Mobile Computer magazine in the UK has a video comparison of three of the new breed of tiny laptops, the MSI Wind, Asus Eee 901 and the Acer Aspire One.

MobileComputer has a hands on with the Aspire One, they also have a good video of the Aspire One’s Linpus Linux Lite OS running.
“We didn’t get to spend long with the Aspire One and we should get a one in for full review some time next week. First impressions were good though, and the laptop feels solid and well put-together. The LED backlit screen is clear and bright; the keyboard on a par (both in terms of size and quality) with that on the MSI Wind. Good, in other words.
At just under 1kg for the three-cell battery model, the Acer Aspire One weighs about the same as the competition, but size-wise, it sits somewhere between the MSI Wind and Eee PC 900.”

They also have a good amount of pictures of the Acer Aspire One running, viewable here
TechDigest got the first UK review:
“Dan and I were the first people in the world yesterday to get hold of the Aspire One sub-notebook, which was announced on Tuesday. We used it for the majority of the day, and were deeply impressed with how ‘grown-up’ it was in comparison to the Eee.
Check it out in the video below, and if you’d like to get your fingerprints all over that glossy exterior, you’ll have to save up £199 for the Linux version, or £299 for the Windows XP version, which both launch in July.”
