I grabbed an
Acer Aspire One this weekend. The Windows XP model was on sale at FutureShop for $299.
Here are some random first impressions:
- The form factor is very cool. Not too small but very light.
- FutureShop (Canadian reseller) only sells models with bilingual (English or French) keyboards.
- The Canadian models allow you to select XP in English or French.
- The whole setup process takes less then an hour (didn't timed it).
- The color choice I had was between sapphire blue and sapphire blue.
- Sapphire blue is a fingerprint magnet.
- The power supply is very tiny.
- Deinstalled Office Student 2007 trial and Mcafee.
- Installed Free AVG, Spyware Doctor and Picassa (both from Google Pack).
- I had an old 5.25" external USB enclosure so I stuffed in there a DVD drive to install Office Ultimate 2007 and Visual Studio Team Suite.
- Installed SQL Server Express 2008.
- Some dialog boxes have a height of 600 pixels.
- Copied some files to the netbook using an external 2.5" USB drive.
- Wifi works without problems.
- External VGA can output more then 1024x600 if the netbook screen is disabled. The driver can go up 2048x1536 however I wouldn't dare go as high. I tested it with an output of 1280x800. Nice!
- If you want to use it as a presentation machine, you must have a podium like setup where you see the output from an external monitor and the projector.
- XP boots fast.
- A fresh boot leaves me with 500MB free memory. Shocking!
- Visual Studio takes about 8 seconds to start.
I see me using it when:
- Doing presentations that don't require a virtual machine or not CPU intense.
- On a plane to watch a movie or work on a document or presentation.
- As a photo viewer when I go see family and friends.
- Bringing a laptop with me just in case.
- Bringing a backup presentation machine.
- On vacations to dump the daily pictures.
If you're a student or know one, do you that students can get a heavily discounted copy of Office Ultimate 2007? In the US, the price is $59.95 US and in Canada it's $64 CDN. The offer is available in about a dozen countries around the world.
Vista Ultimate is also available for $64.95 US / $70 CDN.

I didn't knew that the PDC brain had a name: Brianna. You can even ask her some PDC related questions:
When debugging code that creates database transactions using TransactionScope, you may have an odd error when commiting. That's because the default transaction timeout is 1 minute. You can increase the timeout value in the TransactionScope constructor or in the config file like this:
<configuration>
<system.transactions>
<defaultSettings timeout="00:05:00" />
</system.transactions>
</configuration>
Looks like Mario was wrong. Christian Beauclair has the correct date.
Many people asked me when they'll be able to register for TechDays. I think that in this picture, Mario Cardinal is telling us something ;-)
