The August Computer HotSpot is still in full swing! I’m so excited by this promotion, and if you’ve been looking for an excuse to upgrade your computer, you should be too. Every single computer, be it a laptop, desktop, or netbook, is available for 6 Easy Payments. Better yet, select models have Free Standard S&H and Event Prices! Overwhelmed? Don’t be. Each week I’m picking one computer and sharing why it may be the perfect option for you!

Last week, we talked desktops. This week, I’ve fallen in love with a netbook. The Acer 250GB 10.1-inch netbook with Intel dual-core processor and 1GB RAM (E166535), to be exact. Looking over the specs, you might be confused by why I picked it. It’s not the most powerful computer QVC sells, and while 250GB of hard drive space is huge (big enough to hold thousands of songs, movies, and pictures), it’s still a far cry from what you can get in bigger notebooks or desktops.

But netbooks are different. What they lack in power they make up for in portability and ease of use. If you’ve ever traveled with a big laptop, you know it’s not as portable as it seems. It’s great for moving around the house and making short trips, but the battery life and weight can make awesome, giant notebook computers a hassle to bring on planes or longer vacations.

That’s what makes this netbook unique. Not only is it affordable, it’s one of the most convenient computers you’ll ever buy. With its 10” screen, the Acer is the perfect size for anyone on the go. It’s only 1” thick and weighs less than 3 lbs., and with its eight-hour battery life, you can use it on a cross-country flight without needing to recharge.

How do I know? Because I did it earlier this year! On the way to E3, I flew from Pennsylvania to California, and as soon as I was allowed, I took out my netbook and started computing away. When I landed, I still had a few hours of battery life left! I was able to get work done and watch a few episodes of a TV show I had purchased. It made the flight go by in a snap!

That’s it for this week, but check back next week when I’ll reveal another one my favorite computers currently available for 6 Easy Payments!
