  • After over 3 hours they were unable to resolve the matter and told me that there was nothing further that they could do. I filed a claim for a refund on the technical support and was (VERY RUDELY I MIGHT ADD by "Orville badge #GWSS116") denied. I'm really not sure which is worse, the customer support or the product. After my experiences not only would I not recommend purchase, I would strongly advise against it. I hope this review helps someone before they make the same mistakes that I did.

  • I decided to take the computer(my fathers christmas gift) back to try another one because the additional $200 was over my budget. After I exchanged the laptop for another computer I came to face with the same problem, I was assured that if I purchased the support that a technition would be able to resolve the matter.

  • I bought an Acer netbook last week, could get wireless connection but was unable to surf the web. I called customer support and they insisted that I would have to purchase technical support which would essentially cost another $200.

  • not funny, get to the review.

  • i have the same laptop. my bro broke it for just dropping it on the carpet! this computer is very very small. hard to search the web. its full of crap dont buy this

  • OMG!!!!!!! I have this computer and its fucking GAY!!! it sucks soooooo much dick u can't even comprehend how gay it is!!!!!!!!!! who ever is reading this go get a fuckin alienware M15x

  • can i have msn or skype to chat like on standard computer

  • its a net book not a sub-laptop

  • I love british people they are so fucken funny man we were taking picture of me licking it! Oh ya baby can i be your laptop!

  • Looks like an ancient video to me. With a shiity pixels on!

  • I just bought the a150 model for £100 from eBay. It's got xp installed + 160gb HD + 1gb ram . The prices are gone down :D

  • why wouldnt you just buy the cheaper linux ver, and if you really need xp, pirate it.

  • i wanna see lick it

  • can someone please tell me what WiMAX is?

  • I bought an Acer Aspire one brand new for £149 from Ebuyer last month. They were getting rid of old stock. Bargain! I love it. Only criticism is the keyboard is a bit too small so lots of spelling mistakes are made when typing. The size and weight make up for this disadvantage though :)

  • I got my Acer Aspire One second hand a few days ago. Its been going fine for about 2 days, then over night i started it up and its taking about 3 times slower than usual, but also the sound has gone crackly and slow.

    I don't know what to do.

    I have done a virus scan with no threats found, and fragmented.

    could it be the fact that hav just downloaded and installed about 5gb worth of stuff.

    Also can you please make it so it doesnt remove all my stuff.

    ty

  • HELP I cant find an acer aspire one for $200 anymore. help me out i really want one!

  • Sams and costco are selling them for

    $296.

  • You probably saw the 199 pounds price

    Tiger direct I heard is selling them for $270.

  • i know im just a stupid amercian but love the accents and for some reason "quin" and "pounds" sounds so much cooler than dollars

  • Stupid American? Hmph.

  • Lol it's not quin, it's "quid" slang for pound.

  • why do you call yourself a stupid American? Be proud of your home!

  • vagina poundin time.....

  • You people are funny......in a good way.

    BTW, you shouldn't lick things made Taiwan...unless it's a hooker.

  • Why is every review I see plagued with stupid comments like yours? Do you care about the product or more about the people? Seriously, get a grip and chill out.

  • you douche just appreiciate the product

  • Wow, somebody has a miserable life hehe

  • To be honest, I think it's probably because I'm American, but I think that an English accent makes tech reviews sound more professional. Most tech reviews from an American announcer/host/hostess sound so boring and monotone. Just my two cents on the matter.

  • do you know if it works well with vista

  • She is kinda hot

  • Geeky kind of hot...

  • A person is either hot or not, there isn't somethign like "kinda hot"...sigh

  • There is, "Kinda hot" means that you would fuck them, but not date them.

  • I messed about with mine and i changed it to my liking. I have linux. I changed the the 4 desktop boxes blue. And I added a start menu come to my channel to have a look. I also downloaded vlc media player.

