  • i have one. it is really slow.

  • i have one no you cannot put cds in the netbook

  • The Macbook Air is better case closed.

  • is this good for playing computer games on

  • @TNTslayer1997 Its a netbook...

  • Please mention the model in the title. There are hundreds of "Aspire one" models with totally different specs.

  • this thing beat ipad ass anyday anytime

  • I have netbook with windows 7, 160GB HDD 1,98GHZ processor, 1GB ram. 10.1" screen. Almost full sized keyboard

  • dude this thing's awesome! i got mine today and i'm using it right now. i gotta say that it's a pretty good deal for it's size and quality. mine's pretty fast and it also came with windows 7.

  • @XhmOngSouLjax hey, i also use this model. why a i nt able to download skype or any applications ?

  • its slow as hell

  • ummmm I would go for a macbook air instead

  • @Airking11 macbook air is so thin when you pick it up feels like your going to break it..i thought i was gonna break one at apple store

  • @darkertree it's pretty durable, just like the macbook pro, it's just thinner and the price of it is not so bad either 999 for a super thin macbook is not bad at all....I dun care much for pc's or netbooks at all

  • Hi. I'm looking to get a netbook.

    I need it solely for Word and Downloading loads of music.

    Which is the best one available for around £200 / $400?

    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • @BIGGERLebowski i would say this one... i mean its the most popular of all netbooks.

  • why does the douche in the red keep looking at the camera. CREEPER. thx for the review tho!

  • 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.

  • could you put ms office 2010 on here if you get an external optical cd/dvd drive?

  • My sister is getting this and shes only 7 years old!!...

  • @messi10zidane5 cool, finally, atleast some parents know that vtech toys suck

  • i bougt mine 2 years ago, which looks the same as this one on screen, and it was about 780 levs in my country (Bulgaria). Thats about 400 euro, but it's way better than that peace which tey're showing. It has 16o GB hard drive 1,5 GB RAM an its running Windows XP perfectly...with skype and everything :-)

  • this guyz are retarded i have this netbook. it has about 8 hours of battery not 2! also it takes very little time for it to boot up. this is a great netbook and its only 299 at most stores

  • @jakee901

    depends,2-3 hours are 3 cell battery netbooks, yours is probably 6 cell thats why you got 8 hours + battery life

  • I bout the linpus one which was about £50 cheaper than the windows one. and installed windows xp on it. It's a nice buy i suppose. £250 2008 ^^ first one burnt out and had to be fixed >.>

  • i am using one right now .lol . it worth it

  • is this worth it, as far as speed and webbrowsing?

  • yes its longlife because it doesnt havebuiltin cd/dvd drive fu connect d usb drive it will drain battery life quickly + u carry arount withit dabgling usbcables opticaldrive+ac adapter fur not a cd/dvd user really then this tiny computer is really very fantastic than a full weighted laptop it can perform like bigheavy laptops but weighs like a box of munchkins donut

  • I know little to nothing about computers, but were I to purchase this at a local store, would it come installed with an operating system (I'm looking for Windows 7 or Vista)? Also, were I to install Skype &/or iTunes on it, would it considerably slow down the speed of its task completions or distort them? If anyone could answer my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

  • how much does it cost in canadian dollars?

  • i have it and its really nice if someone want to buy it don't wait just buy it !!! i give it 5/5

  • @playstation1331 can u put i tunes or some shit like that on it

  • @009Tactics yea u can

    im on mine rite now and this thing is amazing and will last a while

    ive had mine for a year and like 2 months and its still going strong

  • i have this netbook but i downloaded windows 7 and its super fast i only cost $255

  • @ipodtouch20045 i got vista

  • why do english people always review things its annoying

  • OI BLOIDDY HELL

  • I've just bought this exact one, in blue - haven't touched my laptop since - anyone know if you can get a power lead for it to run it from the cigarette lighter in your car?

  • @TheSkyScanner Well what I use is a Home Adapter for Cars. Plug it in and I can plug in anything that uses the AC plug (Standard US/Canada outlets) And it works too. I THINK I got it from Wal-Mart

  • @Sudsmcduff96 .....Thanks, I'll have a look round the net and see if I can get one of them!

  • mine came with 220gb and 1gram! woot

  • black t-shirt guy is very informative, thanks! orange sweater guy is quite entertaining.

