Cool Stuffs Review

I bought this tiny netbook mainly to serve as the monitor for my vehicles' GPS. These little 4" or 5" or whatever GPS thingies are too small for me (even though I am only 5'6") so I opted for this handy laptop.

Performance: good for a midget computer
Keyboard: almost normal size, very good
Battery life: superb
Display: see below - unacceptable, and that is what it's all about, you gotta SEE what is going on, NOT GUESS folks!
Video watching: faultless; no frame jerking or such

In my cars that's where the troubles begin: Even on a cloudy day I can only hypothesize a picture on the screen! In my house it is acceptable; take the thing to a rather dark room - the extremely glossy picture is fine, but lift the window blinds and voilà, you can't see no nothing nix nada zilch zero. Thanks heaven the GPS program tells me loud and early enough where to turn into which street etc. Yo I feel like I'd fly on audio LIFR (Low/Limited Instrument Flight Rules). OK.

Now on to the aspect ratio: neither fish nor flesh, i.e. not 4:3 or 16:10 (16:9 is for TVs) but something in between.

Sob and sigh... But I am too lazy to send the unit back.

Conclusion: a fine little fast enough machine with superb battery life, recommendable for use at home, in the coal storehouse or at the bar, but definitely not for use outside or in a vehicle.

One more fact: the little Acer is well suited for CSI as the very best finger-print collector I have ever seen. Am I framed now?Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.