  • the girl ruins it she dont take it seariously

  • im waching it on my acer aspire one 8.9 only i recomend to go buy it at stores or first see it at rl cause its really really small

    ppl say it got bad volume just turn it up at fn up

  • wow... 0.3 megapixel camera? screw that... i have no problem if it was a bit low on RAM, or hdd space, but a camera, you cant upgrade that

  • I love my Aspire One 3G! I bought mine for $99 with the RadioShack/AT&T offer. It's great and a lot more better looking than the Eee PC. The only thing I'm having a problem with is finding the right size sleeve to put it in. It's gorgeous and I want to prevent it from being scratched. Does anyone out there know of a site/place that might have a case that would fit the Aspire One?

  • How did you get it for 99?

  • I bought it at RadioShack. Of course, I needed to agree on a 2yr. data contract.

  • They are $50 now

  • Yes, they cost $50 at Radio Shack, but only when you add a two yr. contract with ATT which only gives you 5GB of 3G wireless data at $60 a month, and if... then a $170 cancelation fee... Get it? C'mon, do the math? Is it worth it, or would you rather pay its reg. cost? I didn't think so! But, yes! It's a great mini, for it's reg. price!

  • Yeah i posted that right before I read the whole description. It's a rip off

  • HOW ANNOYING CAN A WOMAN BE??

  • man when you said "This is Dan" I laughed so hard. You sounded like Forrest Gump when he's saying "Lieutenant Dan" :D:D

    but anyway, nice review! ;)

  • You two are cute.

  • It will run at the core bus speed as a maximum. No miracles there. Intel doesn't have integrated memory controllers as AMD has.

  • Very good review. It made me think about subscribing... hmmm...

  • ive got a 120GB linux :)

  • I've got an Acer Aspire One that came with 1.5GB ram, 160gb HDD, but only the little 3 cel battery.. got a killer deal on it ($280 US dollars plus tax.. thats 200ish pounds)

    The keyboard gave me no issues.. I had no troubles typing at a decent speed within 5-10 min and my hands aint tiny (im 6 foot tall)..

    yea the webcam DOES suck.. so does the video card, only simple 3d games! the 3 cel battery only lasts around 2.5 hours, if I saw the 6 cel for less than 100 bucks more I woulda gotten it.

  • How much.... is that puppy in the window if i may awwsk

  • Get the Asus EEEPC1000H

    Battery 6 Cells 7.8 hours

    a large 10" Screen

    Generally well sized keyboard

  • yay an EEEPC user and yes the 1000H is nice but i love my 701.

    i have a 901 in the post =]

  • how much is a pound in american money?

  • that is not hard too google ;)

  • it's about $2.80-ish

  • Anyone happen to play a HD/Blu-Ray rip on one of these? I'm wondering if it can handle HD ok.

  • this is not really made for HD but it handles just fine. I mean the resolution is 1024X600 on a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. I also upgraded the RAM so I have 1.5GB RAM (512MB on board and 1GB in slot). Mine plays rips just fine.

  • Yeah I helped my mate upgrade his Acer to 1.5GB RAM. How long did it take you to install, it took us like over an hour lol. You shouldn't have to remove everything including the motherboard to just access RAM.

  • The RAM isn't that bad to install. I had it done in 10 mins or less. I work on copy machines, so tricky hardware is kind of my specialty.

  • Can anyone tell me what graphics card the aspire ones come with? Can you play games on it ?

  • you can play games one it but it takes a little bit longer then a laptop

  • it depends on which model u get...mine came with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100....some come with the Intel Graphics Media 950.

  • Maybe I got a dud but my Acer Aspire One's fan is a little loud. When I'm in the library studying I can definitely hear it going. The battery life does not run 3 hrs; it runs maybe a little less than 2 hrs (with Windows updates). I've had two Acers now and it's the same for both. I don't do anything really hardcore on it so I'm quite happy with it in general...and, mine is pink.

