I'd say the Acer one is at least as good as the Compaq at Best Buy. They have pretty much the same specs. Lets just say around here you pretty much have to miss Thanksgiving to get in line at Best Buy to get anything good.
The Acer netbooks from Walmart, Target and Radio Shack are the same. Yes you can do Work documents on the netbook. At least I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Here is a list of the software that comes on the Acer from Target:
* Acer® Utilities
* Adobe® Acrobat® Reader
* Adobe® Flash® Player
* Android InstantOn
* eBay® shortcut
* eSobi
* Google Toolbar
* McAfee® Internet Security Suite (trial version)
* Microsoft® Office Starter 2010 (Has reduced-functionality
* Microsoft® Silverlight®
* MyWinLocker®
* Netflix® shortcut
* Norton Online Backup
* Skype
* Customized Windows® Internet Explorer® 8.0
* Windows Live Essentials
Whats the Android InstantOn? Thanks for the info...I really dont want to miss thanksgiving just to get the one at best buy. I only save 30 dollars if I get the compaq one at best buy anyways so I think im goin with the Acer. I just kno that my friend had a bad experience with acer so I didnt know if i should get or not but I think I will try because it seems better than hers was. Do i have to keep the netbook unopened if I buy it before the sale and then do the price match? Or do I just need the reciept? Also are there any color choices? i liked the blue one at walmart, does target have blue or any color choice other than black? Thanks
