Purchased to fullfill a niche, which it did very very well, although I upgraded the battery to a 12 cell, the RAM to 2GM, and the operating system to XP Pro, now I use it almost exclusively finding it to perform better than my expectations.
Highly recommended.
Awesome little workhorse of a netbook and still going strong after 15 months of daily use. The light weight and small size is great for taking it everywhere I go. When I need more display room for my work, it’s a snap to connect the Aspire One to a large size monitor using the VGA port. Quiet fan and cool running, long lasting battery. Keep the temp files and reg clean and it will continue to run as fast as the first day it booted up. The price has dropped and I’ll be buying more Aspire Ones for my home network.
This unit has surpassed every hope that I had for it. It is a full featured (minus DVD) comupter. Full sized keyboard with a great touch. I traded a 15 pound “portable” for 2.5 pounds. Love it!!!!!
Prior to owning this machine, I had been carting around an Apple iBook for years. After two days wasted trying to install a piece of software that I was certain was supported by Windows, I finally gave up and purchased one of these netbooks.
I couldn’t be happier. It’s lightweight, runs XP, and has very reasonable battery life. The keyboard is a little small for my pudgy fingers, but not unacceptably so; when I have to do a marathon coding session, I pack a full-sized USB keyboard and mouse and get some real work done.
” The Acer Aspire One 8.9″ is a tiny but yet powerful computer. Running Windows XP Home Edition, the netbook provides all the services and convenience of a full dimension laptop packed into the size of a large book. The screen is tiny and the keyboard cramp, but if you need a full service computer for a briefcase or handbag, this guy is it. Even the built in web-cam works flawlessly. I decided on the glossy-black unit but be warned it’s a fingerprint magnet. As for the screen, expect to squint a bit when reading small text- but hey it’s the size that matters…

Review by Dale Bishop (BALTIMORE, MD UNITED STATES) 2010-02-06 " This was the second time I bought an Acer product. I want to let them know that I am not an expert in technology, only to be a frequent user. The Netbook Acer One is very easy to use. The screen is slightly smaller than me, but I'm used to the habit. I was with this machine constantl... " | |
