Score 8.0/10+ Mobility aspect & hard drive size
- Battery life & lack of lid latch

Score 6.0/10+ Reviewer left no comment
- Because of the Linux operating system, I cannot use my 3G usb modem with it when I am away from home. I was not made aware of this when buying it, so I therefore have a very expensive paperweight!!!!!

Sam, Belfast , “Sam from Belfast”
Score 9.0/10+ Overall design, size, weight and performance. The wireless LAN card picks up my wireless network in parts of my house that my laptop doesn't
- Pity there was no option to have a RAM upgrade to 1.5GB. Also options for 6 or 9 cell battery would have been useful.

Babs, Solihull , “Often on the move” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Very cheap, very light and very usable for everyday tasks.
- Default battery doesn't last too long (about 2.5 hours) but I got a larger capacity (7200mAh) battery which is great at 6.5 hours!

I purchased this produce to carry on overseas holidays. It carries really easily and does not add much bulk to my hand luggage. It performs well with my holiday internet WiFi services enabling me to keep in email contact and Skype contact, making for cheap or free phone calls from abroard.
I can see my photographs at a reasonable size on the day they are taken and store them off camera.
It does just what I wanted it to do.
- I don't think I would like to use this as my primary computer. Not that I have found fault with the produict, just that I much prefer using a larger computer for prolonged tasks.

Score 10.0/10+ It's very light, so you can bring it anywhere you like. It is complete with Wifi to surf wirelessly at public places which provides internet service. I love the sleek mocha brown color. It's so cute!! I simply love it.

The preinstalled linux is boring coz you can't install program.
No desktop place for wallpaper.
No CD-Rom makes it harder to install anything.

Score 10.0/10+ Excellent all round netbook, very robust and manufactured to a high quality. Can't fault it on any level.
- The touch pad could be a little bit bigger but that is personal preference only and as it was always intended to use with an external mouse this is just an observation really.

Score 9.0/10+ Small and light - very good battery life
- None

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Scientific: lab work laptop”
Score 9.0/10+ Extremely portable - I can carry it around in my handbag with power cable. The battery life is pretty good, and for a netbook it is pretty fast. I was also impressed with the hard disc size, and that fact that it can run windows xp, office and a lot of other programmes that I need for work with no reduction in performance.
- In order to get the best out of the battery I did have to install a seperate piece of freeware that allows greater control over the behaviour of the fan. But this is not a particularly big deal.

Niamh, Liverpool
Score 9.0/10+ Ideal product for my daughter, 9, and her mother, >21. Not looking for anything too fancy and complicated. The XP build ceratinly suited our needs better than the Linux option
- Due to size constraint, the screen, but thats being picky

Score 10.0/10+ Small & compact, wireless, lightweight, and a nice looking design
- Bty life

Sharron, Plymouth , “Working mum of two.”
Score 9.0/10+ Immediately available, ideal for both work and home related needs. Linux operating system with Open Office is great as it's interchangeable with systems in both locations. The PC itself is fab. Small, compact and pink (which means my son's won't play with it!)
- None really. Just a couple of "It would be nice if's...". It could come with a carry case, that would protect it. I'm using the fabric packaging until my birthday!! Would be nice if it came with the most up-to-date Open Office which includes databases.

Manufacturer's Description
Acer redefines mobile connectivity with Aspire one, the revolutionary netbook packed with fun and powerful computing features in a diminutive 8.9" form factor.
SmartStart in just 15 seconds
From the moment you switch it on, the Aspire one is ready to go in just 15 seconds (with Linpus™ Linux® Lite version). That’s what we call a smart start. Once on, the interface is pure simplicity: a home screen divided into four areas that contain all the applications you need to stay connected, work, play, and organize your life on the road. And as your Aspire one is as unique as the way you use it, you can customize the applications on the home screen so that it’s just right for you. Fast, simple and indescribably chic. That’s your new life with the Aspire one.
Vision: One idea
How big is perfection? How small is ideal?
The Aspire one has an 8.9” CrystalBrite LED backlit LCD with 1024×600 resolution and an integrated CrystalEye™ webcam that offers just the right balance between easy-toread clarity and easy-to-use functionality. You could almost call it the perfect fit.
Power: One energy
Power comes in many forms. Often the smallest is the most powerful. The Aspire one comes with the Intel® Atom™ processor, built with the world’s smallest transistors and designed specifically for low power consumption while delivering the power and performance you need for full online freedom.
Style: One look
Your style is your signature. It is your identity, your personality your calling card. Your style tells the world who you are and how you live your life, both online and off. It is all you need to be yourself. Your style comes in different colours, each with its own individual character. So does the Aspire one.
Feeling: One freedom
Smaller than an average diary and weighing less than 1 kilo (models with NAND flash module), the Aspire one puts freedom in the palm of your hands. Freedom to use WiFi, WiMAX and 3G Networks* to explore new ways to connect, communicate and interact with the world you care about. Freedom to go beyond ultra-mobility. Freedom to be yourself anywhere you want to.
(* depending on network readiness)
Experience: One control
The Aspire one has one of the most intuitive interfaces out there that takes just seconds to learn, and smart software that keeps you productive, entertained and connected all the time. Why? Because your online world is a very personal place that changes every time you connect but remains familiar because it’s a world you create. One interface, a whole world to discover. Why do it any differently?
