Acer Aspire One AOA110-1995 8.9-Inch Seashell White Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life Review
See more picture
When I first got this laptop, is was appalled at the setup time. Then, I was upset at how slow it ran. But, for some reason, ASUS decided to include a whole bunch of unnecessary junk. For instance, they included DVD player software, for a laptop that has no optical drive. Now, I know that they are paid by the software developers to include versions of software on their computers, but this case is a little bit excessive. So, I installed Ubutnu from a USB thumb drive (you can pick these up for next to nothing, and downloading Ubutnu is free and legal) and I finally had a laptop that preformed well enough to actually surf the web/edit text documents/etc. If you're interested, you can find instructions for installing Ubutnu at [...] *note:these instructions are probably not for beginning users. if you are somewhat familiar with Windows, and you have another computer to follow along with or you can print the instructions out, you should be fine. If you are not all that comfortable with computers, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS as you can cause your laptop to stop working, in which case you would have to pay a computer repair tech to fix the problems.

Other features include 1 GB of installed RAM (1.5 GB maximum), 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), multi-format memory card reader, multiple USB ports, and built-in email, web browsing, and digital media applications. p It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop. pbProcessor/bbr The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 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). pbStorage/bbr This version of the Aspire One comes with 8 GB of NAND flash memory solid-state drive (SSD), which is adequate for students and those who want to use the laptop primarily as an email and web surfing device. Faster and more reliable, flash memory provides a rapid boot-up and quicker access to applications while improving battery life. Flash memory is also more reliable than hard disk memory, mainly because there are no moving parts. Since data is written to stationary flash memory instead of a spinning hard disk, you have less risk of hardware problems with the hard disk when you're on the move. It's an ideal feature for a travel notebook where knocks and sudden movements are par for the course. p In addition, this Aspire One comes with an 8 GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory card--great for storing digital media. The Asprire One has one dedicated SD memory card slot for the included SDHC card as well as a second multi-in-one card reader that's compatible with five different types of memory cards--Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card--for maximum flexibility. The additional SD card slot seamlessly integrates with the internal NAND flash module as an added storage device. The ability to have both a multi-in-1 card reader and a SD card reader at the same time allows you to download photos from the multi-in-1 to share with others and store to the SD card as an internal storage device simultaneously. pbMemory/bbr The 1 GB of installed RAM (512 MB onboard memory and one 512 MB DIMM, 533 MHz) can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM, pbDVD/CD Drive/bbr Because of its size, the Aspire One does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more. pbConnectivity/bbr This Acer Aspire One notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. This notebook provides the following connections: ulli3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players liSecure Digital (SD) card reader, also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMCs) liMulti-in-one card reader supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO, and XD Picture Cards li1 VGA monitor port li1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack liRJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection li56K modem port (V.90) /ulpbScreen, Video and Audio/bbr The 8.9-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. p This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers. pbWhat's in the Box/bbr This package contains the Acer Aspire One notebook PC (AOA110-1995; LU.S040B.235), rechargeable 3-cell lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions. It is backed by a limited warranty for parts and labor for one year from date of purchase.

Pretty bad experience - Guy Farber - San Francisco, CA
I had pretty low expectations but using this netbook was much worse than I thought. The main issue here is the system keeps stalling and cannot present even simple Youtube videos without getting stuck constantly. Even remove all memory resident apps, including anti-virus and using the Google Chrome didn't get it to reasonable working condition. Also the keyboard and touch pad are the worst I have ever seen.br /br /Stay away. Spend 100$ more for a real low-end laptop and you won't regret it.
