I like this netbook and don't regret my decision. Plus: It's fast. Faster than my old Pentium 4 Toshiba laptop, probably because of the newer technology because the Toshiba was a 2.8ghz and yet it's not as quick as this one. I love the portability and battery life. I sit in bed every night and surf the net, answer emails, finish my website business etc. Battery can go 2 or 3 nights without recharging. Plenty of storage: 160gb hard drive and you can add a SDHC card for backup. I use a 8GB which when full will transfer conveniently to a DD DVD. Minus: Keyboard really takes some getting used to. I have fat fingers and it's tough touch typing on the Acer unless you have the correct posture. The keyboard is however, set up conventionally so the keys are where you expect them to be. The screen is a little small for graphics. I have to add pictures to my website (I sell Pens) and it's hard to judge the quality on this machine because the screen is too small and the resolution is limited. I usually set the pics up on my 17" Toshiba and import them to the Acer over my network. You might as well go ahead and get the external DVD writer with this machine because you are going to want it. Almost impossible to load software over a network or by transferring it to another media. Todays programs are set up to run off a CD that exits on the machine. Summary: Great machine as long as you recognize the limited graphics and can live with a small but not impossibley small keyboard.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.
