User Reviews about Acer Aspire One AOA150-1635 8.9-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - 2.5 Hour Battery Life

This was my first purchase with Amazon. Com and I am very pleased with the service. Timely delivery. My Acer netbook is all that it promised. It was all set up when I took it out of the box! What a bonus. Fair price, I couldn't ask for more. -- Pleased with purchase

The Acer aspire one is a great little computer. pro's it the size of a book and very light weight, It works well with Linux and Windows, I love the built in web cam. and the wireless works well; but only on windows it does not work with Linux. cons it gets hot pretty fast and the battery only last about an hour and a half, and the keyboard is great for smaller fingers (good for me, not my husband). I really love this laptop and recommend this for anyone who travels. I also recommend buying an external portable DVD player. It plays movies very well even from a USB stick. -- Acer apireone pink

I bought this for my significant other for her birthday last year, and I have to say that the Acer Aspire One netbook was one of the best gift purchases I've ever made. It's also one of the most used. I love getting up on weekends and seeing her using the little pink netbook that could (and does) while sipping on her morning coffee.

From a hardware perspective, the Aspire One is more than capable for most normal uses. The 1.6Ghz Atom CPU isn't going to win any speed contests at this point, but it is fast enough for most uses. If you just want the netbook to surf the net, edit the occasional document and check e-mail, then it's more than fast enough. You do get some stuttering when it comes to video, largely because of an underpowered graphics processing unit (in this case an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, which doesn't do a very good job of accelerating), but with a screen of this side, video watching isn't going to be one of the better uses anyways.

This model comes with a hard drive and not one of the new solid-state drives. While this sacrifices speed and durability, the extra storage space (160GB) is worth the trade-off in my opinion. That's more than enough space for a computer that's going to be used mostly as a web terminal. You won't need all that storage for movies and games (although it does actually play some older games relatively well).

The build quality is also very good and all the expected features are here. The built-in WiFi has worked without a hitch, there are two card-reader slots available to you and there are three USB ports, more than enough room to expand. The screen is top-notch, despite its size, and the video quality is vibrant and colorful. The keyboard is good, although the touch pad can be finnicky thanks to the right edge of it performing as a scrollwheel would. I use a wireless mouse whenever I use it for any length of time, but she gets along with the touchpad almost exclusively. I probably just have fat fingers...

Basically the Acer Aspire One AOA150 is a functional and durable netbook that's been serving double duty for my significant other and myself for over a year now. It hasn't missed a beat and I'd recommend it. The pink model makes a particularly good gift for special someones... -- One of the best gifts I've ever bought...

i was a little worried when i ordered the acer b/c i had not heard much about it and wasn't sure if it was going to be too small. now, i absolutely love it. a normal size laptop would have been too big for me. i use it for work with windows and the internet. i can throw it in my purse b/c it is small and lightweight. The only downfall you can't put disks in and having a hard time located my key # for the windows trial offer it came with. -- fun toy
