[Technical] offtopic: burning netbook hardware decisions

[Roland Gesthuizen]

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

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.

Regards Roland
