Cool Stuffs Review

I absolutely love this laptop. I am very pleased with how easy the keyboard is to use. The size does not make too much more of a difference from a standard size laptop. I really like that I can carry this with me anywhere I go and it is easy to transport. Perfect new toy for me. This is a purchase worth making. I would suggest buying it to anyone interested. Great price for what it can do. Perfect Perfect Perfect. Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

It's pretty much everything that it's advertised to be. Still getting used to the smaller keyboard, and the touch pad is fine. The mouse buttons below the touch pad are a bit difficult to use, got to hit them with some authority.
It's not loaded with much junkware (as purchased from Amazon) so most of that stuff has already been uninistalled. It comes with trial versions of McAfee and Office 2007. As well as a few other lesser programs.
HAve not yet run down the 6-cell battery but after 4 hours I still had battery left. I expect it to be close to 5 or 6 hours. I'd guess that half the unit's weight is the removable battery pack.
The only significant gripe... I like Windows XP, but the installed XP keeps hounding me to burn eight recovery disks... but obviously there's no CD burner! So I bought a USB CD/W for 35 bucks so I could install other programs. But there should be an option to backup to a flash (or other USB) drive.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

This lilght weight little laptop fits in my large purse...it's easy to drag with you anywhere. It has plenty of hard drive space and works like a charm for me. Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

I've had this computer for a week now and it is working properly so far. The reasons why I give it 4 stars: it does not come with a recovery disk (you need an external CD/DVD burner to get it), the print manual is poor, and it does not come with a sleeve. All in all, it is a decent machine for the price. I am pleased overall.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

This a great little netbook, very compact and screen is not too small. After a few weeks of using it, it wouldn't boot up. Called Acer support and had to ship it to them. It only took a week to fix. Apparently a bad LCD screen....all covered by warranty. Other than that it's great!!Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

My first Aspire One A110 (8.9" screen, SSD) died from an unfortunate accident, and after looking at most of the available netbooks in June 2009, I decided to replace it with an A150. Acer must have listened to their customers and reviewers, as almost all the faults of the original model (small battery, small screen, wonky trackpad, no access to the internals without voiding the warranty) appear to have been rectified. It's surprising how much different the A150 is from its predecessor -- about the only thing that is unchanged is the keyboard -- which is one of the best, although not the largest, in this class. The 10.1" screen has the same resolution (1024 x 600) as the 8.9" screen, but the pixels are just enough bigger that readability and usability are significantly improved.

Installing Ubuntu 9.04 alongside Windows XP was a snap, and now I have the best of both worlds. Like most computers, Windows is installed with a lot of bloatware that takes up space and slows the machine down. With the extra baggage removed, Windows performance is very acceptable. Most of the time I use Ubuntu, booting into Windows only when absolutely necessary.

I would have given the A150 5 stars, but Acer does not include a recovery disc, and the machine nags you after initial setup to create one -- which is impossible unless you have an external optical drive. The recovery disc requires 2 DVDs or 8 CDs. Beg, buy or borrow an optical drive and make the recovery discs before doing anything to Windows.

A good support community exists for the AA1 line, for both Linux and Windows.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

We gave this a one star rating because of a Microsoft problem. Our computer came with the Outlook Express Spell Check in French only. We spent all afternoon on the phone with Acer Tech Support trying to get it changed without success. We returned it to Amazon for another but it too had the same problem. Acer Tech Support tried to recover the system two different times on two days, but both times failed. If you can live without spell check, it seems like a great little computer, but because we need spell check, it is unusable for us.