  • I got the same one, except its red and i'ts got almost three hours.

  • PRAGUE CZECH ME OUT! :D Awesome t-shirt mate.

  • Mine is of the first generation ZG5 it's screen is 8.9 width. I'm very pleased of what this little machines can do, I'm running my movies in H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) for a 712x368 movie very smoothly using VLC 1.0.5, since it has a VGA port I connect it to my 55" LCD Tv and it looks great. The AAC MP4 audio codec sounds great, so it's perfect to store a movies library in your house.

  • I play many games on mine, it can play some great stuff

  • there pretty awesome, accept there for internet and work, not for games.

  • @eightbraker You're actually wrong, if you search for Acer Aspire One Gaming in youtube you can see it can play many different games in mid-low resolution settings. Playing World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3 is a beauty, to install these games I used a 16GB SDHC card, mine Aspire One has two SD Slots so I can run games directly from SD cards without installing on hard drive.

  • are there different kinds of this net-book? mine is a lot different and yes im sure its an aspire one

  • I love my Acer Aspire One Netbook! I got it on sale and it is a great bargain & works great. It has also been easy to use. It is a good computer for a back up to a larger notebook, a teen's (or anyone) first computer, or anyone on a tight budget,or if you travel alot.

  • MULTITASKING? USB? ehemmm lol netbook ftw! XD

  • Aspire one is a awsome netbook, i had mine for a while now and its great!

  • See the problem is I live in Belgium so its quite a long and pricy trip to get a laptop =P

    BTW the Samsung NC10 cost here 219 Euros with the 6 cell battery

  • Need some help which netbook should I take?

    Acer Aspire D250 ( Win 7 + 250Gb Hdd)

    Asus EEE pc 1005HA (Win 7 +160 Gb)

    What I want to do on it : Play some older games (CSS, Wolfenstein ET ( don't know if this works), browsing and chat on MSN

    THX!

  • n the same situation as u - trying to decide which to get so far I think I mwill go with the Acer Aspire One... what about u?

  • I think about taking the N110 with XP and 6 cell battery it goes like 7 hours with Wifi and surfing

    the acer doest have that much battery live, but it has 250Gb and win7

    But i think i'll take the N110

  • I need a netbook that has firewire, at least 2gb of ram, and at least 1024x768 (don't care if it's compressed). Just need it for one or two DJing programs. What would you recommend?

  • I recommend buying a computer with specifications greater to or equal to those that you stated you needed.

    HURR DURRRR...................

  • Any specific makes and models?

  • @ccricers I'd get the Acer one from wal mart with a $40 upgrade, which gives you an extra gb of ram and some other cool stuff

  • 1:06 - 1:19 Guy holds hand up! A NEW WORLD RECORD! ! !

  • you should get the full size one. its like 18 something inches in screen and keyboard

  • The guy on the right looks like jason segel...

  • how much is 230 pounds in us dollars

  • your stupid...just type "230 pounds to dollars" in google.

  • shut up faggot

  • Comment removed

  • i have enough money btw i can buy what i want

  • im using one right now.. its fast good keyboard too.. alright ramm.. u might wanna buy more gigs for it because it runs out like mine fast

  • i have one too im using it right now but the thing that sucks is the speakers are on the bottom so its really hard to hear with it.

  • same here..

  • Wonderful information - THanks everyone

  • is the acer aspire netbook good for runescape?

  • Windows 95 is good for runescape

  • @catolupus runscape is gay

  • @catolupus how and why

  • netbook-addicts,com is good for user reviews.

  • thanks,its a nice web~~~

  • can u download a video editor if u get a big enough memo card?

  • I dont care for the OS and the CPU (atom) really slow and would highly recommend uploading Ubuntu 9.04, or the other newer versions of Ubuntu. XP is okay, but does run a lot slower than Ubuntu 9.04. (you would need an Op Drive (dvd rom) for this install.)

    On the downside the motherboard does not allow you to change the CPU, its one of those "if it breaks chuck it deals!" If your going to get a Mini.I would shop around.Acer 90% of the time cheaper but not really same proformace as the others.

  • I have it but it came in XP and I put 7 on it, also mine has 1 GB of ram and 120 GB of hard drive, it has a intel atom processor, but it looks exactly like that.

