Like other netbook, it is ultra light and easy to use with Windows XP.
Light and suitable for travellers It is only 1.2 kg in weight and the portability is brilliant. The li-ion battery can last for 3 hours and it is equipped with wifi, so you can use the netbook in the airport for checking emails and browse web pages.
Windows XP I think it is a good feature for a netbook. Personally I think Vista is not very good designed and netbook with Linux may not be an easy option for most people who are used to use Windows system.
For web application only It can be a good reason to use the netbook for web application based purpose. It uses Atom processor, which is not powerful at all. It is good enough for web browsing and office applications, so you'd better not try to use it for complicated applications. It is a cheap version of ultra light laptop, so this is what you've paid for.
All means for your travel The multi-card reader is always equipped on Acer laptop and netbook. It is very handy for you to transfer any pictures from your camera. Bluetooth on this netbook also allows you to communicate with your PDA or mobile phone. It has a Acer Crystal Eye webcam, which allows you to have the video talk with someone you love.
Some issues You may like to have it last longer if you could not find a suitable socket to plug it for recharging the battery, so 6-cell battery will be a wise choice. It comes with standerd 12 months warranty. If you'd like the netbook lives longer, buy some extended warranty for peace of mind.
Enjoy your travel. :)
