I am about to replace my original Asus Eee note book, that's the one
with a 7" screen. Have trouble reading it so would like a 10" screen.
A leading retailer has a single core Asus with that screen at $413 and
a Acer Aspire dual core with the same size screen at $494. My question
is how important is the dual core. Intended use is the usaul email,
web sites like the Herald etc, all via WiFi,and saving from my
camera, and maybe watching video from a flash drive.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks

Heck, it is still going. Amazing in some ways.

How is your disposal income?

$83 for an extra core. Does that not tell you something. For me single cores
are so ... well even phones are going dual core.

A dual core is more future proofed.

This is the one that I should go for, DSE has it for $349 and beats the
ones you list, as it has a faster CPU.

NOTE: it does not have a LAN port as I brought one for my wife.


Plus it has a None reflective screen.

**** CORRECTION ****

The LAN port is hidden under a small cover in the back corner of the
case, not listed in any documentation.



There are still limitation in using the Small screen as some programs
require 1024 x 768 even IE9 using Options has this problem as you cant
access the Apply or OK button at the bottom of the screen.

Even the HP Registration program has the same problem.

Some program can work if you make the task bar Auto hide.
