Thrilled to piecesNovember 12, 2008 I've had my Aspire for just over a month now and I couldn't be happier with it. It's just what I need -- I started grad school in the fall and I needed something to help get things done while I was in my office. This has done the trick! It's so small that I can take it anywhere, including class. It has great battery life, so that hasn't been a concern either. This was absolutely a fantastic purchase and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Awesome little laptop! Great bargainNovember 3, 2008 My wife was looking for a small laptop to take with her on business trips. I found this one, read the reviews and decided to get it. Here's my take: The screen is NOT too small. I bought it because it was small. Some complain that the fan is loud. I haven't heard the fan. My daughter will be getting one for Christmas and several people at my wifes work are considering getting one.
I think its an excellent "alternate" computer.
Excellent Laptop for StudentsNovember 2, 2008 I bought this for my teenage daughter for her birthday but of course I had to check it out myself.
The clarity of the video is nice for being such a small screen. The feel of the keyboard was actually pretty decent. I do recommend getting an external mouse but only because I despise touch pads. It connected to my wireless router easily and I tested it at food court and it pulled up a connection with little to no difficulty. I connected it to an external dvd r/w and even though it didn't have the drivers for it it still worked. The internet connection was pretty decent wireless and wired. It charged up quickly and the battery lasted as advertised (I was impressed too!) Overall I give it a (4 out of 5) just because there is always room for improvement.
But I do give it a personal rating of (5 out of 5) because it has everything you need, to do what you need to do and move on, with out the hassle or extra cost of carrying an extra bag to put it in.
Acer Aspire One XPNovember 2, 2008 I have had my One for about a week. I had been looking at the EEE PC since Last Jan. I'm glad I waited. The One is a great little computer. I got the one with XP since I am used to Windows. It has a 120GB hard drive so I don't have to worry about storage space. I will have to be careful because this One has moving parts. I had read other reviews state that they had trouble with the wireless networking. I have not experienced this or had the fan make a lot of noise. The keyboard size is just fine for me and I'm a big guy but I don't touch type anyway. If you are looking for a UMPC this is a great one ( no pun intended). This is now my favorite computer. I decided I could live with the 3 cell battery. It is a little on the slow side but not exceptionally slow and I don't like waiting. The One does all I need to do on a routine basis although it's good to have a nore conventional system on call. I turned off my desktop. The One does not have a CD drive but I already had a USB CD drive. But SD cards can be used to transfer data if need be. This little guy is so good my wife wants one and she is not into tech stuff at all. Try One you'll love it (pun intended).
A Great little notebookNovember 1, 2008 This is a great little notebook computer for those whom are always on the go. I did purchase the one that had Windows XP installed, but not being a big Windows fan, I did away with it and installed Ubuntu Linux operating system on it. It works fantastic and I am very happy with this purchase. Since it is about the same size as a hardback book, it will fit nicely in a ladies purse, or even in a man's long coat/trench coat pocket. It is very lite and easy to handle. And beats carrying around a larger notebook computer when you are running around all day. The battery has about a 2 hour charge, so if you are going to use it a lot away from home, make sure you have your charger handy!
