The 10.1-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory.

Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments.

Take the Internet to more places with the long battery life and flexibility of a compact, lightweight netbook powered by the incredibly small, amazingly smart Intel Atom processor. It features a design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

4.0 out of 5 stars worth more than price, September 3, 2009

This review is from: Acer AOD250-1962 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - Over 3 Hours of Battery Life (Tools & Home Improvement)

I love this netbook. Its small enough that i can take it anywhere but not so small that i cant see the screen. I adapted very well to the keys that are smaller and closer together.. and dont have any problems with it. Everything loads up quickly and the colors are great. The battery does die out rather quickly but that is why it is good to bring the charger with you when you go places.. the webcam works nicely too. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is under a budget and needs a laptop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Pink Ultra Thin Acer, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Acer AOD250-1962 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - Over 3 Hours of Battery Life (Tools & Home Improvement)

Great find, Great buy! This Acer is Ultra Thin and the perfect tool for students. It only weighs two pounds and comes in an arrangement of colors for different styles. I really enjoy this product because it is wifi ready and can easily fit into my purse or totebag. The webcam is nice and it has energy star, meaning that it is energy efficient. These netbooks have windows xp instead of vista which is another plus. I am so happy that I bought this product. The only negative thing is the acer company is bad at helping customers when something needs to be fixed. The customer representatives have a language barrier that makes it difficult to communicate. You will need more than a warranty with this product and you will never get a discount on another product from acer.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved this little thing, December 6, 2009

This review is from: Acer AOD250-1962 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - Over 3 Hours of Battery Life (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this for my 8 yr old for Christmas. While, she has not gotten it yet, I have have played with it quite a bit. I bought an extra gig of memory for it and it zips around the internet. She is going to love it! It is light and small, just perfect for her little hands. I personally find the keyboard a bit cramped and have a harder time typing on the small keyboard.
UPDATE: Gave it to her on xmas eve, very dissappointed the screen resolution does not go high enough so that she can play on Webkinz. The main reason we bought this was for her to be able to play on her online games. Webkinz will NOT work with this netbook.
