Small Package, BIG Performance Feb 07, 2010
So, you're hesitant to get a netbook because it's kinda tiny & therefore must be slow, weak & hard to read? Those were my initial thoughts on NETbooks when I first began looking into the possibility of buying one.
The iNTEL Atom N280 packs more punch than I had expected, and I've been building desktop systems for over 12 years. Sure, it's no dual core processor, but it impressive nonetheless.
I got the Acer, based on price, hard drive size and the N280 processor. I got the netbook primarily to use at several locations around town featuring free WiFi access. Since I have dial-up at home,it's occasionally advantageous to have something portable to hook up to faster service.
So what happens when you go on-line with the netbook? I was amazed at the amount of work I could throw at it before the system bogged down. I routinely open up a streaming audio link to an out-of-town radio station, then open up another browser tab (Firefox) to download new software, digital images, or whatever. While waiting for the bigger downloads, I log into my webmail and check for new messages. It may be pushing it to go ot to open up that Powerpoint presentation or Excel spreadsheet while running the other 3 tabs, but withing its' limits, you can easily open multiple browser tabs without drastically affecting performance. Keep in mind that in the Maximum power saver setting you can expect the processor to function at reduced speed.
9 Hours of battery runtime?? Sure you can, if you use the battery saver power setting, but I find that on the Laptop setting, I can still squeeze out an easy 5+ hours of run time.
The screen is tiny, upon first glance, but is easily readable, and even at an outdoor cafe, it isn't necessary to use maximum brightness in order to see clearly.
The ACER comes with 1 GB memory, and I simply grabbed one of the two 2GB's outta my laptop and swapped. Laptop's good with 3GB, and the netbook works better with 2GB. To wish for larger memory capoacity in a netbook would be nice, but most of them now on the market seem to have a max of 2GB.
Windows XP vs Windows 7? I prefer XP, since it takes up less hard drive space, and does everything I want it to. Win 7 is good for a laptop or desktop, but, IMO, not a real advantage in a netbook, and certainly worth paying more for - even if all your friends have it ...
No CD/DVD player, !! Hey, it's a netbook - go buy an external CD/DVD. If you plan on loading up your favorite software, you'll need this handy option. And you really didn't buy it to watch your DVD rentals on, did you?
The SD slot has proven to be useful, especially for downloading stuff to transfer to my desktop PC, or laptop.
Would I buy it again if I had the chance for a do-over? You Bet! Most of the netbooks have similar characteristics, and, for the price paid, this ACER has exactly what I need. You can pay more for some of the other brands and models, but you won't get anything any better.
I gave it a 5/5 star rating, since, as a Netbook, it does exactly what it is intender to do, and more. It runs my printer just fine, and the scanner, too.
fantastic Feb 04, 2010
For a first time netbook user this one was perfect. The set up was easy and simple. The webcam works great!!! and the battery life is fantastic! i was really happy with this tiny little computer, perfect for school and to take on the go

Good Buy Jan 09, 2010
So after much searching and thinking, I ended up choosing the Acer Aspire and I'm very impressed. The battery life, weight, size and performance get 5/5, for me at least.
For someone who just wants a netbook to be online and get things done, I would recommend this one.
