Most Favorable Review

Superior Netbook,. Good Notebook

Acer Aspire AS1410-2801 Sapphire Blue Intel Celeron SU2300(1.2 GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook
Acer Aspire AS1410-2801 Sapphire Blue Intel Celeron SU2300(1.2 GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Light (3 lbs), Low Cost, Long Battery Life (4.5-6hrs depending), Very Acceptable Performance with dual core processor (fine for youtube, internet surfing, general computer use, no long hang ups). I owned an Acer Aspire One netbook with an Atom - there is no comparison. This is *well* worth the extra $100 - 150. Windows 7 works great (after crapware removal).

Cons: Would be nice to have bluetooth already installed, larger HD, more memory, etc, but for the price you can't really complain!

Overall Review: This is just about a perfect notebook for someone that also has a desktop. But it can handle much of what people use computers for these days. Windows 7 score is 3.2, due to the graphics. Memory and processor are not bad. The 13.3" model w/ DDR3 and a somewhat faster processor looks good too, but significantly more $, a bit more weight.

Pros: Great Price, work for both PC and Mac, nice quality sound within typical spectrum. These work great for our needs as a living room iTunes and Pandora player.

Cons: Had some distortion with classical that had a wide range of volume and sounds. For the audiophile these might not be optimal but for the price they can't be beat.

Overall Review: Have heard speakers that cost far more sound worse!

one of two failed

Pros: low price, 2 GB/stick

Cons: reliability - I've never had a memory stick fail, one of the two I got 4 months ago appears to have done so. Cost some hours in troubleshooting and getting my machine back up.
