First, the review above by T Orkun in the most complete review I have ever read, dont miss it. I too got a larger battery and very impressed with this netbook. I have VERY large hands and have had some trouble with the smaller keys through I have now gotten used to them. Dell had done a better job with the keyboard so I ordered a mini 10v. What a pile of junk.
I sent it back the next day. There is no comparison in quality between this acer one and the mini 10 or 10v.I believe this the best netbook for the money.My only complaint is I dont care for red color inside the netbook but its not a big deal. I bought a cheapo usb bluetooth module and it works well with my Razer mouse.
The track pad does work well despite the stiff buttons.
I bought a 320gb and replaced the standard hdd some I can dual boot xp and Ubuntu 9.04 which works perfectly.
I have a more expensive notebook but I find myself using this more than the notebook. While I have not used every netbook I highly recommend the Acer One for the Quality and Value. Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

The machine works good, and Internet hookup is instant (compared to my friend's netbook of another brand, "3 letters"). Only drawback is the quality of the screen - kind of blurry even when the manufacturer was stating that the machine has LED backlighting (the same friend's machine has an awesome screen)Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

Consumer Reports gave the Acer Aspire One high marks and that was enough for me. I an completely pleased with my selection of of this netbook. Since the keyboard is obviously not full-sized, I'm making occasional typos but I'm sure my skill level will increase over time. That's my issue not an issue with the Acer Aspire One. I purchased a Logitech wireless mouse and a Netgear wireless router. My netbook was immediately responsive to both. I also purchased a two-year extended warranty that covers accidents. I'm three-weeks into using my new toy and I have no complaints at all.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.

This computer is an amazing value for the money! It's attractive, relatively lightweight, and great for doing the basics when you're away from your regular computer.

I prefer Windows Vista over XP and actually installed it on this machine. Vista works really well on this machine once you delete some of the unnecessary programs that are running on startup by default. The battery life does seem to diminish with Vista though. I was getting around 8 hours of computer time with XP and am now getting around 5 with Vista. Still not too shabby!

I'd like to give this computer 4.5 starts but the option isn't offered, so I'm giving it only four. My reasons for not giving 5 stars are:

1) it seems heavy for its size. I am changing this computer for a Toshiba Portege ultra-light/thin that is larger yet weighs less. The Acer must be made of heavier materials than the Toshiba, but will hopefully be better quality too (the Toshiba's plastic cover is a nightmare and has broken twice).

2) it would be great if the computer were available with Windows Vista. I had to purchase the program, which cost me extra money.

3) the cover, while attractive, shows every smudge and never looks clean. This computer may be great for law enforcement people since criminals who use it will definitely leave their fingerprints behind!

4) the keyboard is VERY small and takes some getting used to. It's way too easy to hit the touchpad and mess up whatever you're working on. I'm actually going to buy an external keyboard and mouse since this accidental touching is driving me nuts.

5) I wish it had more RAM, especially since I'm running Windows Vista on it.

I had a tough time deciding between this model and the 8.9" but must say that I'm thrilled that I chose this one. I can't imagine typing on anything smaller than this.

Overall, this is a great little machine and you can't go wrong, especially at this price! Also, it's a conversation piece - every single time I use it people comment on it, and are under the impression it must've been *very* expensive. Knowing that it was such a bah-gain makes me enjoy the machine even more! ;-)

I have had this netbook for about a week and I love it, and everyone I have shown it to wants one. As many other reviews noted, you are purchasing this for the portability not the speed. I upgraded the RAM to 2G (the Mushkin chip noted in other reviews) and the speed is acceptable. I am writing this to add some "geek" info lacking in other reviews - most users will not find the info below useful. Before making this purchase, I researched the Atom N270 ship and read it supports Hyperthreading and Virtual Machine extensions. Because it supports Hyperthreading, it appears as a "dual core" CPU in task manager and device manager; this is just a quirk of these tools and it is in fact a modern single core processor. Most computers that have chips that support the Virtual Machine extensions have a BIOS parameter enabling or disabling this feature, and usually default it to "disabled". The BIOS on this machine does not have this functionality, and it is in fact disabled and therefore unavailable to the 1% of users (like me) who would make use of this feature. I ran Windows XP in a VM (I use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007) and it worked perfectly. However when I tried to run Ubuntu in a VM, it got stuck in GRUB and would not boot. This is no big deal but it is a disappointment. I did not try the VMWare product yet.

I found a small wireless mouse is preferable to the pad, but the
pad is acceptable.

Overall I recommend this netbook.
