This One or That One?

My friend asked my help in choosing the right laptop or notebook. She don't want to spent a lot of money for it so she prefers something affordable and durable.I have two choices, the HP Mini or the Acer Aspire. My brand is HP so I'm kinda bias about it. But Acer Aspire is an excellent brand too. You can buy it for less than $300. It's lightweight and and less than 1 inch thin. You can get good deal of this notebook at buy.com. My friend don't need to wait for the After thanksgiving sale because she can get it buy.com for much lower price.