  • the girl is cute

  • I just got the blue one today but I had a question.

    Can you write well on this, like say, a whole essay? Or would that just be confined to a regular laptop/p'c only?

    And.....completely unrelated, I luv you guys' accent! :)

  • I take mine to class with me to take notes. It's comfortable to use except you might have to use the zoom button a lot to read the screen more clearly.

  • okay, thanks. Lugging a huge 17" laptop back and forth was really not cool. lol.

  • wut, Desmond?

  • I HAVE A BLUE ONE !!!

  • Though i do have some questions.

    1)I have a USB, how do i put movies on it with the sound and everything?

    2)If i plug my USB in will it play the movie? Please get back to me. I need to know before we go on holiday for the journey i was thinking i could watch a movie.

  • I recommend you to install VLC (google for "top ten aspire one tips") for movies, because the included media player doesn't play some formats like Xvid.

  • I am using the exact computer right now, white and linux version and i love it! its brill, has everything i need and also things i not just need but want! Honestly worth it! All the things like sensitive keypad i like, go for it! If you have any questions, ASK ME! X :]

  • does it make a noise? How fast does it run?

  • I bought one yesterday but am going to have to take it back and change it as I think I have a duff one (It won't switch on) Planning on doing that tomorrow. I do have a question for you for when I have my new one though. Can you tell me how to download Skype on it. I have the Linux version.

  • LOOOL THE BEGINNIN MADE ME CRACK UP u guys were like OOO ! AHH!

  • Some people here say they can play big games likes World Of War. Don't you need a cd drive to do that because this laptop doesn't seem to have one.

  • Rip the cd to a usb thumb drive. Or external USB CD drive.

  • this netbook is perfect for university students. it's perfect for taking notes in class and browsing. that's what it's made for. i already have a 4 pound laptop but this thing is so light, i take the acer to school everyday.

  • I got one too and I love it, when Im home I hook it up to my 22inch monitor and when I'm out I love how compact it is, kind of cut down on people looking over my shoulder to see what im doing ! love it enjoy !!!

  • I got my acer aspire 1 today and it has some problems with connecting to my wireless network, it doesn't connect at all! Can someone reply to this response with an explanation???

  • Well if you use it for what it is made for you will be surprised on how good of a budget laptop it is. i think its a wonderful piece of shit, I meant shit in a good way hehehe.

  • after 2-3 months from posting the video you will change opion , trust me :-D , eee pc 901 is good and MSI wind is good too

  • If you like acer check out this contest watch?v=QsD-ylEOvb0

  • i got one of these for christmas are computer games good on them? because they got small screens. And fightnight3358 you can bie a hardrive disc reader for them to thats what i did

  • it's not going to power games, really... it can probably run old games, but it's really meant for surfing, email, word processing, that sort of thing.

  • there are no cd drives on these computers they suck !!!!!!

  • its a netbook... none of them have a cd drive yett...

  • and never will, if they're a netbook.

    they're big in the uk b.c of mobile broadband (virgin, o2) but not si much here in the us.

  • thing about netbooks, right, is the compact-ness of them. so there won't be optical drives in any of them.

    what's more is that over the coming years you'll probably start seeing the trend to back down from having the internal optical drives, in favor of external drives, and thus letting the consumer decide whether they want it or not.

  • i bought the XP model here in the USA saturday

    my review....I like everything EXCEPT the webcam

    i record my you tube videos on a Macbook,you can see a substatial difference with this netbook,the video is nowhere near as good.Outside of that i like it

  • I just got one for Christmas and I am afraid that this thing is too good to be true but so far it hasn't let me down. This thing is going everywhere with me. 10/10!

  • how you liking it so far? how is the fan noise on it? i need a small, sturdy netbook i can lug around classes and to the library on campus and i think my instructors would get grumpy if the fan was whirling up all the time. thanks!

  • the fan is low but constant

    i like mine..... i gotit today :D

  • I just bought myslef a blue one for christmas...

