 Amazing Buy for the Money September 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just received my Acer with Linux last night and it is amazing. The size, weight, speed and performance are up to par. The white color is not too bad and it does not show smudges as much compared to the blue or other colors.
Buy the linux version for several reasons. It loads faster. Less virus and "blue screen of deaths." It also helps to remove Microsofts monopoly power. But most of all, it is very easy to use. Yes, it is different but once you sit down and spend a few minutes looking around you will realize that it makes you life much easier.
This laptop is ideal for students, working professionals and Older folk who just want email and internet.
It is just so quiet, I could go on and on but I need to get back to work!
Why $100 more? September 3, 2008

BestBuy shows same model for $100 less (though currently sold out online). ASUS has cut wholesale price $75 but there has been no reduction at Amazan. Why?
Nice nice nice September 2, 2008
I've had the white machine "XP" , nice design and every one see this netbook he said he want to buy new one like it. Sleek , fast , clearly screen,Wireless radio good... Just I can say it's oky ,, this first notebook from acer am feeling it's really notebook
An outstanding product in its niche. September 2, 2008

First things first: This product is designed for portability over performance. Comparing it to a regular 14" laptop from Dell is a mistake, as they are different classes of product. I must also note that I bought the blue version of this product from a local retail store, but all technical specs are identical between the two versions.
That being said, the Aspire One is an outstanding example of what can be done in the "netbook" category. Despite its diminutive size, the keyboard is easy and comfortable to use, even for somebody with large fingers like myself, and the screen is bright, vivid, clear and easy to read. Performance is hard to precisely gauge, but it feels on-par with one of my old Athlon XP systems: Windows XP starts up in a reasonable amount of time and handles well. Internet applications like messenger services (Pidgin), IRC clients (mIRC) and web browsers (Firefox 3.0) work just fine, and other programs such as word processors, older games and other utilities are just as responsive. Even the audio production programs I use - such Ableton and Reason - run on the AAO, even if not spectacularly well (Reason requires a few tweaks to run adequately fast). The internal fan is nearly silent, and the unit itself doesn't give off an excessive amount of heat.
All that being said, there are a few caveats: The trackpad is small and the button placement is slightly awkward. It's usable, but I found myself using a USB mini-mouse instead. The screen does not look good at any off-angle, and needs to be looked at straight-forward to avoid washout, interfering reflections or the other pitfalls of glossy LCD screens. Battery life is subpar at 2.5 hours, but this is due to the fact that it uses a 3-cell instead of a 6-cell. Upgrading the RAM is possible, but only from 1GB to 1.5GB, since one of the RAM sticks is soldered onto the motherboard; replacing the other stick requires the almost complete disassembly of the unit, which will put many users off from doing so. For 99% of buyers, though, the included 1GB of memory will be adequate.
If you need a high-powered PC or notebook for gaming, photo/video editing, or other such demanding tasks, the Aspire One is not what you're looking for. If you need an extremely portable notebook that can do more basic tasks, the Aspire One is among the best in its class.
An Amazing Little Laptop September 1, 2008

I purchased this PC with much skepticism, as I thought it would simply be a waste of money, but costing under $400 (at Micr*C*nter); I was willing to give it a try, and it also be replacing me poor performing S*msung Q1 Ultra UMPC. I was surprised to find that it ran XP Home pretty well, was amazed by it's large capacity Hitachi disk drive, and at how powerful the Atom CPU can be. For the cost, this computer is totally worth it. It is nice, compact, easy to type keyboard, has an SD slot for more memory (which I put in a 16GB HCSD for iTunes), a regular SD/MS card reader, 3 USB ports and a VGA output. The web cam is also great.
Being as crazy as I am though, but also because I really need to run XP Pro or Vista, since I run SQL and Visual Studio; I installed Vista Business. It was very easy to install Vista, but if you do this you will soon realize that your WiFi, Ethernet and lots of other essential things needed to download drivers will stop working, so you will have to use a Sprint/Verizon USB Internet adapter to download the latest drivers, After you get all the latest Vista updates, this little PC runs like a charm. It takes a bit longer to boot up, not a whole lot longer, about a minute, but it runs SQL 2008, Visual Studio 2008, Adobe CS3 (mainly Dreamweaver and Photoshop), iTunes, Office Pro, and a few other crucial programs really well. I have yet to try any games on it, other than Spore Creature Creator, but that runs with out issues. ...o, also keep in mind that all will work with the Vista upgrade, except the web cam. Also, the VGA works great when plugging into an HDTV, even a 1080P one
I believe PC's should be portable, so I truly love this little PC a lot, and I'm happy I don't have to take a large chunk of my Macbook Air's drive to run Windows. Now I can happily have an OS X only computer, and a Vista only computer. If your someone that mainly uses your PC for typing papers, e-mails, web surfing, socializing, even developing, the Acer Aspire One is among the best; however, if your demanding and really need a Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, etc... than stick with a real laptop. I would recommend this be your second computer though, and that you at least have a more powerful desktop/laptop. One last thing, students and those in the corporate world, you may have to upgrade to XP Pro or Vista if your in a VPN environment; XP Home does not support VPN secure connections.
Those leaving under 3 stars, keep in mind this is not meant as a hardcore primary PC, understand the CPU cooler is a bit noisy, and note the XP Home limitations prior to purchase.
