This is perfect! I bought the same brand with the smaller battery locally and decided that I preferred the longer battery time. I am getting right at 8 hours per charge. It's perfect for surfing the web, doing facebook, email, etc. I have loaded open office and my zune stuff on here so I can watch movies and listen to my music. Yeah, the keyboard is small but when you get a netbook you expect that don't you? The bluetooth is nice - I have used it a couple of times and the webcam isn't bad. The wifi picked up my home network immediately with no issues. It will be nice to travel with this little guy.

Bought this in the end of August. Fast and sweet. The red cover is snazzy but does get fingerprints. Battery power I find long lasting. Fully charged you can leave the power cord behind. Would have been nice to have MS word loaded but on the other hand Open Office is great and free and downloadable. One thing to note. Looked it up in the CNET reviews and they must have tested the older version of this. It shows it has not having blue tooth, which it does, and knocked it for battery life. They show it in the review as 3 cell battery and this one is a 6 cell. Nice machine!

Netbooks are getting a lot of heat but I figured its mostly people who fear netbooks taking a big chunk of the laptop market away from over priced computers that are afraid of them. These machines are perfect for web surfing, email, light to medium games, education software for the kids, homework, work processing, note taking, etc. In short 90% of what people do with their computers can be done with these little babies. If your needs are too great for a netbook, you prolly "know" that already.

The only downside to this laptop and I really do mean the only downside is that the trackpad and left & right button clicks are small and poorly designed. I hear they are better than acer's first try but still I really hate to use the built in trackpad. I much prefer 'any' mouse or track pad.

WOW! This ACER netbook is faster and more portable than I imagined. I retired my 7+ lbs HP laptop, and this little gem does everything- and more! It doesn't have a CD/DVD built in, but if I need to read or write to one, I can do it through my home or work network anyway. I've had it for 3 weeks and have taken it everywhere. Battery life is incredible with the newer 6 cell battery- which comes with this model no. It lasts until I'm ready to plug it in before bed, sometimes with 50% power left after being on all day.

I love my new acer netbook, travels well, fits in my purse and take it to scrapbooking hooked to my printer
can do everything I do on my larger laptop. Its fast compact and has more than 7 hrs battery life.

Only had the Aspire about a month but so far I like what I see. It has all the power of my 2 year old laptop and the battery lasts as long as they say. How long that lasts remains to be seen. The only critiques I would offer are that it should be sold with the 2 GB ram, at least as an option, and you will have to have access to a home network to load your old programs if you don't have an external CD player. But the ram upgrade is cheap and easy to do. I understand the older models required much more disassembly to upgrade the memory. Overall I like the computer a lot. If I was writing this after owning for 6 months I would give it the extra star.

I had been looking for a netbook for a while. I visited the normal retail stores (Best Buy, Target, Office Max/Depot, etc.) All had decent netbooks for similar prices. However, there were a few things that the in-store options did not have. One: Color...I did not want another black laptop like everyone else. I love the red color of the one I purchased on Amazon. Two: Battery life was even more important than color. I love the fact that this laptop has over 7 hours of battery life. Three: The Price is awesome. No other netbook was available in stores for this price and battery life. I am completely satisfied!

This is a smart investment, a great product, fast delivery..!!!!
I just dont know what to say....I love my Acer Netbook, i take it everywhere with me
and the battery....let me tell you...over 7 hours

I wish it had vista or Windows 7 installed but other then this is just great

I comes with windows XP

Don't buy the package that includes a 2GB memory upgrade for this computer. The Aspire One will support only 1GB additional memory, so the upgrade is a waste of money.

I have Acer Aspire One and Sony Lifestyle that i bought recently and guess what? Acer Aspire is much faster than my Sony Lifestyle which is almost 3 times the price!!!