  • great point... Make sure you get a large HDD instead of the crappy 8GB...vista requires at least 15 gb... 1gb ram smoothly run the OS, not sure if the video/graphics card would handle it, but for the 32 bit version i do not see why not!

  • mine has XP too, and my mouse button is one giant bar under the touch pad for both right and left clicking. does yours have the side buttons they were talking about?

    what color did you get? :D

  • Mine has the side buttons and its blue

  • i cant go on ebay i need it from england and a shop i can totally rely on

  • hi there can any1 tell me where i can get a really cheap netbook? i really need it under 100 quid buh 150 alright plz new

    thanks jokabrer122

  • Ebay...

  • this laptop sucks...really slow and i hated that the keys are sooooooo small and no op drives or big HDD. I took it back and built my own

  • well of course it doesn't have a optical drive. Netbook's aren't meant for CD's and DVD's. They're meant for Web browsing and chatting

  • So far i've been using my *Cell Phone* when I can't get access to a PC.

    I mostly do "Net-Centric" stuff like Email, web browsing, forum posting and chatting.

    As long as this device will be an upgrade from my Cell phone running Opera Mini 4.2, it'll be a great investment..

  • Ok I got just a few questions about these. Im gonna be getting one for Christmas and I wanna know it they are worth it. I want to be able to do school on it, on FLVS. (FLVS is my online school.) Would I be able to download MSN on it? Is it able to play games like Funorb, runescape, etc. If not, would I be able to give it a better video card or anything? I'm getting an hp one. It's about $300. Is it worth buying for what I want? and does it come with Microsoft word and all that? plz reply. thx:D

  • the new one for acer has 160 gb harddrive :)

  • Would that be able to do the stuff I want? nd how much is it?

  • it does skype and can :) im using it to comment to u right now lol

  • it doesnt come with microsoft word and all that but you can easily do msn on it and a bonus is that it has a built in webcam and it should easily be able to do runescape and fun orb. It is definately worth it. (I'm getting one tonight)

  • Are you able to get Microsoft word on it, though?

  • Well, I have the Window's XP Version with 1.5gb RAM. It runs everythign you mentioned above and more, you wont have any problems with the games you've mentioned as i can run WoW on mine.

  • Ok im looking to buy a navy blue acer netbook at my local wal-mart. It has a webcam and is running vista home. It has 2gb ram and a 250gb hard drive. It is 348$...is it worth it? oh and it has a 11.6 lcd screen. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sounds good, but i personally dont like vista it drains alot of the performance. But at the end of the day it depends on what you want the netbook for.

  • Mostly just internet you cant really do any gaming on it

  • Yes

  • Yeah that sounds great however i would think about putting Window's XP on it, Mainly because you'll get better performance out of it.

  • @molbs5859 Hell ya!im on an acer aspire one right now,it has windows 7 starter ,a webcam , and a mic! it can also read SD cards and add files to ur SD! Full Wifi GREAT for 720p HD videos and has 136GB in space! ITs SOOOOOO Worth it!!!!!!!!!

  • @molbs5859 yes that is pretty good

  • @molbs5859 im buying the same one, but at my local walmart it is only $250. Anyway, yours might have different memory i think its worth it.

  • @molbs5859 i think its worth it

  • @molbs5859 yup its obviosly worth it. its also worth it becuase i think you probably already bought it lol

  • @molbs5859 No its not worth it cause i got one for christmas and not even two years of having it i got what most people call the "black screen of death" if your looking at computers or laptops stay away from Acer

  • I have the Version with XP home. Comes with 1.3 megapixel webcam. bluetooth. WiFi. 160GB Hard drive. It was $273.00USD.

    For anyone who was wondering about that.

  • I got mine today for $299.99 =D

  • Does Anyone Know Where The CMOS Is In An Acer Aspire 2720 ? Cant Find It

    Help

  • Prague Czech it Out

    Prague...capital of the Czech republic...

    wow I´m from the Czech republic...

    BTW: realy helpfull video...

  • can u put msn on it???

    this will be a massive plus and a selling point for me if it does

  • Theres an XP version available - its more expensive, but well worth it to avoid the cheapass Linux OS

  • Or you could just chuck XP on it yourself from a USB drive

  • Linux is leaps and bound ahead of windows, why on earth would you want windows if you had a choice.

