I also have an Acer Aspire One, manufactured in 2007, IIRC. A friend gave it to me, as it was getting dust in a closet. I love this little vermin. Extremely portable and cute, with a surprisingly acceptable keyboard. It's the one where I write my fiction in when I'm out there writing in parks, cafes or writer meetings.
I just had to replace the battery. I bought a rather bulky one, but it lasts like a million years of mostly text-only work.
