Acer Aspire One A150-B 1GB 160GB Reviews: Windows XP Home 8.9" Screen Laptop computer

+ Excellent, powers up quickly is easy to use with a good keyboard, simple and effective does what I wanted it to do. Very light and portable, a usefull tool if you are on the move a lot.

- Battery life isn't great, buying a bigger battery will improve this a lot

+ Excellent for checking emails etc on the move.

- Battery life is a little disappointing if you want to use Office etc to do work on the move.

+ Lightweight, portable, everything in one small package.

- Cannot handle anti virus programme such as Mcafee without slowing it down tremendously.
Have to remove keyboard, motherboard, etc just to add another memory chip instead of just opening up the bottom part and slipping it in.

+ Its fab

- touchpad badly designed

+ it was bought for surfing & email. perfect for that !

- haven't checked the battery life yes, as it has always been plugged in.

+ extremely portable with good connection facilities and a good screen

- battery life could be better and case shows to many finger marks

+ I bought the HD/WinXP version rather than the Flash/Linux one purely to use the same software on other machines. I've put Office 2007 on and it plenty powerful enough for that. The embedded WiFi is great and enables connectivity round the house. Also linkingup to my mobile for roaming internet was easy. Having a nearly full size keyboard is great. Although not really suitable for all day use it is certainly much better trying to do emails while travelling on a Blackberry.

- No real bad points but you must bear in mind that the reduced size of the machine means a likewise reduction in battery size and hence gives you about 21/2 hours use. But if you want longer you have to have a bigger laptop and miss out on the benefits of this small machine. Although I was able to borrow a usb CDROM drive to load Office and mobile phone drivers, not having a drive may put off some buyers. For me I've now loaded what I need and that's that - easy, light weight and highly mobile connectivity.

+ Its small and reliable to carry everywhere

- Nothing

+ Size and weight, good size keyboard

- Sometimes would like a larger screen

+ Small, lightweight, fast and with the exception of a DVD drive every bit as good as any other laptop I've owned. It's very portable and quickly connects with wireless networks whilst on the move. Having owned a laptop which makes internet connection easy but is big to carry around and an IPod Touch which is light but difficult to use the very small screen, the AcerOne is the perfect compromise for people on the move.

- I miss a dvd drive but usb sticks and external drives make up for this. The smaller screen takes a little getting used to but that's my age and eyesight. Overall, no real bad points

+ Size and portability is awesome !

- Windows and Battery dont seem to mix very well !

+ As a computer novice it couldn't have been easier to set up. It was purchased purely for internet use and does the job it was intended to do perfectly, the speed is excellent and much faster than my home desk top.

- To type in @ you have to press " and Vice versa.

+ Small and light. fits in my handbag. Ideal for taking overseas in hand luggage.

+ small lightweight, easy to use, cute and the perfect travelling companion. Bought mainly to use store pictures when travelling. Like the built in digital card readers, so no need to take camera lead with me. Bough the sapphire blue one which is really a beautiful colour. Screen quality is excellent for watching films in High Definition. HDD capacity is really good value.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ I'm really pleased with the size, it is compact ideal for travel, and a good memory size, I am yet to use it abroad, but am confident in its performance, to use on the go was the main reason I chose, it, and to download photos on the go. it appears to be all I wanted

- I haven't come across any at the moment

+ size

- none

+ very convienient, easy to carry around, good storage capacirty and clear screen. Keyboard is ok too

- Battery life is not amazing but thats to be expected, bigger batteries are available, could be a wise move.

+ Really lightweight and easy to use and set up

- Sometimes so small its hard to see the writing on the internet

+ This is an excellent machine. We bought it for my daughter to do homework and for her own web use, and returning my desktop to me! Not sure how much homework has been done but the WiFi networking was seamless giving it full access to the home network and the internet.

- Battery life is not great, but for the price it is a very minor issue.

+ looks good, small and compact, good for basic surfing, desktop games and word

- battery life is bit rubbish, approx 1 hour.

+ The Acer A150 N270 is perfect for me and is a fast little mini notebook. I tried many mini notebooks before buying this and this was a sure winner as it outstripped most of the others in speed, quality, ease of use. With 3 USB's and a good quality built in webcam, 5 in 1 card reader, 1GB memory and a whopping 160 GB HDD. I would recommend to to anyone looking for a good quality lightweight notebook.

Crystal clear and easy to read screen.
Very fast on start up.
Very powerful wifi connection..
3 fast usb ports..
Comes with very good pre installed software..
Also comes with a leather pouch to protect it..

- I cant think of any bad points

no dvd/cd player so have to download everything for it.

+ great little netbook. nice and handy to take around the house or when travelling. i use mine with a mobile broadband dongle. Perfect!

- battery life could be better, can always get a stronger battery.

+ I like the size of this product it is small and portable. You could call it handbag size. I talk to my family in Cyprus using webcamera and microphone. I love it.

- I had to purchase a micro size mouse to use as sometimes the touch pad can be very sensitive.

+ Lightweight, stylish design. Good feature having Windows XP pre-loaded

- Battery life is fairly short

+ It may be small but very easy to handle and the keyboard is good to use

+ Very handy machine and external disc drives are easily attached. Overall just what a netbook should be.

- Slight problems with delivery however Tesco were very quick to sort this out and rectify.

+ Light and good for internet use

- Screen too small for serious use. Office is only a trial and is extra cost to purchase. No OS disk to re-install if hard disk fails. Cannot see 160Gb harddisk of much use in a Netbook.

+ I bought this for my wife. She has only ever used a very basic computer at work and was somewhat afraid of having her own. She is thrilled with it. It's well-designed, small, light and easy to use. For the size it has an impressive specification.

- Battery life isn't brilliant but for what i use it for does the job.
