Acer Aspire One Pro 531 Netbook

The first thing to note about the Aspire One 531 Pro edition is that it has a solid state drive. This means an ultr-fast boot up time and quick read times for data. It's a healthy 64Gb as well. Plenty of room for business use.

Another difference between the 531 Pro and it's consumer cousin is the extra gigabyte of RAM the netbook up to 2Gb of memory. This is crucial to be able to run the latest Microsoft Office applications. This netbook won't balk at number crunching.

The final difference is an upgrade of the operating system to Windows XP Pro. XP Professional gives business users extra security - vital if you're taking your netbook out and about with sensative data on it. The XP Pro remote desktop utility allows you to access your work machine on the road - super handy.

You'll pay an extra £150 - £200 for this souped up version of the Acer Aspire One 531, but if work's paying, go for it.
