Great little notebook. Keyboard is just perfect size. I had mine booting 4 different OSes: Vista, XP, OSX and Ubuntu 8.04 using Vista boot loader.
Atom CPU is no workhorse but has enough power to handle most tasks. 3 Cell Battery lasts around 2.5 hrs in XP and 3hrs in Vista.
Construction feels very solid and it has a professional look, not a toy look like early Asus minis.
Pros:
Perfect keyboard, big shift keys
Shiny elegant finish
Bright screen
120 GB hard disk
Synaptics touchpad is great and very sensitive
Great for watching movies
Cons:
Cover is a fingerprint magnet
Black bezel is easily scratched.
Fan runs often
Weird touchpad button location but it's easy to get used to them.
Memory upgrade and modifications are complex, requiring full disassembly
Just sold my Blue Aspire One and got a Onyx Black with 6 cell battery... nice!

I had a wretched experience with the HP 2133. I mentioned in the Amazon review of it (which I had no idea would end up all over the 'Net, tons of other sites are pilfering and posting these reviews) that I had bought an Acer Aspire One.
I like toys, I gave away the ASUS when I bought the HP 2133.
To complete the story:
I've taken the Acer on road trips, occasionally used it at home. It's small, the keyboard is barely big enough for touch typing, but, barely is enough. I'm half deaf, if the fan rattles I never hear it. I'm used to the SONY Vaio, so I'm thrilled with 2.5 hours battery. After stripping almost all the startup programs with msconfig, boot is much faster. We bought new office machines with VISTA when it was first released, XP on the Acer is an old friend ... one I'd missed.
The 120gig hd version wasn't priced much higher than the computer with the smaller flash memory, although the hd is more likely to be busted if dropped. I'm taking the chance.

After 4 weeks of use, here's what I've found.
PROS:
Light Weight
Low Cost
Decent Battery Life
Windows XP
Multi-monitor support
CONS:
Backup Windows CD not included/not available (The documentation on the Acer sight said to burn a CD using the eRecovery software on the computer. The eRecovery software is present, but it doesn't have that option. The Acer sight offers a CD for $20, but I heard that they send you the Linux CD, not the Windows XP CD.)
Loud cooling fan (sometimes).
Flickering LED backlight during hard drive access if brightness is turned down.
Touchpad buttons are a bit stiff (Though they loosen up with a little use).
Documentation (It took me a while to figure out the multi-touch touchpad was causing me to accidentally change the text size in Internet Explorer. I still haven't gotten the hang of using the touchpad to scroll a scrollbar. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.)
