[xAndrewxFilmsxx14]

would you consider this to be a good computer to edit videos? I'm a brickfilmer, so I was just wondering. I'm always on the go with my brother

[maggie22marti]

[loginstrength]

[boog33100]

[MsCutiepie483]

[AndreaRox02]

[Zombies123Die]

1 person wants a desktop

[jungiejg]

this guy is to excited

[firedudeice]

im useing mine right now :P

[mfsmmj2006]

how much?

[Ryguy1244]

what is the program that can take video/picture that came pre installed on this computer?

[Nfordmann]

if u put 2 gigs of ram would vids run smoother

[blastofo]

ive been using this bad boy since it was first introduced and sold at best buy for $229. its my main computer now, and i turn on my desktop a couple times a month at the most. this thing rocks. good enough performance for web surfing, so light weight and comfortable to use on the couch or in bed, and the 6 cell battery lasts and lasts.

[firedudeice]

@blastofo mine was 300 dollars at future shop... :(

[blastofo]

@firedudeice its still worth 3 bills. mine just happen to be on sale and i bought it before they sold out.

[mythicalness]

The only thing that bugs me is how companies use that ugly glossy plastic on all consumer laptops nowadays.

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

can someone make a vid on how to play games on this since people got other netbooks to work with games like GMOD flawlessly

[cutelittotiffx3]

can u have limewire skpee and itunes on this?

[firedudeice]

@cutelittotiffx3 My gateway netbook(witch looks way better than the one in the vid) came with skype and it runs perfectly (Y)

[Jeronimocast]

hey friend where can i get the drivers? if the system colapse? :S

i install w7 then but i need some drivers

[thomas123miley]

is there any way to insert dics's?

[BehindTheLight99]

It only has one RAM slot? What type of RAM does it take?

[Silverpup78]

i would have taken the battery out before pulling the hd out or the memory. good vid thou

[splice247]

the video is laggy because flash is rendered through the cpu and barely and gpu, so that crappy atom is only a single core and thats why netbooks ant the greatest for flash videos, but my netbook has a celeron duel core and can play standard without buffering, and hd usually without buffering, but nice vid

[RAIDERFAN109]

NICE REVIEW! One of the best i've seen! I just orderd this, and am awaiting arrival from UPS! (=

[chris8sirhc]

acer is amazing they own Gateway And eMachines you cant stop them

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

so Acer own gateway? I thought it was the other way around, but i might be wrong.

[koolie86]

it looks ugly with the battery on the back

[LANTICA]

love mine. had it for a couple of days. very nice net book. looking to install 2gb ram soon since it being so simple. Know any place on were to get it cheap but good quality? Thanks nice review.

[Spectzaa]

You can't have a descent opinion about a netbook if you only have it for a few days...sigh

[kellyled]

I have this netbook. I got it at Best Buy and paid around around $350. I've had it over 6 weeks or so. I recently purchased an external DVD to load Windows 7. Overall, I am very satisfied with the machine. It is lightweight with decent battery. I travel very often and it is a dream working with on the planes. I'm eagerly awaiting for Delta to initiate it's system wide wi-fi which will really make netbooks the way to go

[Spectzaa]

You can't have a descent opinion about a netbook if you only have it for about 6 weeks...sigh

[vasedeny]

hi dude!

how long can u use it on battery???

on linux??? :D (maybee +1 hour)

[rseidman]

Great if you can comment on how to install Win7 and Gateway drivers from a WinXP original OS. Thanks.

[Rangerscott69]

The battery on this will swap with the Acer D250's series.

I have the Acer D250-1156 and this gateway and they are the same since Acer owns gateway.

[Fr6]

how much is this piece of crap

[timmah1588]

More then you can afford... ferrari! (revs engine)

[buccaneersboy39]

smoke em

[dmc081]

i got the same laptop i like it it's pretty good for on the go i had the acer 2gb surf w/ linux installed witch was the first netbook that came out i think 3 or 4 years ago oh by the way that was funny on 0:07 lol

[Disneyclassics009]

it doesn't have room for a dvd? :(

[jrinco11]

it's a netbook, not a laptop - it's not supposed to have a built in optical drive

[mikeye1984]

@jrinco11

hey Jrinco11,

nice review. this netbook is very good.

do you happen to know how to swap out the built in wifi card and replace it with another mini pcie wifi card. on the back of the netbook, there's an empty space next to the ram section, under the microsoft coa. may i just put another mini wifi card? happy holiday.

[maluboy08]

@jrinco11 I believe that there are a few netbooks that have an optical drive but most don't

[rike1175]

@jrinco11 actule a lot of net books have dvd drives

[MrBasementJams]

@rike1175

actually pretty much none of them do. thats WHY THEYRE CALLED NETBOOKS! not just normal laptops. theyre different. the difference is they dont have a dvd cd drive. bam shazam!

[bat5002]

@Disneyclassics009 but u can get a external one they r not that expensive

[xAndrewxFilmsxx14]

@Disneyclassics009 but you can buy a USB thing that you can use to put in disks. I forget what it's called but look it up on walmart in accessories

[cartman7610]

have this and just installed win 7 ultimate on it works good with some tweaks. w/1GB ram

If the wifi light is annoying install win 7 it it doesnt blink when accessing the net...

[eaferraz]

What was that grab at 0:07 ?? LoL Great review!

[JasonFlittner]

Just so you know the opening on the bottom to the right of the RAM opening is not the wireless, it is an open Mini PCIe slot!!

Thanks,

Jason Flittner

[dmc081]

now in days we don't really use pcie slots it's slowly fading

[SuperDjAlien]

Thanks for the review thinking about getting but one question is this one the factory 1GB ram? If not is it easy to ugrade to a 2Gb? Thanks

[SHUNT311]

great review, its between this or a compaq 110c. what do you think?

[dmc081]

this because i had bad lucks w/ compaq

[RsRap1dz1]

nice camera, im getting one for x-mas

[MarionDaBarbarian240]

Could yu download Oovooon this?

[JayEmEfEntertainment]

How do YouTube videos run on this?

[Warewolf943]

They should work decently, Hulu works :)

[dmc081]

good

[lianglqufo]

great review~~I was wondering how long can the battery last??

[Warewolf943]

Up to 7 hours :)

[jrinco11]

I get an average of 5hrs 36min with 2/10 brightness, wifi on - you can of course get more by turning it down to 1/10 and no wifi

[Warewolf943]

Yay, my dad bought one for me in the US yesterday! :D

[MusclecarsMeditation]

good review!
