Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
| The Acer Aspire One is a stylish and ultra mobile netbook, ideal for surfing the web, doing emails and messenger as well as basic computing functions like writing letters and doing simple spreadsheets. With its stunning 8.9 inch screen with built in webcam, 95% keyboard and unique yet intuitive interface, you will find the Aspire One a pleasure to use. Want one? Aspire One! |
 | Ultra-portable Weighing less than 1KG* and with dimensions that are smaller than the average diary, the Aspire One is fits into the palm of your hands, making it simple to carry by hand or even in a handbag. |
Unique Aspire One Interface One of the neatest features of the Aspire One is the unique operating system which is created on Linux Linplus. This simple-to-use system is based on clear icons, similar to a mobile phone system, which are launched by simply clicking on them, which makes it intuitive to use and simple to master.  Your primary interface is separated into 4 clear segments, Connect, Work, Fun and Files that combine to give you access to a whole host of tools to ensure you make the most of your mobility. |
 | Connect: The Aspire One puts your favourite communication programs right on the home screen so you’re ready to connect to the web, email or chat on messenger within seconds of turning it on. |
 | Work For people who want to stay productive on the move, the Work section on the Aspire One has built in software that allows you to do everything from writing letters and doing basic spreadsheets to running a presentation. In the work section you can also access your contacts list, a calculator and a notes pad, giving you the flexibility you need. |
 | Fun What would life be like without some fun? Whether it is watching a movie, listening to music or playing one of the exciting games already installed, the Aspire One will keep you entertained on the go. |
 | Files The files section of the interface gives you the ability to copy, share or access your files and folders simply and logically ensuring you are always in control. |
 | Stylish Design The Aspire One is an elegant and stylish netbook that features a stunning gloss cover in either seashell white or sapphire blue colours, so you can pick the version that suits your style and your personality. |
 | Easy to Use One of the key aspects to any Netbook is the keyboard size, too small and you can’t use it properly, too big and the whole system needs to be made bigger. Acer has managed to get a 95% keyboard into its 8.9 inch netbook, one of the largest for the size, making this netbook a pleasure to type on. |
 | Connectivity Connectivity is vital with a netbook, both to the internet and to other devises. For strong internet connectivity Acer has both wired and wireless internet connectivity options. To connect to other devises there are 3 USB ports as well as VGA output and sharing data between devises is easy with the built in multicard reader. |

I have had my aspire one for a few days now, and I am really pleased with it.
I bought this particular model as I needed a super portable laptop that was light and easy to use. The acer aspire one fits the bill perfectly.
The computer is so small and light that I can put it in my bag and take it anywhere with me, and the battery easily lasts 3 hours when I am out and aboout. Although the keyboard is small, it is not too small, it is still very functional and easy to type on. the keys are all spaced apart and have bevelled edges and I have not really ahd any difficulties using it, as this was one of my concerns. the only kepboard based criticism is that the quotation marks key and the at symbol are the wrong way round! however as I have used a macbook pro this was not really an issue. basically 2 is at and ' is ", if that makes sense.
the touchpad is ok as well, a little jumpy at times, but i have simply purchased a cheap usb wireless mouse. it is probably worth pointing out that I have a little trouble with most touchpads, not just this one.
the speakers are good too, i have had no trouble when listening to anything.
the linux operating system is also great - i was a little worried as I had never used linux before, but the open office software looks so similar to microsoft that I cannot imagine anyone would struggle with it, and everything I have saved so far has been compatible with my mac and my pc. the interface is pleasant and easy to navigate and the processor is suprisingly quick.
likewise, surfing the net is easy, there have been no problems there.
all in all this is a great little computer, and does everything i needed it to - web cam, skype, messenger, internet, email, and open office. plus there are some nifty games (i am already addicted to the free platform game and the bubble game).
I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a lightweight fully functional computer, I am really impressed and this product is better than expected.

Brilliant little netbook, I've had no troubles with it at all but for those users who needed to restore it, you don't have to buy a external DVD drive just create a restore memory stick from the restore DVD on another PC or Laptop.
Full instructions are on the aspire website.

I bought the blue aspire with the 8gb SSD for my GF as an addition to a normal laptop.
I am so impressed with it.
The screen is superb, the thing is so light and the keyboard great to type on even with my man-sized hands.
Apart from these obvious features, the best thing about this is the operating system.
I'm a professional UNIX SA working with Sun Solaris and RHEL, and I bought an asus701 a few months back with the xandros o/s on it.
Well this Linpus o/s is sooooo much better. It is cleaner, faster and the included apps work far better.
Most people say the thing wrong with Linux is that in comparison to MSWindows, Linux does not work as well for multimedia applications, but this OS is better. Not just a little better, but way better than Windows or the xandros version on the asus, it's even easier and cleaner to use than Ubuntu!
If you want something fast, quiet, light, with a superb OS then don't even think about it, get the Acer Aspire one, but get the SSD version as the battery lasts longer and it is faster too.
The only things and yes there are 2 things I don't like, are:
1. There is no sleeve/case supplied with the machine, which is just ridiculous.
2. The power supply is the same size as a standard laptop, which means there is more to lug about with you, whereas the asus has the lovely little plug sized one.
Apart from those two points, this is by far the best "netbook" on the market.

Excellent product. It's small and therefore very portable, it's also fast considering it's not particularly high spec, this I guess is thanks to Linpus Linux Lite. Read more
