Yes, but buying anything is always about compromises. Recent HDD models 
are pretty good and I don't need the most hi-end model with an extreme 
battery life, just a reasonable uptime with HDD. I think I'll go for the 
Acer Aspire ONE. I haven't got comments from these lists about that 
model in particular but I googled a bit and it seems mostly everything 
works with it.
