Intel Atom Processor: Your PC's Perfect Internet Companion

Take the Internet to more places with the long battery life and flexibility of a compact, lightweight netbook powered by the incredibly small, amazingly smart Intel Atom processor. It features a design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Sleek, Eye-Catching Design Matched with Highly Functional Additions

The Acer Aspire One AOD250 has been designed to be even more streamlined than its predecessors--whittling down the depth to just one inch thin and shaving the weight down to just under 2.8 pounds. The sleek aerodynamic design includes elegant touches such as the color-rich chassis along with the metallic hinge with a colored accent.

It also uses a clever Multi-Gesture Touchpad that allows you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as intuitive navigation of websites such as Google Earth. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows you to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. Finally, it features a soft-touch palm rest to increase typing comfort.

Horrible
 
Review Date: June 30, 2010
Reviewer: S. Casey,
I bought this netbook yesterday and the first time I turned it on the touchpad would not work. If I scrolled over something it would click on it for no reason. After spending an hour and a half with tech support trying to fix it, it still would not work. I plan on returning it asap. Horrible customer service and very displeased with product. Never again will I buy an acer product.

Reviewer: Lianixsabeth Rangel,
I was looking for a Netbook that you adapt to it, was looking at several brands and I liked ACER ASPIRE ONE, the memory capacity is 2 GB and the hard disk 250. Installation of Windows 7 was pretty fast, so I do not like about Windows 7 is not given the option to change the wallpaper on the keyboard is manageable compared to others. Recommend to anyone looking for a netbook at a reasonable price.
Great Netbook for the Price!
 
Review Date: May 26, 2010
Reviewer: Krista Ozarowski, Maryland
I purchased this on sale around Christmas (for $280) but it's still the same netbook. I got it for someone who had a Dell that was four years old and beginning to turn into sludge. First a few things -- I'm very computer savvy and looked around for a good two weeks to finally decide on a netbook and I was specifically looking for something that could surf the web and use MS Office if need be. I didn't need to purchase anything heavy or something with a DVD/Blu-Ray drive. This computer is awesome, just make sure you know what you're getting before you purchase. It comes with Windows 7 Starter as the operating system. If you want to upgrade to the full edition, it's going to cost you. If you do want to upgrade, I suggest looking at upgrading the memory to at least 2GB and maybe the graphics card (but that's entirely up to you). It comes with a lot of hard drive space and is quick to load up (especially if you were using something running Vista -it'll be a big change). My own laptop is a Sony Vaio Z series and is lighter than the netbook, but not by much. The netbook is smooth and speedy and comes with three USB ports. This is super convenient if you're using an external HD, an external DVD ROM, and have an ipod plugged in or something. You don't get the full version of Office, and unless you really need everything on it, I think it's better to download Open Office (from [...]) and use that instead. It's free and isn't as much a type of bloatware as office can be (it takes up a lot less memory). I'd recommend this to anyone looking to move to something more simple that needs something long lasting. The battery life on this little guy lasts at least 7-8 hours normally. Two thumbs up from me!
