Saw this Acer laptop, thought it may be of interest to those who are considering an EE pc for travel.

As it appears to run Linux Lite I guess that rules out Mapsource users?

Do these boot OK from a USB CD / DVD drive??

Dell are releasing their Inspiron 910 today. I have the Acer One and the Dell is far better (I had three on my desk earlier this week).

Slots for Wireless Wan (3G), Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, up to 32GB SSD (fantastic for slinging in your tank bag)

Comes in different colours too.

The build quality is really good compared to the Acer and the EEEPC.

They will be sold through PC World / Dixons / Tescos etc. so you can go have a look for yourself.

Yes and they can also boot from a properly configured USB memory stick.

The CD/DVD drive is extra (cheap CD drive around £10 from ebest24 or DVD writer for around £35).
