My little travel companion 12/05/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Small, neat, fast, nice looking, inbuilt webcam and wifi
Disadvantages pathetic battery life

Acer Aspire One A150 Netbook, Windows XP Home, 8.9-inch Crystalbrite TFT LCD, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel Atom Processor N270 1.60 Ghz (Blue) I WANT A SMALLER LAPTOP SO>>> With my latest Dooyoo Amazon vouchers plus some others from various review sites I decided that I would treat myself to a mini net book laptop for when we are travelling. My lovely hp laptop is great but it is still quite heavy so I looked around for a long time reading various reviews trying to make up my mind which to go for. Despite my neighbor trying to convince me how easy it was to use Linux I decided I’d ignore him and ... more

Acer plays the Ace card again! 02/12/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Small, lightweight, great performer. Can handle some 3D games.
Disadvantages None for the Netbook, but Linux version is rubbish.

Johnny Cochran was duck hunting in Montana recently, when he attempted to cross a fence into a field to retrieve a duck he had shot. A farmer suddenly pulled up in his pick-up truck, jumped out, and asked Mr.Cochran what he was doing on his property. "Retrieving this duck that I just shot", he replied. "That duck is on my side of the fence, so now it's mine," replied the farmer. Mr.. Cochran asked the farmer if he recognized who he was talking to "No", replied the farmer, "I don't know, and I don't care." "I am Johnny Cochran, famous lawyer from Los Angeles", came the reply. "I am the lawyer ... more

Great value if you can stand the niggles. 23/03/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Great value for money; nice keyboard for the size.
Disadvantages Short battery life, no built-in 3G, unconventional mousepad layout.

This is Acer's entry into the netbook arena and mostly it's a pretty good machine. You get the same Atom CPU as is in most of the other leading contenders, a 1024x600 9-inch screen, 1GB RAM, 160GB Hard drive, 3USB ports and a webcam. This is all for a price a bit less than the competition, although there are a few issues of ergonomics with the machine that you'd want to look at first. Netbooks generally aren't going to have the same power as laptop and desktop machines, even those that are a few years old. Don't be fooled by the clock speed of the Atom; it's a much simpler processor and ... more

Good, Cheap Notebook 12/11/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, good battery life, Wi-Fi, Lightweight
Disadvantages No Bluetooth

The Acer Aspire One model is a notebook I recently bought from PC world, it was on offer for £199. I needed a cheap notebook to carry out simple tasks such as using MS office and run some simple accounts software. I also wanted Wi-Fi to access the internet via my home PC router, so this notebook seemed ideal for what I was looking for. The notebook itself comes with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition O/S. It has WiFi, Fast Ethernet, and an ultra compact 8.9" WSVGA TFT Screen for crystal clear viewing. The Acer Aspire One A150 has an Intel Atom N270 Processor that runs at 1.6GHz for professional ... more

Great little piece of kit for good money. 06/04/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap Powerfull machine
Disadvantages No Optical drive

I have had my Acer Aspire One for about 3 months and it has never failed me. I will review everything that should be considered before buying. Speed: Well this depends on the model you are going to buy, I own the Linux version with 1GB of ram, which is probably the fastest AAO you are going to get, it really does fly. Because Linux uses very little prossesing it means that all of the application will run with little effort. The ram is upgradeable to 1.5GB and I cannot even start to think how fast it would be with that. Memory: Memory is a very personal thing, for example I have the 120GB HD ... more

Acer Aspire One = Number 1! 05/11/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Small, light, comparativley powerful
Disadvantages No external DVD drive provided. Protective sleeve

I purchased this laptop for my wife to do do her training work on, also she didn't want to carry my luggable! We went for the 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD Linux model in Blue for about £250. Out of the box its a good looking machine, the glossy blue finish is nice, but instantly prone to fingerprint marks. It feels well built and durable. I comes with what some would call a protective sleeve, in a way it does protect but really all it protects is from dirt, it wouldn't protect it from any knocks or drops. The Linux Operating System is in my opinion VERY basic and highly kneecapped compared to what Linux ... more

One sexy Net Book!! 07/02/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Small for travelling, Fast, Stylish, Great Battery, Webcam Built in.
Disadvantages No Cd Drive:(

Hello everyone and welcome to this review. Well... Unfortunately my old HP laptop had reached the end of its life; it was time to get a new one. Im surprised that it lasted as long as it did considering the amount of times I drop my laptops. After researching on the web for a while I got a bit confused, there were so many laptops available and there were many good and bad reviews on each, I really did not know what to think. So, a trip to Comet was in order, I just wanted to pick one that looked nice and had okay features. If it was bad I always had the 28 day Comet return policy available ... more

The best value netbook? yes! 25/06/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Price, performance, choice of colours
Disadvantages sound

Sure, it might not smack you in the face and say 'look at me, i'm shiny!' but the acer aspire one has got to be the most reliable, sturdy and best value netbooks around. Starting of, as i usually do, with a summary of the style of the product, the acer aspire one won't win any beauty paegents, but it is functional in it's design. Sure, i'm not a fan of the whole gap-between-screen-and-hinge look, but it works. The netbook has no real standout design features, but it isn't the ugliest netbook around (step in the advent netbooks please). The aspire ones saving grace is the ability to buy it in ... more

Aspire one Small But Mighty 25/01/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Ease Of Use, Size, Out Of Box compatible, Good looking
Disadvantages Awkward Touchpad, Poor Battery

I bought this version of the acer aspire one before christmas 2008. Since I bought mine my mother brother and next door neighbour have all been so impressed that they to have purchased the exact same machine. My machine came pre installed with Linpus lite (lunix) which is a little strange if your used to windows in any form. From getting the machine out of the box i was online within 5 mins. It was so simple. The 1st thing you will need to do once you get connected is to goto the settings menu and click the live update. This gets all the up to date bits and bobs the aspire one needs to be upto ... more

A super Netbook... you will love the deal 23/03/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages very portable and sleek
Disadvantages Might not be very durable. You will miss a dvd player :(

Okay ! This baby has an integrated web cam over the top of the screen. Acer Aspire one is just what we were waiting for. It is a handy net book; women can even place it in their handbag. Men however have to use the portable bag that comes along. Here are some of its features: Intel Atom processor inside 8.9 inch screen (1024x600) RAM 1GB/160GB/XP/6-Cell Battery (3 hours ... wow) Price: 265 GBP 2.3 lbs (Light ... right) This Net book has speakers and all other device outlets that are needed, but still you miss the DVD/CD drive. Well it is a net book after all. You can separately use a DVD ... more
