So, feel free to get a netbook, because it is a bit small, and therefore slow, weak and difficult to read? These are my first thoughts on netbooks I started to think about buying one.
The Intel Atom N280 packs more pressure than I thought and I'm building desktop systems for more than 12 years. Of course this is not a dual-core processor, but still impressive.
I had the Acer, based on the price, size of hard disk and processor N280. INetbook primarily for use in multiple locations around the city with free wireless access. Since I have dial-up at home, it is sometimes advantageous to combine a little laptop to a faster service to have.
So what happens when you go online with the Netbook? I was on the amount of work I was surprised to throw in before the system is deadlocked. I used to have a link to stream audio to open a breach of the Radio City, then open another browser tab (Firefox) toDownload new software, digital images, or whatever. While waiting for other downloads, I close my webmail and check for new messages. It can run the push-to-go OT on the PowerPoint presentation or Excel, if the 3 other tabs are open, but in its "borders, you can easily open multiple browser tabs without the performance dramatically. Note that in the Energy Saver setting maximum you can expect that the processor to run at reduced speed.
<br/> 9 hours battery life? Of course you can if you saver setting the performance of the battery, used but I think on the development laptop, I can always squeeze 5 + hour operation simple.
The screen is small, but at first glance, easily readable, even in an outdoor cafe, it is not necessary to use maximum brightness to see clearly.
The Acer comes with 1 GB memory, and I just tapped one of the two 2GB out of my laptop and vice versa. Laptop is good with 3 GBand the netbook works better with 2GB. Capoacity Want more memory in a netbook would be nice, but most of them now appear on the market have a maximum of 2 GB
Windows XP vs. Windows 7? I prefer XP because it needs less memory and does everything I want. Windows 7 is good for a laptop or desktop, but, IMO, not a real advantage in a netbook, certainly worth more – even if all your friends who have …
No CD / DVD! Hey, this is aNetbook – go buy an external CD / DVD. If you want to load your favorite software, you must need this very convenient. And you really do not buy it to see your DVD rentals, is not it?
The SD slot has been useful, particularly to fill load download to my desktop or laptop.
Would I buy it again if I had the chance to Make-Over? You bet! Most Netbooks have similar properties and have paid the price, this is exactly what I ACER. Need You can pay more for some other brands and models, but you get nothing better.
I give it a 5.5 star star, because, as a Netbook, it means exactly what to do to obtain it, and wants more. It works very well my printer and scanner as well.

This 1.66 GHz Atom N280 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
