Yeah... wish I'd gotten that. I went to FS and the sign said $275, except it was crossed out and in Handwriting it was like.. $340 or something.

The Acer Aspire One doesn't have Draft N, Bluetooth or a 6-cell battery but are those worth $75?

The keyboard on the MSI is nicer to type on vs. the Acer in my opinion. I suggest trying them out in store before buying online.

Is the N wi-fi card natively supported in OSX? I know I had to swap out the G card when I hacked a Wind last year.

There are a several variations of the Wind and each uses a slightly different wifi card and requires a separate driver to get working in OSX. I have the Ralink branded "N Wifi card" and it requires the Ralink wireless configuration utility to get running but OSX is now running great.

Very well. I can surf, listen to music, watch YouTube, email with no slow down. I have a 3-4 tabs open and not multitasking too much though. I get 4 hours battery life with brightness down and wifi on. Streaming HD videos do not work well on it though.

I just came back from Walmart and they have a version of the MSI Wind without bluetooth and with a 3 cell battery that's only $328. Personally I'd rather pay a bit more and get the 6 cell one that Canada Computer sells.
