Acer Aspire One AOD150-1577 Black Intel Atom N270(1.60 GHz) 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: The glossy screen is a pro for me, though it may be a con for some people if they're out in the sun in the bahamas. The design is great, and i love that it has 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys on the keyboard. The HDD and RAM slots are easy to upgrade, there are panels on the bottom for both. I upgraded to 2GB immediately with Item# N82E16820134317 and this baby runs smooth like butter. Surprisingly, there isn't too much bloatware to uninstall.

Cons: The battery sticks out a bit, though i only notice this while it's closed. The touchpad could have been a bit wider, and the mouse buttons are on one solid 'rocker' bar, but a good wireless mini optical mouse solves that.

Overall Review: I got a 5200mah battery with this, i guess i was one of the lucky ones. Go me! I remember a few years ago i was playing my Nintendo DS while in line at the post office, and a woman asked me where i got "that tiny laptop" from. I never imagined i would have a laptop this portable a few years later.

Pros: -great battery life -perfect size for portability -good build quality -comes with windows xp -supports 3G -surprisingly snappy

Cons: -TONS of bloatware, took a good hour to get rid of it -touchpad needs a lot of configuration to be considered good.

Overall Review: great netbook for the price. needs a lot of cleaning and configuring to make it usable though.

Pros: Perfect size and super battery life. Bought this for my wife to surf the Internet and play games on. She dumps it in her tote bag and off she goes. Wonderful little netbook.

Cons: All the bloatware that Acer puts on it - but that may be what helps them keep their pricing so reasonable.

Overall Review: If you are looking for notebooks and come to the Acers be sure to double check the model. If I remember correctly all of the colored case models had the small battery - roughly half the usage time of this one. That little fact was kind of buried in the rest of the specs.

Pros: Slightly rough surface of the keyboard keys keeps fingers from sliding off easily. A great feeling, and easy to use keyboard. Felt comfortable with it immediately. Also received the 5200mah battery with it, from Newegg. Zowie! This thing is so light and portable, don't know why I didn't purchase one before. It works great as a GPS monitor with a USB mini bluetooth dongle (more on this later). Certainly worth the money, especially with the 5200 mah battery. A no brainer, if you want a new netbook.

Cons: I gave this a 4-star rating instead of a 5 because of just one niggle; it doesn't come with built-in bluetooth. An external dongle will have to tie-up one USB port, but with the new mini USB dongle, it may be left on the machine at all times, if wanted. The long-run battery is up to the task. A minor niggle, yes, but this machine would be best in class with built-in bluetooth. The touchpad buttons are very hard to depress, hopefully, they will get easier with age, or I will get used to them, as I've given my full-sized Toshiba laptop to my fiance to use, and the acer one is almost as peppy as it is.

Overall Review: I put 2GB of memory in it, because I had it lying around doing nothing. The 1GB supplied is certainly good enough for anything this little sweetie was designed for. The display is very bright on its highest setting, and the display backlight may be turned-off with the function F5 combo. Very important to the life of the backlight, especially when downloading huge files. A simple touch of a key will instantly turn-on the backlight again. I would buy this unit again, and recommend it highly for its price point, and value. Charles

Pros: great battery life

Cons: trackpad buttons very reflective screen

Overall Review: This system is great for internet use and some light work (email, document review, etc.) I love the size and easy of carrying it around. The keyboard is a bit small, but you get used to it fairly easily. The trackpad is merely OK. The display is sharp but very reflective which can be a problem in bright areas. Performance is reasonable considering the price and weight. The battery life is outstanding - I treat it like a mobile phone and charge it up overnight for use the next day. I don't use it all day long, usually a few hours here and there, but I've never seen the battery dip below 50%. Overall, a nice netbook.

Pros: Almost everything is a pro for this little guy. Very bright screen, amazing battery life(7-8 hours with iTunes running), easy setup.

Cons: Nothing I would consider a con or defect.

Overall Review: It does come with preinstalled software that is too much for netbook, but go through and uninstall it and everything runs fast and perfect. Though it works fine with 1GB ram, an upgrade to a single 2GB chip makes any minimal lag obsolete. The keyboard is as big and well laid out as possible for the form factor and I have had no problems with the touchpad. PS: This puppy has the ability to run Mac OSX(Leopard) and Linux.

Pros: I checked out most of the competing 10" Netbook brands and decided to get the Acer Aspire One D150 (Black). I'm positive I made the right decision. One of the best, brightest screens I've ever seen on any laptop. Build quality is great. If it didn't have the manufacturer's name own it, you would swear it's a high dollar little laptop. Liked the keyboard better than other brands. Fn and Ctrl keys are backwards on some brands. Fn and Ctrl keys in normal location on the AA1. Other brands had an off brand touchpad that didn't have the settings I like. AA1 has a real Synoptics brand touch pad. Easy access panels for Memory and Hard Drive replacement. Wireless connects instantly at boot up. I really love this little PC. I like it better than my 17" Alienware Laptop that cost 6 times as much.

Cons: Only real complaint is, the touchpad could be wider. Loaded with Acer preinstalled junk and trail software. After removing the junk it's surprisingly fast. Would be nice if they ever figured out how to stuff a slot loading CD/DVD drive in these little suckers.

Overall Review: Add the maximum 2GB of memory before the first boot. Remember it only has one slot, so you have to replace the original 1GB stick. Works great with a USB Boot Stick with partitioning & imaging software on it. Planning on upgrading to a bigger hard drive soon.

Pros: Great computer! Perfect size and very practical. I added 1 more Gig of RAM so it's really fast!. The battery life is better than the specs stated so I am very pleased with the computer. I am buying another one for my wife.

Cons: Lots of junk software, but Once you get rid of them, is another day in paradise.
