Good:  Very inexpensive. Multiple storage options. Six-cell battery available. Intuitive Linux interface. Second SD slot for storage expansion. Intel Atom platform.
Bad:  Mouse buttons are adjacent to the touchpad. Keyboard is smaller than the competition.
Bottomline:  Since it first debuted, the One has added several options like a 10-inch screen, numerous hard drive choices, and a 6-cell battery, while keeping its price competitive with the rest of the field....

Abstract:  As you walk around town you cant help but notice a horde of people using tiny book-sized laptops. They are using them for surfing the Interwebs, typing up OO.o documents, and e-mailing clients. Netbooks, ultra-portables, mini-laptops, whatever y...

Abstract:  The Acer Aspire One cuts a pretty good figure. Price wise, it is definitely an interesting alternative as this Linux-based pocket-sized machine that can be used on the go almost anywhere (until the battery runs out 2.5 hours later) retails for only $3...

Good:  Neat and Organized interface, Attractive, Decent selection of built-in applications.
Bad:  There is a lag at times, No package manager, Default player does not support DivX video format, Wi-fi connectivity.
Bottomline:  More and more Netbooks seem to be bundled with Windows XP nowadays, as the first-gen Netbooks werent powerful enough to run XP smoothly. This is a major disadvantage because Linux worked even on low powered machines. Also, to keep the pricing low, it...

Bottomline:  Acers price point for the One places it in the midst of some interesting devices and dangerously close to impulse buy territory. With a new suggested retail price of $329 (for versions with a 120GB mechanical hard drive), the Aspire One will be a low-...

Good:  One of the Smallest Netbooks on the Market, Ability to Use Multiple SD Cards for Extra Storage Space, Relatively Low Cost
Bad:  Linux OS Difficult to Add Applications To, Poor Trackpad Layout, Smaller Three Cell Batter Gives it Shorter Run Time
Bottomline:  8/18/08 - With the escalating costs of many netbook systems, it is a relief to see the Acer Aspire One offering a very compact and well priced portable. While it may not have the Windows XP operating sytem and relatively limited battery life, its solid...

Good:  Attractive, slim design; big keyboard for such a small system; affordable.
Bad:  Only 512MB of RAM limits performance; wimpy battery life; no Bluetooth.
Bottomline:  The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal. Specifications: Processor: Intel Atom (1.6 GHz); RAM installed: 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM; Weight: 2.2 lbs; See ful...

Bad:  Only 8GB of storage; three-cell battery has short life; vexing touch pad
Bottomline:  Acers entry into the netbook market, the Aspire One, makes good use of its Linux OS, but its specs arent as good as some of the competition. ...

Good:  Fast boot time, Small footprint, Good-size keyboard, Easy-to-use Linux OS
Bad:  Limited storage space, Cannot add applications easily
Bottomline:  Mini-notebooks are getting bigger and more elaborate by the day, but Acer enters the crowded market with a simple yet solid miniature laptop for only $379. The Aspire one sports a classic look and its Intel Atom processor gives it a decent amount of po...
