This is a great little PC for the price. It is great when you are travelling. Wish it came with built in wireless data connection. I connected one from ATT and works well when travelling. Wireless WIFI works great in home, in StarBucks or other hot spots like my local library.
Here are pros-
1. Very light weight. Great for travelling.
2. Built in media card reader. We can see photos and video clips on the screen which is bigger then one in Camera. Also can see downloaded videos on media player.
3. Built in Webcam and microphone works great. My children use it to talk to Grand parents who live in other continent quite frequently. We use Skype video and it works great when network connection from both end is good. My other laptop has external Webcam and microphone and my wife hates those dangling wires.
4. I installed MS Office 7 on this pc and it works okay. Offcource I am not trying to load very big documents, so no memory or other problems.
5. My wife uses this as kitchen campanion. She watches recipes and cooking videos.
6. Web browsing and e-mails works quite well.
7. Color- eye candy light pink color is great and not available from many other brands or models.
Cons-
1. Screen is comparatively small. I press F11 key when using browser. It takes away upper bar and gives more screen space. Compared to smart devices such as iPod and similar ones (which has similar price) this is bigger screen.
2. Mouse pad is quirky. When using browser, moving finger on mouse pad suddenly zoom out the screen. This makes all fonts so small that makes it un readable. Acer should fix this problem. Very annoying one.
3. Battery lasts for me for about 1.5 hours. Need to carry extra set of battery, if taking this on longer duration flight.
4. Need to convert dvds into sd-media card, if want to watch them while travelling. This is not easy to do.

I originally was wanting to purchase a secondary laptop for college, something that would be lightweight and easy to carry to class with me.
This computer is amazingly light, I stick it right in my purse and take it everywhere with me! The specs are good and it is perfect for doing homework or surfing the internet. Of course you have to get used to the small screen and keyboard, but I got accustomed to that in about a week or so.
I honestly have no complaints about this laptop, I have had mine for about 6 months now and still use it almost every day. Of course the system is too small for an optical drive and that is understandable but doesn't take away from it's usefulness. I have a normal sized laptop to watch movies and burn DVDs but I take the little one with me so I can have the convenience of being connected 24/7.
Definitely a great buy for someone who is always on the go~ |

| I have used this netbook a couple of times a week for the past year. Runs quietly and quickly for the size. I find it perfect for reading the news or typing papers. It has enough power to stream videos, play flash games, and upload all my photos to the web. The weight is excellent for carrying around in a purse or backpack and can be used practically anywhere. I purchased a cooling fan (sized for a full size notebook rather than a netbook) and was glad I did as this little guy gets very warm. I have enjoyed this computer and expect to enjoy it for a considerable amount of time into the future. |

| I GOT MY ACER VERY FAST AFTER I PUT THE ORDER IN. ITS VERY CUTE! LOOKS DO MATTER. THE KEY BOARD TAKES SOME GETTING USE TO. I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT FITS IN MY PURSE. PERFECT FOR ON THE GO , CHECKING EMAIL AND SURFING THE WEB. I HAVE THE 6 CELL BATTERY AND IT STAYS CHARGED FOR ALMLOST FIVE HOURS. ITS FUN TO USE EXCEPT FOR USING THE SPACE BAR. IT JUST DOESNT QUITE FIT RIGHT, BUT IT IS DOABLE.I THINK THE 10 INCH WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. IT'S STILL A GREAT LITTLE COMPUTER. THE SCREEN, FOR AS SMALL AS IT IS, IS SUPER CLEAR AND SHARP COLOR. I THINK THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR STUDENTS ON THE GO. |
And it bounces

Got this for the lady wife. She has been more than happy. She sits on the couch and IMs her sister and her daughter, updates her blogs and generally has a good time with it. Seems a trifle slow, but then it IS a netbook.
She dropped it, 4' onto our ceramic tile kitchen floor. She said it "bounced". She picked it. No chips, no cracks and it works. It is the tiniest bit out of true. Does not seem to want to sit on all 4 feet. But still works and when it is in her lap she does not even notice.
Some people had wondered about the durability of Acer products. Well, if you can go by this one, I believe they are put together right well.
Have a GREAT Thanksgiving. |
