is a dvd/cd player. I cant even find one that has. If anybody knows of a notebook that has one can they let me know? The specs are Acer Aspire One A150-Aw Netbook, Linpus Linux Lite version, 512MB DDR2 RAM, 120GB HD with a Kingston Technology 1GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 SODIMM Insert as an extra, the whole package costs £200. I wondered if that was a good deal, also I wondered how easy it would be to install Ubuntu on it. As it doesnt have a dvd/cd player, would Ubuntu work on it, and how would I install it? Thank you.
