A lot of not-so-good things happen when I start writing and it was no different when I named the HP Mini 311 as the “Netbook of the Year” for 2009.  In doing so, I received some feedback that the Acer 1410 was worth checking out and the comments were correct.  Even though Acer didn’t market the Aspire 1410 as a netbook it provides all of the things people have come to know and love about the new netbook category of computers.
