Please, don&#8217;t ask me why. My co-workers got me wanting one and I thought what the hey. It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve bought a nice new gadget for myself. (Not counting the kitchen goodies.)<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get just the laptop. I got it with a customisation. They only had white and blue ones; blue is a colour I absolutely don&#8217;t like and white is a bit too&#8230; Apple. Ick. So, I decided to have a white One customised to metallic red. Niiice. <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> It&#8217;ll still have a white keyboard and touchpad and the screen and its frame are black, but the rest will be red.<\/p>\n<p>And, I didn&#8217;t get just the laptop and the customisation. I got an 8 GB memory card to add to the 8GB Flash-drive.<\/p>\n<p>And, I didn&#8217;t get just the laptop, the customisation, and the memory card. I got a laptop sleeve to protect the lovely gadget.<\/p>\n<p>And, I didn&#8217;t get just the laptop, the customisation, the memory card, and the bag. I got a WLAN router because what fun would it be to have a WLAN-capable laptop and have to plug it in.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t get these for Christmas, though. I&#8217;ll have to wait until the start of January because the customisation has a queue and they&#8217;re quite busy at this time of the year (no surprise). But it&#8217;ll be in time for my birthday. Can&#8217;t wait! Will post photos once I get my One.<\/p>\n<p><small>Note to self: remember to re-read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reghardware.co.uk\/2008\/09\/05\/ten_aspire_one_tips\/\">ten tips for new Aspire One<\/a> in January.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I went and bought an Acer Aspire One (with Linux Lite).
