Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Building on its line of popular Aspire One netbooks, Acer makes it even easier to stay productive while on the go with the larger 10.1-inch screen of the Aspire One AOD250. Improving on the previous AOD150 model, the chassis of the Aspire One AOD250 has been honed down to be more sleek and lightweight than its predecessor while still retaining its excellent near full-size keyboard and stylish signature black bezel surrounding the bright, glossy 10.1-inch screen.



A great choice for light-packing business travelers, the 10.1-inch Aspire One AOD250 comes with Windows XP Home, a 160 GB hard drive, and a 6-cell battery for up to 7.5 hours of battery life.


The sleekly designed Aspire One AOD250 weighs just 2.8 pounds (with 6-cell battery).


The integrated webcam and microphone makes it easy to connect with friends via video chats.
A great choice for students as well as business travelers who like to travel light, this Aspire One AOD250 model (AOD250-1580) in blue has a 6-cell battery that provides up to 7.5 hours of battery life on the go and weighs 2.8 pounds. Designed especially for mobile devices, the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor uses an innovative design structure and hafnium-infused circuitry, which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors to conserve energy.

You'll be able to easily video chat wherever you roam thanks to the Crystal Eye webcam integrated into the LCD's bezel, delivering smooth video streaming and high quality images even in low-light situations. And the built-in digital microphone delivers superior voice quality keeping background noise level low and minimizing echoes.

Packed with roomy 160 GB hard drive--great for storing a mobile digital audio and video library--this Aspire One also features 1 GB of installed RAM (1.5 GB maximum), 54g Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), multi-format memory card reader, multiple USB ports, and built-in email, web browsing, and digital media applications. In addition to this Sapphire Blue model, the AOD250 also comes in Diamond Black, Ruby Red, and Seashell White.

It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.

10.1-Inch CrystalBrite Screen

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. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. 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.


Power-Sipping Processor

The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new 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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best $360 I ever spent!, September 10, 2009
This review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD250-1580 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 7.5 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)
This is the best little computer I've ever owned!!! The battery life is exactly as advertised (I had trouble running it dead the first three times - as the directions recommend!), the keyboard is large and comfortable, the monitor is bright and clear, and the little guy weighs almost nothing!!! I'm a teacher, I just throw him in my bag everyday (he weighs less than my teacher's editions!). The processing speed is faster than my full size laptop, and the functionality... well, you just can't beat it!!! Buy this one!!! Like I said, THE BEST $360 BUCKS I EVER SPENT!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Light and Portable!, September 14, 2009
By S. Rivera (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD250-1580 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 7.5 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)
I went into Best Buy, and a salesman quickly tried to talk me out of buying a Netbook to begin with. To go with a cheap full-sized laptop -- imagine that, pricier than the Netbooks!

I found this on sale at Walmart. For $300+, I said to hell with it. It's worth the risk. Boy, was the salesperson wrong! I used this extremely light Netbook for documents, surfing the web, and streaming videos. It won't stream HD videos well, but with such a small screen resolution, you really don't see a difference with standard quality.

I picked up a friend's full-sized laptop, and after having such a light-weight version, her's felt like a ton of bricks! I would never go back to a regular laptop if it wasn't for the lack of CD-rom drive on the netbook. I keep all my files on an external drive to keep it running fast.
