A Nice Little Machine!
- Pros: Builtin Webcam and mic that work with Skype
Great viewability of screen, even in sun
Easy-to use program browser/launcher
SMALL & Light!
~30 second startup time
Fast solid state drive (no moving parts!)
Fast internet browsing with Firefox and full flash support
Full version of OpenOffice installed
- Cons: Skype not installed by default (but readily installed through easy directions from the "Acer Guy" online)
Limited internal storage space (but does have internal SD dock for expansion)
Screen not full size
Touchpad keys are a little stiff, making them harder to use.
- Other Thoughts: The "Acer Guy" is a great resource for non-linux folks to open up the "advanced" settings in this device.
For the Linux gurus:
Xfce is the desktop manager used.
This Linux distro has a decent repository (skype, octave, dev tools, games, wine, web server daemons, etc), but no kernel tools are available (the kernel seems to be fine tuned, making modules pretty hard to load). Updates also seem a little slow in coming.
$sudo su no password required. Eeek.
Exellent little gadget
- Pros: Light weight, very portable, excellent screen, great keyboard.
Best netbook for the money, hands down.
- Cons: Linpus distro, RAM upgrade difficulty
- Other Thoughts: I bought this to use for classes rather than lugging my 15.4" laptop around. In that respect this netbook passes with flying colors. It is light weight and small in size. I just toss it in my backpack, and thanks to the SSD I don't have to worry about it bouncing around, which would mess up a standard HDD. I'll admit the battery life could be a bit better, but for a netbook at this price I was willing to accept that sacrifice. Want longer battery life, spend an extra $200 and get an Eee 901.
The biggest flaw would be the Linpus Linux. I'll admit, I like the desktop that acer set up for this. Though adding programs and changing the desktop to accommodate can be a hassle. However, thanks to the fine folks at aspireoneuser.com I have since replaced mplayer with VLC, Firefox 2 with version 3, and installed Gimp. There is even a way to have a button on the task bar to switch between acer's desktop and a standard XFCE desktop.

Thewtex, I think I love you
- Pros: I have had this notebook since August 2008. In October I put a bios and hdd password on the little bugger - I've been trying to get back into my machine ever since - when I finally found the review written by 'thewtex' I managed to get my computer back - I'm over the moon - I was about to send it back to Acer.
- Cons: Although I set the passwords myself, they did not work. Finally I managed to get into the BIOS and clear both the BIOS and HDD passwords...will not be setting them again...Acer tech support is the pits.
nice little portable lappy
- Pros: very portable; nice screen; good keyboard; good expansion possibilities. The expansion slot and how it merges an SD card with the onboard SSD pretty seamlessly is very handy. Having a switch to disable wireless is also very useful (and will be good on planes).
- Cons: weak video chip; hard to upgrade RAM; kind of slow; weird linux. Linpus is pretty stripped-down. It's easy to cause problems that are hard to diagnose because things like system logging are disabled by default, and if you go into it expecting it to look like a normal linux (especially during the boot process) you will be surprised and confused. It's probably best to not mess with the startup stuff much. The good news is that it does handle wired and wireless networking very cleanly-- I'm impressed with how well switching between them works. The built-in speakers are also pretty weak. Use headphones instead.
- Other Thoughts: I bought a Linux AA1 to replace (or augment) my very old G4 Powerbook with its failing battery. I knew the AA1 would be a good portable system but wouldn't be able to replace the PBG4 as far as things like iTunes goes. That's not really a big deal-- I mainly need a portable system with wireless networking, ssh, and a web browser to use at work. For that, it's great! (Plus OpenOffice will read most Word documents, which I occasionally need.) In fact, overall this is a very nice little system as long as you keep its limitations in mind and don't try to use it as a desktop replacement.
The basic setup should be fine for most users, and for people who want to customize, it's not too tough, although there are ways to cause problems that are hard to diagnose.
I'm really fond of mine after having had it for a couple of weeks. I'm going to take it on a couple of long trips soon and I'll see how it fares.
Best of the netbooks
- Pros: The size and weight are what made me want it initially. At just over 2lbs, you barely notice it's in your bag. I'm a grad student, and for my purposes- note-taking in class, basic office productivity, and networking- it's ideal. Linpus is a bit spartan, but it's very stable and, again, perfect for my purposes.
- Cons: As many have indicated, it's difficult to upgrade the memory. I'm clumsy and messed up the front panel that houses the keyboard during the upgrade process, which meant I had to shell out $50 for a replacement. Of course it's my fault that the thing broke, as plenty of people have managed the upgrade without experiencing the same problem. However, the fact remains that the upgrade process is a great deal harder than full-size notebooks.
- Other Thoughts: Linpus isn't nearly as bad as some would have you think. It's a good introduction to Linux if you're new, and it's easily modded or replaced if you're a vet. The difficulties with the memory upgrade are inevitable given the build of most netbooks (hence the full five-star review). All in all, I'm extremely satisfied with the AAO and highly recommend it- just make sure, if you decide to drop in more RAM, that you're very careful when unclipping the keyboard!
