 love my Acer August 28, 2009

This is my second unit...first one was stolen so I immediately replaced with same model. Small, easy to carry, works very well.
Very Good August 26, 2009

Does everything I bought it for - it's an easy to use, small, fast, very lightweight computer than i can use in class or in meetings without having a huge laptop screen block out my vision.
Very satisfied with this product.

I received this as wonderful Christmas gift! Lucky me! I am very happy with it. It boots really fast & is so conviently sized! I love being able to grab it and go. I got the saphire blue with the 6 cell battery, 1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB Ram, 160 GB hard drive. This little cutie blows my old laptop away!
My biggest peeves are the size of the keyboard, I have to adjust to the smaller size & in the meantime, hit the wrong keys a lot. When I then go home to my desk top, I hit the wrong keys on the bigger keyboard. Back and forth I go! Not the end of the world, but frustrating. I guess it keeps the noggin healthy! Another peeve is the lack of a CD/DVD drive. Very inconvient. My husband got me an external one & that solved my problems like a charm! The external is a breeze to hook up & has worked out very well. My last peeve is the anti-virus is only a month. Or was it 3? Anyway, that sucks. It would have been nice to have at the very least 6 months.
Overall I am absolutely thrilled with my little lap-top & would totally get another one! I tell others that they are worth having, but some people don't think they would like something so little. I'm little, I'm girly, I like cute little girly things that work well & are easy to use. I love my acer Aspire One!
Instead of another Pocket PC, I got a Netbook August 24, 2009

After my Pocket PC couldn't be taken off of life support (aka the battery wouldn't take a charge anymore, and I couldn't find a replacement battery for it again.) I decided to get a Netbook instead. All the functions of a Pocket PC with a boat load more. Easy to set up, simple to use, and so lightweight, it fits into my shoulder bag, and small leather back pack. With a mobile wireless it becomes a great portable way to stay connected.
With the SD and expansion slots, it has become my mobile photo lab. Take photographs, review, edit, adjust and upload without having to wait until you come home.
Can play DVD quality AVI files. The screen is a bit reflective out of doors, but a protective screen cover (something I heartily recommend getting) will cut that problem down.
Took a while to get accustomed to the smaller keyboard layout, but that was not a big problem.
My only issue with this was you have to take it into a computer shop to have the memory maxed out. The design for expanding the memory wasn't well planned out, and an access panel should have been designed into the underside of the netbook.
I also recommend getting the 6 or 9 cell battery to make it well and truly a 'daily use' portable, as one of the many complaints of notebook and netbook users is 3 hr battery life.
Excellent NetBook Performs Better Than Expected August 20, 2009

I got the Acer Netbook primarily so I wouldn't have to carry around my large laptop when all I needed to do was check my email or browse the Internet. I didn't really expect much considering the size and price of the Netbook. However, my expectations have been exceeded. Instead of a long review, I will just list my thoughts about the Pros and Cons for you.
Pros
-Price is reasonable
-Unit is small enough to carry anywhere comfortably
-Keyboard is decent size, not hard to use
-Built-In wireless makes connecting at Hot Spots a cinch
-Large Hard Drive to hold plenty of data
-USB port so you can use a thumb-drive for storage as well
-USB port can also be used for wireless device such as AT&T Wireless Connect
-If computer is ever lost or stolen, you are out only a few hundred instead of several hundred to thousands
Cons
- Battery life is not very long
- Keyboard is smaller than average
- Screen is a lot smaller than you may be used to
- Not meant to be powerful so don't expect to run Photoshop or Huge games smoothly!
- Lifespan probably won't be as long as a normal computer
These are my observations after using the unit now for quite a few months.
I found the unit to be more than I expected, thus I am a happy customer.
However, if you are expecting a powerful little laptop that does everything well, I'd suggest looking elsewhere...
