 Truly a little gem! December 25, 2008
I got my boyfriend this little laptop for his Christmas gift. To our surprise, the battery came from the factory with a full charge so he could start using it right away! He can't put it down! We'd been wanting a small laptop to take on our trips - for journaling and downloading the many photos we both take. We didn't want to pay the $1800+ for the small Sony, so we've gone without. This laptop is the perfect solution! We can't believe it's capabilities! Web browsing is surprising fast, much faster than our existing Vaio laptops. This is a perfect companion for anyone that travels or likes to surf the internet. And at only 2 pounds, he'll be able to take it anywhere! It's the size of a book yet the keyboard is almost full size. Amazing! With all the USB ports, I'm sure we'll find lots more uses for it that we haven't even thought of yet! What a little gem!
Not a desktop/laptop replacement, but does what it's suppose to do. December 21, 2008
This is a very well-designed netbook, which does everything it's suppose to do.
First of all, it is very light, which makes this device very mobile.
For its size, the keyboard works surprisingly well.
Only thing I don't like about is the split mouse button, which takes some time to get used to. Even after I got used to it, I'd still prefer normal mouse buttons.
Other than that, the keyboard and touch pad works like a charm.
I've watch netflix, hulu, and youtube videos without any problem.
I even managed to watch HD trailers on yahoo movie without any problem.
It is true the Intel Atom processor is lacking certain "oopms" the duel cores offer. And that's the reason why I said this netbook is not a replacement computer. You'll notice it takes little longer for certain programs to execute than your typical deskptop/laptop but it's not something you should to too concerned about.
Like most netbooks, this does not have any optical drives. (No DVD player)
Screen is beautiful and very crisp.
Battery life isn't something I can brag about since it lasts me about 2 hours with my 3 cell battery.
I can order a 6 cell battery but I don't like the fact that battery will stick out from back of the computer but if you are looking for longer battery life, just know that there is an option.
Fan is bit loud.
Audio is decent. Sometime it sounds too "echo-y" when I crank up the volume but it's much better than my Samsung Q1UP speakers since you can actually hear the sound.
Webcam works beautifully.
I've tested skype and it works very smoothly with high video/audio quality.
You can upgrade the memory to 2GB but it's not something you can simply open up a slot and install.
I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you have some experience with opening up your computer completely because you seriously need to pull apart almost the whole computer just to install 1 extra GB of memory.
I can't think of anything else to talk about.
The reason I gave it 5 stars, even with few kinks here and there, is because of the netbook's capabilities with such a low price.
I highly recommend this netbook for students for its mobility and price.
Acer What a Sweet Baby December 17, 2008
I purchased this computer after our Dell broke down. The price is awesome only 350.00 compared to twice that for a full=size laptop. I read Amazon reviews prior to purchase to be sure i made the right decision, and I am very pleased with my purchase.
I have only had my Aspire one for a few days but already love it. The size is awesome, i can take it anywhere, it is so small you can carry right with your books. The size is also great for those small desks in some college classrooms.
It does not like to have multiple windows open at the same time. I have froze up several times when i was running office and explorer, but i can live with that.
I was pleased that it came with works and office trial.
I took this to my college classes on the last day, everyone loved it! One thought it was adorable and looked like a computer had a baby.
This would be awesome for students.
So far so good December 14, 2008
After thinking about this for awhile, and nearly salivating looking at them, I finally bought one. I download e-books, and my lappie just wasn't conducive to relaxing with a good book----ironic because that's why I went to a laptop from a desktop. I had looked at the Sony e-reader, and yes the Kindle. Neither are much smaller than this, and not much of a price difference. This however can access the internet without extra cost and is portable.
No DVD/CD player,for me that's OK,I rarely use it anyway. If I think I'd like one, I'll buy an external unit.
So far I love it. I'm not techy---at all---and the set up was a snap, it basically did it itself, Once set up I connected it to my wireless, again very easy, and I was ready to start playing.
I don't really notice the fan others have. The keyboard is smaller, but this is a mini-laptop, what would you expect? I don't really find this an issue. I bet it's a challenge for those with bigger hands and fingers.
I see from one of the previous reviewers that I can get a 6-cell battery for it-will this improve performance on battery?-it is rather slow running just on battery, and RAM can be added to for Vista, I'll be in touch with you-:).
My concern at this point is that my bigger laptop may end up neglected in favor of this one.
I would definitely recommend this item, and Acer in general. Both my lappies are Acer and I've been very satisfied.
