I have/do use both. A full sized Dell Vostro, or an Acer Aspire One, both on Win XP.
I have gravitated to using the Acer for my FT-817. However, reaching the trifocal stage of my life, for home use, I have attached a separate monitor to it for better visibility. However, for field use, the Acer is much nicer to cart along. At home, I use the Dell for monitoring wsprnet, and QRZ.com for lookups, etc. For traveling, I tend to take the Acer, just because of its size. BTW, the Acer only cost me $300, so if it didn't work out, I wasn't out a lot. The acer is somewhat slower than the Dell, but running HRD/DM780, wsprnet, JT65-HF, etc., ONE AT A TIME presents no problem. /paul W3FIS
