We've always been fond of our pal Marsha, but her recent trip to Europe made her ridiculously hot. Marsha, you see, bopped through Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic with a netbook – something we want sooooo bad.
The whole point is mobility. Marsha's Acer computer (us.acer.com) measures only about only eight inches across and balances nicely in her globetrotting little hand. The smaller size means less parts – a plus on the sustainability side. She carried it in her purse most times. The battery chugs along for about seven and a half hours, powering her email exchanges and Web searches. "It totally transformed the way I travel," Marsha says, rubbing it in.
For all this, she paid just under $300 – not cheap exactly, but, as Marsha explained, if she lost it during her adventures, she wouldn't feel crushed. But a crush is precisely what we have on the netbook. And this love will not go unrequited! Stay tuned!

Also, it came standard with a built-in web cam and we were able to communicate with him for free with Skype (I love Skype). This was especially meaningful to me since he was gone for 3 months. I, and he, highly recommend the netbook.
