This review is from: Acer Aspire One AO532h-2223 Silver Matrix Intel Atom N450(1.66 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook
Pros:
Lightweight
Long Battery Life
More Durable than it looks
Large enough screen, with a VGA output for use with larger monitors
Full of Surprises.
Cons:
Multi touch seems to come and go after a few months of use, but it only does so randomly after boot up or coming out of hibernation. Rubber anti skid nubs tend to fall off after months of sliding back and forth on any surfaces.
Overall Review:
Despite its specs, this netbook really does offer the most bang for your buck when going for quality and price. At default specs, it can handle average web browsing and simultaneous document editing. It also has enough power to play video in standard def with no issues running it alongside other low demand applications, and 720p youtube videos work fine as long as you are not doing anything else. Also, this netbook is able to play not so terribly old games and do it well (Morrowind, Dawn of War 1, and Rise of Nations are the ones I tested out with resounding success) and it also works well as a media hub for streaming HD video to your 360. Another thing worth noting is that it has a lot more processing power than you might give it credit for, which also applies to video conversion. Sure you wont be able to use the thing for about 6-8 hours when converting a standard length movie from one format to another, but it is nice to know the option exists. All in all, this is a good buy.
