 good product December 1, 2008
worked out of the box. Fast and easy to use.
Linux is hard to learn but there is a user group forum that helps a lot.
Unit is quiet and fast. Video doesn't play well with the mplayer supplied though.
I Like My Acer Aspire One... November 26, 2008
This is a good little laptop for someone who needs a super portable computer. Though the on board OS (Linpus Linux Lite) is fairly straightforward, don't expect it to perform miracles. I intend to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix ASAP (larger community, more apps).
If I would have had a little more money, I probably would have bought an MSI Wind. Having said that, I do not regret buying this thing at all.
nice hardware, medium software November 25, 2008
I bought the aspire one with linpus and 8 Gb solid drive.
The Computer works properly. Internet, office, email is ok.
What I do not like:
1) The Antenna of wireless is weak, often I do not get stable contact.
2) The software linpus is very uncommon. I did not succeed installing any other new linux - software except of skype.

In one word ... FANTASTIC! The Acer suits my needs perfectly. Easy to carry, set up and operate - it only takes a little getting used to (like any new toy!). But once you get the hang of it - you can't stop. Everyday is a pleasant revelation. So far, I have no regrets.
 Junk times 2 November 20, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The first Aspire One lasted maybe two hours - defective charger wouldn't charge battery.
The second Aspire One I purchased about a week after I returned the first. I thought perhaps I just got a lemon and would give them another try. Bad idea.
The battery does not last the estimated 2.5 hours, it's more like 1.5 hours.
At the moment it will not start up. XP issued the "Hibernate" message and shutdown before I could connect the charger. The battery is now fully charged, but it won't restart - does nothing more than light up the power button. No response when pressing "caps lock", "num lock" keys.
Currently I am waiting on tech support to respond to my plea for help. I've tried removing/reinstalling the battery, CTRL+ALT+DEL, running on AC power only, voodoo dolls.... nothing seems to revive it.
This second Aspire One is three weeks old. Two purchases, two junkers.
