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!


portable 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.

Linplus Linux
 
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 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 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 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 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.




Design 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 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
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill piece of kit., 20 Mar 2009
By L. Porter (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So it looks like Paul "VideoNerd's" review was about Linux and not The A150. This is the problem these days where people are too quick to complain, I mean 1 star?
The Linux version of this Netbook is not so hot unless you A) Know about and have the patience to use it, B) You want to save a bit of money.
Paul mentions poor battery life at around 1hr, doesn't give the whole picture and the machine locking up often. I'm not sure about the Linux version but under XP you get around 2 hrs of internet browsing. As for the screen, you knew about the resolution before you purchased it right? So don't complain about it. A 1024x600 screen won't show you a full web page so you will have to scroll. If you thought different then you shouldn't have a computer at all. By the way, I hooked mines up to my 42" HDTV and played Need For Speed smoothly at full 1920x1080 which I was NOT expecting. So far mines has not locked up, maybe that's due to me using the more reliable and more stable XP. I don't know what he means about the recovery disc, one comes bundled with it and even to make one you don't need another computer.

Let's move on to D.E. Smyth. You can't download on it, are you sure? Maybe YOU can't download on it but I can. Maybe by download you mean there's no optical drive to install anything. Do people not research things before they buy them? Get an external DVD player. You all seem to forget that this is a cut-down laptop, anything missing is intentional although the only thing missing IS a DVD drive. It's for carrying around easily when out or on holiday. You can use it to connect to people back home, finish your documents or use it for whatever. If you need to install stuff, do that at home. If you can't download on it then there's something wrong with YOU!
R. Revell has screen problems, yeah your son broke it but you gave the A150 1 star because your son is accident prone. Don't buy another Acer, move on to something else to moan about.

Why not tell people about it's performance and what it DOES have. For what it is, it's actually quite a performer. It's no powerhorse but is more than capable of doing the tasks it was designed for hence the name "Netbook". If you are trying to compare it with other laptops or moan about what it can't do then you're the mugs for buying it. I can play games on mine that won't play on my 2yr old £700 laptop. Games like return to castle wolfenstein, need for speed underground and red faction. Granted they are a bit old but it is only a Netbook innit? So you can play games, browse the internet, perform video calling, work on documents, send email and use skype, all without extra hardware or wires. I installed the beta version of Windows 7 on mine just to check and it worked just fine. I'll bet Windows 7 won't even install on my other laptop.
Listen people don't listen to the ones who only give 1 or 2 stars, they don't know what they're talking about. you can't fault the brand if you have a broken one or if you don't know how to use it right or if you didn't research before buying. The A150 is perfect for it's intented use and beyond so don't buy it if you expect it to perform like your desktop. Buy it if you need something ultra portable that can keep you connected and hold your work.
Connections:
1 Internal wirless card
3 Usb 2.0
1 Multi-card reader
1 SD card memory expansion port ( more suitable for the solid state HDD version)
1 Ethernet port
1 mic input
1 earphone/speaker output
1 VGA out

1GB DDR2 expandable to 1.5GB
120GB HDD
Intel Atom N270 1.60GHZ
Intel 945 Express Graphics D3D compatible (up to 220mb shared)
High Definition Audio

The specs above are also present in more expensive Netbooks so why pay more for the same? You will only be disappointed with this Netbook for two reasons. 1) You get a faulty one. 2) You're just a moaner anyway.
OK, I've said enough. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent buy, would recommend, 4 Nov 2008
I decided I wanted a smaller lighter laptop than the one I had already and was debating whether to go for Linux version or XP which I was more familiar with.
Decided to take a chance and have been well impressed with the simplicity of Linux interface. Very easy to configure wireless network and email accounts which were my biggest concern! It comes fully loaded with all the basic applications - I'm a new convert to OpenOffice after using it on the Acer Aspire One. Its fab, does everything I need it for and even fits in my handbag! A great peace of kit - Would highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little machine, 5 Dec 2008
I ordered one of these for my mum's birthday, going for the Linux version over Windows XP purely for the difference in price (I can always install XP later, a fairly simple task for me). The machine was booted up and on the internet within about 3 minutes, which is the fastest out of the box set up I've ever seen.

As far as software goes, it has almost everything you need for web browsing, msn, email, documents etc, and the interface is easy to use. I would say that it needs Skype and a different media player installed (the pre loaded one can't play DivX encoded video). This is where the choice of operating system is important - if you are NOT technically minded, familiar with Linux, or don't have someone who can install new stuff for you, GET THE XP VERSION. Installing new software on the Linpus Linux is a pain, generally requiring use of the command line, and I would say that the version installed by Acer is aimed at people who don't want to do much more than what the present applications cater for.

The hardware is lightweight but feels fairly sturdy, and looks really nice too. The keyboard is fine for every day use, but the trackpad may take a little getting used to as the buttons are situated at either side rather than underneath. The screen is crisp and clear, no dead pixels, and the VGA output still looks decent on my 32" TV. The built in camera and mic work great (tested with Skype), and the speaker sound quality is fine for general use although a little lacking in bass (remember, it's a netbook!!). My only real gripe would be battery life - the 3 cell battery provided only lasts for 2-2.5 hours, but it also charges up pretty quickly.

Overall I'd say its a great little machine, very cute and dinky looking, incredibly light weigh, easy to use and definitely suited to its purpose.