  • compatibility.

    ease of use

    compatibility

    not having to read instructions to install basic software like skype

    compatibility

    besides the version of linux that comes with these is second rate even for linux.

    Linux is good in a big business, not for home users.

  • yes

  • No. You can't put MSN on a Linux machine.

  • Lol? I don't have my netbook right now, so Google it, there is everything on Linux skype,msn and so on.

  • I'm getting a pink one in 10 days I cant wait! I live in Ireland and I got mine in Power city for 100 euro!!! :)

  • is it the a150? i payed 180 euro for a150 getting it from uk

    for f**k sake

  • yo on THE commercial they said that it was 199.99

  • annual mark up is 40 percent so add another 80 dollars to that  because stores have to make moeny and then tax before the tax (the money they add because the goverment makes them) so wa lah 330$

  • lol thanz cuz i was like confused

  • How much is 230 pounds in canadian I have one i bought it for 350$ canadian...

  • :( i wanted this with xp pro from amazon but so many people complain about the screen cracking or messing up and how it cant watch vids so i guess  i wont get it

  • a terrible pc...crap battery life....poor warranty and overall your better off forking out an extra couple od hundred and getting a laptop with a cd drive and a lot better specs. this laptop is absloute rubbish

  • Comment removed

  • can i play normal game son it? What is the difference to normal pc's? processor wise... cause i like to watch movies and play games :P and download emulators :)

  • why would you want to play GAMES ON A NETBOOK? it doesnt even have a cd/dvd drive, and has only 8GB of SSD space

    so NO

  • rofl rofl rofl havent heard of an emulator then?

    you download then off the internet, and play say for example super smash bros from nintendo, you play with the keyboard lol and is only like half a GiG

  • lolz, console games on a pc are not really games..

    emulators r for poor ppl

  • lol, im not poor i dont want to have to buy everything just for supersmash bros...

  • ok, its just my opinion. and srry for my previous comments, i was kinda pissed this afternoon

  • NETBOOKS arent gaming computers, theyre for checking your email, using the web, small internet related stuff, if you want a gaming laptop a netbook isnt for you

  • I know... useless comment

  • yes you can, check out my videos, i actually play counter strike and daytona usa on my Asper Aspire One.

  • Just recently mine spontaniously quit working, and their tech support is terrible. It has a year long warrenty but they seem to be waiting for that to expire before they will talk to me. It was great for the month or two that it worked properly though.

  • juat got mine today,

    specs:

    1.6 ghz ATOM

    160 gb hard drive

    1 gig of ram

    blue color

    win xp

  • that's what I want to get. at staples $299

  • yep, same as mine

    it's a good little computer

    (much better than macbook air) lol

  • the cheapest i've seen one for was $225! for the xp one! coolio

  • sweet!

  • at either HH-gregg or meijer's, forgot which

  • Just like mine! How do you like it?

  • it's a very good little computer to take with me on the go (not for editing obviously)

  • u can get vista for acer

  • how much is a 6 cell battery

  • can you connect a portable disk drive to a netbook and have it work?

  • yes on most of them i think

  • i am watching this vid on a aspire one and it has skype, no hacks.

  • Comment removed

  • my windows vista operating system is way faster than xp its home premium

  • good review.

    I think you need the xp version to have skype. I THINK

  • ooma is a lot better than skype.

    no need computer. it is just a phone device hook up to your router.

  • Nah, you can get skype for linux as well.

  • Far as I know it DOES have skype... I don't have one but there are loads of video's displaying this machine using Skype - and those aren't hacks, or at least they don't seem or claim to be. Was Skype employed at some stage with the Limpus?

  • faggot uk

  • No Skype?! DEAL BREAKER :(

  • I'm guessing you can't use flash on a netbook

  • of course it is xp. The 1.6 intel atom processor and (1)gig of ram would not be able to handle the amount of processing speed that a vista requires. It would slow everything down. On the contrary, xp is lighting fast, and allows for the user to enjoy his/or her's netbook while still being able to run their favorite apps or games without lag. Linux is good too, but its just foreign to most people, and can't run many programs on it like xp could.

  • does it hav word answer me
