Acer AOD250-1584 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)br /I really love this netbook. There were 3 features I was looking for in a netbook. br /Feature one: 9 hour battery lifebr /Feature two: 250GB Hard drivebr /Feature Three: Bluetoothbr /My mom had purchased a Hewlett Packard 1030NR netbook with a 16GB flash drive, 1GB RAM, no Bluetooth, and a 3 hour battery. This netbook is ok for just office documents but I wanted more. I was replacing my old laptop computer so I wanted a netbook with a lot more horse power. I wanted a fully feature netbook at a reasonable price when I look at Hewlett Packard they wanted around 0.00. That was just outside of my budget than I saw the Acer AOD250-1584 it had all of the features I wanted and I just ordered a 2GB RAM upgrade because I do a lot of photography and the 250GB hard drive helps. When I was working as an Electrical Engineer money was not a problem but I am in a tight economy so I went with the Acer. Although netbooks do not come with a DVD drive it was not that important when doing photography and video I use 8GB to 32GB SDHC cards instead of a DVD drive. I can still watch movies from my 32GB SDHC cards when traveling on a train or plane. On my desktop I take DVD movies and dump them to a 32GB SDHC cards for my netbook.br /The LED back light screen is very even in sunlight. The keyboard is small for my big hands but I adjusted to it. When I install MS Office and other programs I took it out for a Wi-Fi test drive at McDonalds, Starbucks, Culvers, and a local coffee shop it works great. I sent out some resumes and cover letters on my email and other employers wanted them faxed so I used my cell phone to fax out my resumes and cover letters. Then I got conformation faxes sent out but the cell phone gets very hot when sending out faxes on it. I did this using the fax program on Windows 7. I have not used the Bluetooth yet I had a spare MS wireless mini mouse I had. I will get a Bluetooth mouse soon because this will free up one of my USB ports.br /Then I realized Windows 7 has a VPN Client so I tried login on to my VPN router it would not login then I realized it's a very old VPN Linksys router BEFVP41 vintage year 2002. The Linksys firmware is simply too old for Windows 7 but it works great with Windows XP Pro. I will be upgrading this router soon with a Linksys RV016 VPN router. Then I know I will be able to login to my VPN network with Windows 7. VPN networking is very important to me. When I am out in the field far away from home I like to send my photographs directly to my network drive on my home network and some printing at home too. I have VPN networking with other relatives so I can send out hour long videos of birthday parties directly to other relative's computers in complete privacy.br /All in all after using the Acer AOD250-1584 netbook for just over a month yes I would still bye this netbook. I would suggest going with the 2GB memory upgrade right away. When you are doing serious work that extra memory helps. There is a 9 cell battery available for this netbook will be looking into this a 15 hour battery sound great in natural disaster with no electricity. br /Thank youbr /Philliegbr /

I love this little notebook. It fits practically anywhere. If you are looking for a high processing laptop this is not for you. My one complaint is the screen resolution when viewing webpages but overall its a great little notebook.
