Magic dave, your problem with keys not being in the correct place is that you have selected the "US English" keyboard in the options. If you select "UK English" the problem will be resolved and the keys will work as marked. Therefore a great little computer with no problems.

My Acer Aspire One arrived today. Within an hour I had everything up and running including downloading some additional programmes I wabted like i-tunes, etc.
OK so it doesn't come with any CD/DVD drive, but lets be honest how often do you use it, and if you do then you can get a plug in DVD burner for under 40 quid
I do have a couple of issues, namely some of the keys are incorrectly labeled, like the @ is on number 2 and I'm still looking for the pound symbol, it's not on shift 3 as expected!!
But for under 300 quid I have a wireless laptop that I can use at home, in the car and down the local cafe. I can access my mail within 15 seconds, surf the web and watch shows from the bbc iplayer (the screen quality is brilliant)
One last thing, it's equipped with a great built in webcam! having lots of fun with that!!!
