I wanted a netbook for almost a year but I was hesitant to get one because of the price, and in the early days, the tiny hard drives. I do not know for school or business need, I did it for fun, it was an expensive kind of leniency that difficult to justify.

I found it for under $ 300 and decided to go. I have not regretted it, for one day. In fact, I initially thought that the netbook would be right to get "from time to time to use" I love him soIt became my main computer, I use them for everything, and I take with me wherever I go any (in a mailer in my pocket). It is almost as powerful as, and almost as large as the hard drive of my computer's Ex-Principal (year 2 1 / 2 old Toshiba laptop).

Because the car is much more difficult, I could more programs that I am not the intention of the background work load on the netbook, and everything (without memory extension). I do not run all the games of high intensity, so Ican not say how they wanted, but I have a photo editing software, and Audacity (free recording software) with which I record for [...] (include volunteer public domain texts audio books are free online), and two of them work properly.

Type I to live, so would a wonky keyboard have led me crazy. This is a very nice keyboard company. I have no problem typing on at full speed.

The screen is very nice. As others have mentioned, it is bright enough, butI had no problem with the time, it is a problem at all when I am using the netbook in the full sun, but works by a simple change of the angle very well. The only problem I had with the screen resolution, because of its small, sometimes I run a dialog box pop-ups in a program or site that I do not see any n, but "there is no scroll bar. There is a slight inconvenience, but only happened a few times (and I use the netbook far, every day), and it has notBut all this is not really a problem caused … and I knew when I bought it it was – of course – have a small screen. This was the point of obtaining a netbook, its small size. (And it might be a workaround for this, I have not tried to know, because it was not a big problem).

The touchpad works well for me. The battery life is very good – when is fully charged, it was actually a little more than 4 hours of juice. I did some research, and I read thatsuffer this type of battery is not of this problem of loss of memory, to when you load it without first running clear, but it will load over time damage. So I have never connected from the Netbook, if I do not use it. I put it in charge when the battery is weak, and make sure I take it whenever I can to achievement of full power. It loads very quickly and so far the battery life was great. (I have about a month)

If something happensI replace them with an identical model in a heartbeat. I recommend to my friends. In fact one of my friends had one first, and she likes it, some of which convinced me that it is buying.

One last thing, and what led me to writing this review come out today. Last night I spilled a glass of rum and ginger ale just above the keyboard and the screen. I mean, I saturated the thing. "Panic does not cover. I immediately took theNetbook and spilled it out and pulled the battery, then let them sit on the head for a while to clean, and put them back together. I also open the night. I thought it was a damn, and he was really sorry, but today – everything works! A few keys are a bit sticky now, but it is hardly noticeable, and it is really the least of my worries. Of course I would not recommend a habit, drinks sessionsomewhere near it or to test this theory (which you bet! that I learned my lesson), but I was very impressed with its durability.

Overall – a great netbook cheap. I am very happy with him.

perfect, light, cheap – A. GINSBERG –
Before, I bought a netbook, and returned with a large manufacturer, and always hated slow. I like this netbook, cheap, works well and I pull the battery for 3 hours. The larger battery brings more weight and also in airports, I am never far from a recharge. It is easy to carry. I bought one for my sister.

Excellent product..love it – Bonnie Troino – Florida
I love my Acer … I do not have a little trouble with it at all …
I want everyone to know how big it is.
Bonnie Troino

Acer netbooks horrible products – Janice M. Lee – albuquerque, nm
I do not recommend any Acer anyone. I bought an Acer Aspire One Netbook AOD250 and stopped working after a few weeks and the headphones. If shipping to my own center to dispatch service. When I finally got back a month later, the touchpad does not work. Must be forwarded to the service center again. Acer will not be replaced or refunded, even if the product is a lemon.

Aspire= trying but missing the mark – Christopher Plummer – Baltimore, MD USA
I think it's a little truth in advertising that it has appointed Aspire netbook, because it critically behind the brand in two important areas. 1) The wireless modem is just terrible. I do not know what it is .. It's slow and unreal .. must continue to try to load a web page at a time .. I am is in the same room with my wireless modem and it still hangs .. When I put in the ground line in all right, it is not the computer .. is the wireless modem. 2) The speakers are a joke crazy. VolumeThis topic is so low that you must use headphones .. Why bother to debate? I do not understand how this can not be strong enough that you can watch a movie in an empty hotel room quietly .. But .. You get what you so I'm happy, in spite of these shortcomings .. pay estimate
