4.0 out of 5 stars A nicely built netbook with unbelievably low price!, September 14, 2009

By	J. Hardjojuwono "JJ" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Acer Aspire One 531h 10.1-Inch Diamond Black Netbook - 6 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

I bought my first portable computer in 1996 for $2,000US (a Dell laptop with Intel P1-250MHz), then a second one in 2002 for $1,500US (a Dell inspiron laptop P4-2000MHz/512-ram), and now this is my third portable computer an Acer Aspire One AOP 531H with Intel Atom N270 (1,600MHz), 1Gb Ram, 160GB HDD, an integrated webcam, Bluetooth and WiFi for only $350US --> WoW!

I just purchased this last week on 11/9/09. It was on clearance, and it cost me around 350USD. So far I am very happy with the overall built, features, and performance. I think this little netbook is nicely built. I was a little bit concern with the 3-cell Li-On battery that came with it. But I was wrong and I found the battery provides ample online time for me. I was using it with Bluetooth and WiFi on, and it was running for maybe 1 hour and I still have 1.5hr left to go. I think the battery might last a little bit longer if I turn off Bluetooth and Wifi.

The only negatives comments I have for this netbook are: (1) The left side of the netbook becomes considerably hot after 45min~60min use. (2) The built of the adapter feels cheap and the DC cord might not last a long time.

My first Acer product was a PDA and this netbook is my second Acer product. So far, I am happy with ACER ;-)
