ACER Extensa Notebook 2501LM (www.dse.co.nz)

Or the

Acer 3002LC Notebook (www.dse.co.nz)

Now I am wondering is there much diffence between Win XP pro & Home? (Part from you can network fewer computers with Home then pro) ( e.g. I mean it the way of day to day use)

356695 2005-05-19 12:39:00 yes there is a difference - u can type faster in xp home. but seriously, no - i have both & no diff for day to day stuff. and i have been recommending xp home for even small businesses - i've set up both & they don't even know the diff. quarry (252)

Pro has extras like being able to give help via remote help.
Mostly unless you need the extras don't pay extra and buy Pro.

In my case I need it. Most don't.

Home Ed.'s Networking does the same thing, but you just have to go a different way about it, as home users dont really worry about Networking, or thats what Gates thought.
