Acer Aspire One A150-Bw Netbook, Windows XP Home, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB HD (Seashell White)

An excellent buy - I purchased a Windows XP version a few weeks ago, and am extremely pleased with the product. It is light, stylish, easy to use, and (for its size) powerful.If, like me, you need highly mobile IT capability, you will love this computer.My only gripe is that the included MS Office Suite is a trial version, and extra expense is required to download the full version. Still, for the price, and given the machine s portability, I am very content with the purchase.

Compact Notebook - Read some of the reviews here and to be honest was somewhat worried (bought this here before the reviews appeared) although must say have had no Problems with it thus far, its like a large calculator its that small with good screen definition.Using it to watch sky Plus with headphones around the house and read emails means we aren t fighting with the kids for PC access. doesn t have a disc drive but an external drive could be purchased if you require it, with 120gb of its own memory it should be enough for most people.Registered it with Acer and keeping fingers crossed I don t hvae the problems some others are reportingBM

Brilliant Netbook - Having lugged laptop bricks on and off planes and trains, my shoulder cried out for something that would be portable in a non-ironic, non-muscular straining sense. I bought the Linux version of the Acer Aspire intially, and whilst a brilliant inexpensive machine, the operating system didn t have driver for the built-in microphone, so my aim of recording meetings with it and the built in webcam were impossible. But I returned it to Amazon with no fuss, and upgraded to this Windows XP version.It is so light and highly connectable. I use it in meetings, on business trips, to run presentations, work in free wifi cafes, and sit in my reclining chair catching up with blogs. I use OpenOffice, Firefox and FreeMind map minding, all open source software. Whilst I enjoyed the challenge of Linux, it easier to use XP if you have any experience of it.My only problem is that it is so cool and dinky, especially in the extra red leather case I bought for it, my partner likes to take it when she goes to see clients, and catch-up in cafes. So the only conflicts I ve had are whether it is mine, hers, or ours.It is very liberating to have something you can pop into your rucksack and forget about, till you need a fully featured computer.

Not a pleasant experience - I bought this netbook about a month ago and quickly fell in love with the sleek design and colour but what it lacked in cost was soon compensated for in performance.Within three days it started freezing up soon after start up,the keys would not respond,you could move the mouse but dont expect it to respond to any imput.the only solution was to turn off the system and start all over again.imagine the annoyance when you are about to place a last minute bid on ebay. Thinking it was a one off incident i returned it, got a refund and immediately placed an order for another one.Now i m faced with the same problem again just after two days of use.I m not going to go through the pain of returning this one, i ll just save up and buy a better product.Toshiba,dell etc are not costlier for no reason.performance i ll score this netbook 2/10.
