Thanks so much for this wonderful post. In what ways is it trimmd down? Is it something you notice or more on the technical end. Btw, I bought the Acer Aspire One (model AOA150-1635 Safire blue) Here's a very good review of it though it does have constant images. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4575 This and the general specs might be able to tell you if Leopard can be installed on it. In any case, for $299 and with so many positive reviews, I don't think I went wrong. Now I just have to find the 6-cell (or 9-cell if there really is such a thing) battery and I should be set.
