If it is blocked off, you probably don't have one. Laptop manufacturers use standard cases for multiple laptops, then they punch out openings when they need it. In this case, your laptop doesn't have an hdmi port, so they left the plastic covering on.

"and the move is understandable given the nature of Android's open-source focus" What? That is completely not understandable. An open source focus means that users and app developers are free to do whatever they want with their operating system and software. Forcing users to user a revenue...

I wonder how well they will be able to keep the public interested in the product for another year. People might move on to the next big thing by then.

The GeForce GT 525M is your limiting part. Unfortunately you cannot upgrade laptop GPUs. What type of games do you play?

I still think there is privacy concerns. The difference between google glass you your cell phone is that at least with a cell phone, you can catch somebody taping things. Google glass makes it harder to tell if you are being recorded or not. I guess we will see how much of a privacy issue...

My friend who works at an apple store says that they may be able to help you. If you purchased the ipad from apple and give them your serial # and proof of ID, they may be able to help you track it. I don't know if the stores around you will do the same though, but it is worth a try. Also...

Ya. If you have the disks and the time, you could try to install XP. If all fails, a factory restore will bring it back. Best of luck :)! Enjoy your netbook

Also, sorry for the pseudo double post, but I did mention in an edit that you may have a tough time getting windows xp to connect to the internet (through wifi) and get the graphics chip to run. It might make LoL unplayable. What do you want to do on windows XP other than LoL and office?

I opted for XP on my system because of the speed too. There's no harm in giving it a try, and you are right, you won't be missing out on anything by downgrading to 32-bit. Watch out though, drivers may not exist for XP. Look on the Acer support page for the notebook before installing XP...

As a previous acer aspire one owner (albiet an older and less powerful intel atom one), I would say that you got a pretty good deal if you want to do school work and general internet stuff on it. In college, it was a great light system to carry around to pull up homework and email professors...

Just out of curiosity, can you post the full model # for each laptop. If you don't know them, can you post the full systems specs. I am mostly interested in the RAM modules on each laptop, but other info also interests me.
