I recently bought an Aspire One (Windows XP home, 120GB HDD, 1 GIG of ram) and i have to say, it has exceeded all my expectations, it does everything i need, plays games (Popcap and Gamehouse), handles Office superbly, provides a good browsing experience. And to top it all off the VGA port for external monitor even makes it perfect for software development. I give this item an A++. I got mine with the $100 cashback option from Acer (valid to the end of october) so it only cost me $500.

Although the standard battery does give you about 1.5 - 2 hours with average load (ie. Popcap game or similar) i want more battery time, i so invested in the 6-cell battery.

Average User Rating 6

As one of Australia's few locally designed netbooks, the Kogan Agora lives up to some lofty netbook ideals, but it’s sadly ho-hum in too many aspects to be seen as a real netbook contender.