    I love it...

  • i have the 120 gb im actualy watching this video on it right now I bought it for my self for christmas. :)

  • nice review!! check out the promo I made of the Aspire one at my videos :)

  • there actually is one available with 120 gb

  • it kind of has the new macbooks look

  • i have a asper aspire one and i think its great.

  • shes hot !

  • they kick ass

  • omg, i LOVE accents lol

  • seid ihr deutschen oder wat

  • i am currently looking for a laptop or notebook and i think it could be a good contender and im realy close to buying one now

  • has the blue acer got black or white keyboard?

  • black i think

  • WTH 4th time i seen you

  • same here

  • hi...i really need someone to know to answer and asap if he can...im in the middle of taking Eee 901 or Acer Aspine One...someone can help me choose the rite one i want it for games or surfing in the net pls someone help me to choose and if someone know the price of each psl help me

  • The Acer Aspire One blows the Eee 901 away in all aspects.

    If you are looking for games neither will do it. They're not meant for games at all really, but anything from maybe.... the year 2000 and before would work, games with sprites.

  • you must be joking right ? I am doing 3d graphcis with a 110. Aspire one is fine for games, it even supports opengl hardware acceleration , which my old 1GHz (2002 model) hp laptop did not. Why the hell you will be limited to sprite games ?

    I have seen at least one youtube video in which one guy played Warcraft (WOW) online with this beauty. OF curse is a game machine, it wont play demanding games , but there are loads of games 3d or not that can play. I probably install nverwinter nights 1

  • Yes, there are videos of people playing WoW, but on low settings and only with no other players around. Go into a city and bam, might as well not play, and if you join a party the other people in your party will lag you enough to make it unplayable.

    Yeah, some older 3D games will work, I was playing warcraft 3 with 50fps on my aspire one. But I took it back for an MSI wind, it's superior.

  • I was just replying to guy commenting that this computer is only good for sprite games.I think my reply is quite fair.

    If I can play WOW with 250 euro laptop even at lowest settings, sorry but I have to say this thing really ROCKS!!!!

    Let me repeat this Aspire one (model 110) 250 euros !!! and it can play WOW!!!!

  • you can play games like counter-strike on it too. World of warcraft and stuff.

  • acer aspire

  • Wow. Kat's voice and knowledge (just going on and on enumerating things) is quite hot. Not as hot as my gf =p but quite hot indeed =D

  • I hear ya...

  • We all love Ms. Hannaford =p

  • true indeed i neglected to look at the date of this release, i apoligize.

  • unfortunately some of the information you where giving was wrong, the max hd memory is actually 120g built in. the cam is actually 1.4mpx but over all good job.

  • it was not wrong it is just outdated. The information they are giving was correct when it was produced. Obviously Acer has done some upgrading and come out with some newer specs since they launched the Aspire One

  • shes gives me a boner..specially her voice...wow

  • honestly this laptop is very slow i had one my slef just sold it cuz it was soo slow from my point of view i think that its worth the price only if u need it as GPS for ur car and also connect it to ur car for songs other than that its slow for doing other things

  • I know it comes with out a disc drive, but with enough space, and deamon tools and a pendrive, can I play games on it??

  • as i told hyamena below this is a computer based for quick e-mail checkers and stuff like that... use your desktop for gaming

  • yeah its just a laptop really just alot smaller

  • hi i bought one of theses recently and im having trouble with downloading stuff like when i tryed downloading gunz or the photoshop trial it says that the download is default to emrald something or other... how can i change this or how do i get the apps up on emarald.

  • you will not get the best experience running photoshop with this laptop. it is only a single core 1.6 Ghz processor, which is similar to a P4 also if you use the linux version those programs are based on windows.

  • can you download aim and such? pleae reply

  • yeah. I think you can also put skype. It basically is a computer.

  • If you get the windows xp version.

