my acer is hangon when i installed xp, pls can anyone tell me what the prblem is?
probably you don't understand the price of each component going into any device. do you know how its simple nowadays for mobile phones to have a MP cmos camera? what Acer is doing here is part & parcel of stratifying their products to "fit" their intended price point, so in case you're not satisfied with this "lame" netbook with a sub-MP webcam, then perhaqps you can buy their higher-end products. but not for me dude, there are other worthy alternatives to this one, and more coming soon as everybody is now jumping into the netbook bandwagon.
cos price sub $500...so we can't possibly expect the moon...laso
why the 0.3 mp camera? lame.
