Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new 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).

Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a an extra-large digital audio library of and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.

Memory
The 1 GB of installed RAM (512 MB onboard memory and one 512 MB DIMM, 533 MHz) can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM,

Screen, Video and Audio
The 10.1-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments.

This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers.

Acer Aspirer One Review
 
Review Date: July 17, 2010
Reviewer: Lynne Baker, Eufaula, AL, US
This is the worst laptop I have ever owned or used.....problems with every aspect of the machine and had a difficult time with customer support through Acer! Thanks goodness Amazon gave me a refund! NEVER BUY THIS LAPTOP!!!!!
New Acer not working out of the box
 
Review Date: July 16, 2010
Reviewer: Donald L. Desper, Aniak, AK
We bought this computer and it was delivered promptly by Amazon. Out of the box, the wireless network card did not work. We contacted Acer and they sent us suggestions to fix the thing for 3 days including reformatting the hard disk, reinstalling all software, uninstalling the wirless driver and reinstalling it just to mention a few. Finally, they suggested we send it to a repair center in Texas where it is now and we haven't heard anything from them for over a week now. I don't think that a consumer should be responsible for making a computer work when it is bought new with a warranty. Acer even told us that we had to pay the one way shipping to get it to the repair center. I suggest buying something other than Acer products due to the problems we have had with consumer support and the fact that the computer did not work properly out of the box.
Died after 1 yr 3 months

well, it started with clicking sounds, then after few months, it died on me! I guess it could be what 1 out of 5 products that it would die on u?! the rating is based on the durability of the product which is not long.
Acer products no good?
 
Review Date: July 5, 2010
Reviewer: Heather,
Okay I bought the Acer Aspire Netbook AOD150 and it was pretty good for as long as it worked. One day I opened it up and although the green charge light was on, it would not turn on. Thought the battery was dead, bought a new one (80.00 ouch) and that did not help it. I look on internet and there are plenty of things about this problem. Read about bios flash for a fix, but the instuctions do not match the file that Acer allowed me to download from their bios section. So, *sigh* after less than year it seems to be junk.

Should have known, we bought a nice Acer desktop which only lasted 2 years before it died. What ever happened to the old days when a computer worked until it was so out of date you had to buy a new one?

I lways thought Acer was a good compay but I won't buy another. This bios thing, if its really what is wrong, is way too hard of a fix for a new computer.

Don't buy Acer.

My husband's Dell has been perfect....
Worked fine for one year, customer service worthless
 
Review Date: July 5, 2010
Reviewer: Colin McLarty, Chardon, OH USA
Mine worked fine for one year, and today no apparent reason refuses to boot (Windows logo comes up as usual, then the screen goes blank, and stays that way). Customer service suggested a "power reset" which had no effect. Now they say for $99 plus shipping plus parts plus further charges to be determined they may or may not be able to fix it, taking some undetermined amount of time. Not a bet I am willing to take.