  • Just bring back an hour ago,with 1GB Ram and 160GB HDD,and preloaded XP home.work great.i love it!mine is a Pearl White!

  • Linux would have been better

  • nice! im planning to get one! but whats better linux or windows xp? and what does ssd or hdd mean?

  • SSD means Solid State Drive, HDD means Hard Disk Drive, HDD is in move if not every computer made so far, SSD has recently surfaced. Use Wikipedia to gain further insight into SSD and HDD

  • id say linux is but they are both very nice because they are already on it and the laptop itself is nice because it has just about everything

  • Thankyou for your review. I planned to buy one in 2 weeks and I sure will be getting one now.

  • Hi,

    If i got the basic model with linux woudl i be able to put Xp on it, and what comes after XP can you upgrade to vista, and 7????

  • I doubt it. Most computers that come with XP nowadays (and there is another model with XP which you should get if that is what you want to use) do so because of limited specs.

  • พูดไรว่ะมั่วชิปหาย

  • The New Aspire One, 160gig, 6 Cell just came out on Amazon in white for $399...u know that's not gonna last long!!!!

  • i have mine and i love it.. i got the xp 1g and 120 hard drive.. its lovely and sweet..

  • Just got my !20gb linux version 2day and installed xp on it. All I can say is this thing rocks. Use vlc to play videos, as I tried quick time is was a little jumpy. Vlc was as smooth as a babys bottom

  • okay, here is the thing i was expecting a review, not some one reading the back of the shipping box, sry but i have to say this is not really an informative review nor is it a preview...

  • take it from someone hoo has had one

    they suck!

    mine wouldn turn on, so im gonna try to sell it to some fool who think they work :P

    plse, dont waste your money, though it is temoting

    hope u foollow this info :)

  • If it wouldnt turn on, im guessing it was a defect.did you exchange it or just returned it.

  • you're an idiot.

    if it doesn't work send it back, it's not a reflection on the features of the laptop.

    it's like saying, "my bmw didn't start, so bmws suck".

    you sound like a retard.

  • Hi, does anyone know if the divx playback runs smoothly ? I am thinking of getting one of these and running VLC to play videos.

    Cheers.

  • darkwave,

    are you sure about the new one having a dvd drive? I've read a lot of reviews about the new one and none of them mention the capacity for an internal optical drive of any kind.

  • I called Acer...their new 160gig, 6-cell will be out the end of the month, Oct.31st and will arrived in stores (Best Buy, Fry's, Circuit city) couples days later for $399...This the Acer everybody is waiting for...u get more than the Dell Mini 9

  • I just got mine today, so far I like it a lot. keys are a bit hard to get used to but overall, I give it a 9/10

  • I actually just purchased the white and XP version (with 120GB hard drive) yesterday and it should arrive in my hands soon. From what I know about Aspire One so far, I'd say that it's rather surprisingly good in many aspects. I've gone to stores and got my hands on to some demos and it was absolutely brilliant. Best thing is that it only costs less than CA$400, which is great! Acer is sure starting to step into the scene seriously lately and I am starting to adore their products. :)

  • he was saying they dont put the buttons on the right and left side of the trackpad, but i have seen one mini ntebook with it on either sides, i forget wich one tho :(

  • she's totally dominating this guy

  • its limpus linux, which doesnt support web n walk internet!

  • gay music

  • how is this windows xp? it doesnt look anything like it

  • That's Linux they are demonstrating.

  • Its not 80gb its 120gb which is on the xp version, he got i wrong

  • Sent is back 3 times???? What was the problem?

  • Who ever came up with the idea to make the border of the screen glossy black needs to be shot. This thing should have been 100% white.

  • some one reply to this: has anyone had one of these for more than a month with no problems?

  • I have one for 4 months now, had to send it back 3 times already, hardly got a change to play with it.

  • It's a Linux, isn't it? can you make it Windows?

  • You can buy either one, you get to chose Windows or Linux, they have both OS so you can have your pick
