Rob and I are currently evaluating two different netbook devices for our college for a 1:1 senior student deployment, comparing Acer Aspire 1830T with the Levono X201<div><br><div><div><div>The Acer is slightly better spec'd, 4 year warranty, slightly lighter, cheaper screen replacement cost ($160 vs $450) and our techs strongly favour the Levono as it seems to have more solid looking parts, screws etc. I know this is off topic but I am a bit concerned about the backup, support for both and would like some anecdotal feedback and honest thoughts (either on or off list) that I can pass on from anybody that is already using either model in a 1:1 program.</div>
