User Reviews about Acer Aspire One AOA150-1447 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor - 1 GB RAM - 160 GB Hard Drive - XP Home - 6 Cell Battery) Sapphire Blue
Back then, laptop computers weighed thirty pounds. Let's see you sissy boys on your high fructose corn syrup diets try doing that without wearing Circulation Leg Wraps. Remember the Kaypro II? Looked like a prop from War Games. And like much early 1980s technology, its functionality seems almost Stone Aged now. The monitor displayed only one color (fluorescent green!). For that plus two giant floppy drives and 64K of RAM (and NO hard drive at all), my family paid almost five times what the Aspire One cost me in 2008.
I've learned my lesson: Next time I want a computer, I'll just wait twenty-five years to buy it!!!
Lest you think this review is a joke à la Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz or even Ice Hockey Puck 6 oz, let me just reiterate how pleased I am with the Aspire One which I really do own and in fact on which I am typing this review. It is durable, functional, and a great value. It also looks fantastic (in White). I still get tons of compliments, almost two years after buying it.
Built-in camera, built-in wireless card, 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB RAM, 1.60 Ghz Intel Atom chip, still over 4 hours of battery life (battery wear is 16.4% as per BatteryBar), Windows XP, multiple USB ports and card readers, and a nice widescreen display. All in all, a perfect mobile computing solution for only four hundred bucks. Wish I had the DeLorean to get back to 1983.

Note that I am reviewing a used netbook. The Acer is very sharp looking. The blue is beautiful. If blue is your fav color, go for the Sapphire Blue! The screen is excellent with brilliant colors and very sharp resolution. Fast for a netbook. Very responsive. Six cell battery gives plenty of time--over 6 hours on a single charge. The only problem I am having is with a broadband stick. Not sure at this time why the netbook won't accept it--other netbooks are. Otherwise, this would be a 5 star review. -- Very sharp! Just one problem...
I bought this computer primarily to use at school for taking notes and writing papers, but I have been using it for pretty much everything since I got it. It's faster than I expected (faster than my expensive Piece of C*** HP tablet), but then one of the first things I did when I bought this computer was delete all the unnecessary bloatware. It's light enough that when I drop it in my backpack I don't really notice it, and the battery lasts a good 5 hours, sometimes more, which is astonishing since it's adveritised as good for 2.5. The keyboard was a little strange at first, but now that I'm used to it, my typing has become much faster and more accurate on it's smaller keys. I bought the copper brown, which is a nice, understated but interesting brown (it's almost the color of cola, or coffee with a sheen). My only real complaint is that the speakers are underneath the front bottom edge of the computer, so if you are using it as a laptop the sound is muffled. Oh, and also the screen has a fairly large plastic border... I'm sure there's some mechanical reason for that, but other computers this size have smaller borders with larger screens, and thus are the same total size. I mean, I bought the 8.9 because I wanted a smaller computer, not a smaller screen.
All in all this is a great little computer. Fits perfectly on those tiny college desks with room to spare, hasn't crashed once in the month I've had it, and it's faster by virtue of XP rather than Vista (I imagine it'll be even faster once I dump XP entirely and load up Linux). Another interesting note, I was sitting near a girl with a new Eee PC a couple days ago, and we started up at the same time. By the time hers was loaded and ready, I was already knee deep in note-taking and had three other programs open and running. Why, why Acer, did you have to discontinue this terrific little laptop?? Even my SO, who's a bloodthirsty Mac user, likes this computer. -- Better than expected
