Most Favorable Review

Very good for what it is

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1326 White Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook
Acer Aspire One AOD250-1326 White Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Very lightweight, easy to carry. Bright sharp screen. All the features I need. Excellent battery life - it's gone 4 - 6 hours, depending on hard drive usage. Nice feeling keyboard. Upgradeable memory. Low price for what you get. Seems to be well made.

Cons: Glossy screen, glare in light. Touchpad erratic (like they all are), but I use a mouse with a nano-receiver most of the time. A tad on the slow side, but that's to be expected, and is acceptable, considering the low price.

Overall Review: I bought this netbook strictly to carry on trips. It went on an Alaska cruise very shortly after I purchased it, and performed like a champ. I was able to carry it to all portions of the ship that had wifi reception, and it even elicited comments from other passengers. It will travel to my son's for Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to his reaction. My "big" computer is a Sager desktop replacement and was a real chore to lug around. I just put this little guy in my backpack, along with lots of other stuff, and I'm good to go. If you recognize the limitations of the netbook (small keyboard, slower processor, lack of optical drive), it can fill a real need.
