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 digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software.

Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory.

 When I was a kid, we had to get up off the couch to change the TV channel June 7, 2010

Back then, laptop computers weighed thirty pounds. Let's see you sissy boys on your high fructose corn syrup diets try doing that without wearing Circulation Leg Wraps. Remember the Kaypro II? Looked like a prop from War Games. And like much early 1980s technology, its functionality seems almost Stone Aged now. The monitor displayed only one color (fluorescent green!). For that plus two giant floppy drives and 64K of RAM (and NO hard drive at all), my family paid almost five times what the Aspire One cost me in 2008.
I've learned my lesson: Next time I want a computer, I'll just wait twenty-five years to buy it!!!
Lest you think this review is a joke à la Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz or even Ice Hockey Puck 6 oz, let me just reiterate how pleased I am with the Aspire One which I really do own and in fact on which I am typing this review. It is durable, functional, and a great value. It also looks fantastic (in White). I still get tons of compliments, almost two years after buying it.
Built-in camera, built-in wireless card, 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB RAM, 1.60 Ghz Intel Atom chip, still over 4 hours of battery life (battery wear is 16.4% as per BatteryBar), Windows XP, multiple USB ports and card readers, and a nice widescreen display. All in all, a perfect mobile computing solution for only four hundred bucks. Wish I had the DeLorean to get back to 1983.

Very sharp! Just one problem... June 5, 2010
Nina Williams (Texas)
Note that I am reviewing a used netbook. The Acer is very sharp looking. The blue is beautiful. If blue is your fav color, go for the Sapphire Blue! The screen is excellent with brilliant colors and very sharp resolution. Fast for a netbook. Very responsive. Six cell battery gives plenty of time--over 6 hours on a single charge. The only problem I am having is with a broadband stick. Not sure at this time why the netbook won't accept it--other netbooks are. Otherwise, this would be a 5 star review.
 Problem after 18 months -gentely used ! April 21, 2010

I bought a White Aspire One netbook (8.9 inch 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom N270, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB Solid State Drive) in Sept. 08 to use while I travel only - so I probably used a total of 120 hours or so over the last 18 months. I loved it - it's light weight and booted up fast, despite the fact I don't know anything about Linux, I was happy with it. However a few weeks ago I took it out to use and found that first battery just DIED completely. Ok, that's ok I can just buy another battery. But I also got this sun/starburst shape bar (new item) that prevented me connect both wireless and wired. I googled and found a few user with similar problem without solution. After exhaustive research I finally contacted Acer via e-mail about this problem, the answer I got back was your warranty had expired and you can try to restore the system to original factory setting or to contact their service rep (for a fee) to help you. I didn't get a recovery disc with original purchase (product shipped by Amazon, not a 3rd party) so I guess either way Acer is trying to get you to pay more. Considering that I took very good care of my computer and having only `gentlely' used, this is not a bargain and Acer certain doesn't care about their users.
This is the first and only time I would own an Acer product.

As others have reported. Got 3-4 hours use per week for about 8 months, then no electrical activity whatsoever. Did not get exposed to voltage spike (was unplugged). Not worth fixing, now a paperweight.
Better than expected February 19, 2010
Torri (California)
I bought this computer primarily to use at school for taking notes and writing papers, but I have been using it for pretty much everything since I got it. It's faster than I expected (faster than my expensive Piece of C*** HP tablet), but then one of the first things I did when I bought this computer was delete all the unnecessary bloatware. It's light enough that when I drop it in my backpack I don't really notice it, and the battery lasts a good 5 hours, sometimes more, which is astonishing since it's adveritised as good for 2.5. The keyboard was a little strange at first, but now that I'm used to it, my typing has become much faster and more accurate on it's smaller keys. I bought the copper brown, which is a nice, understated but interesting brown (it's almost the color of cola, or coffee with a sheen). My only real complaint is that the speakers are underneath the front bottom edge of the computer, so if you are using it as a laptop the sound is muffled. Oh, and also the screen has a fairly large plastic border... I'm sure there's some mechanical reason for that, but other computers this size have smaller borders with larger screens, and thus are the same total size. I mean, I bought the 8.9 because I wanted a smaller computer, not a smaller screen.
All in all this is a great little computer. Fits perfectly on those tiny college desks with room to spare, hasn't crashed once in the month I've had it, and it's faster by virtue of XP rather than Vista (I imagine it'll be even faster once I dump XP entirely and load up Linux). Another interesting note, I was sitting near a girl with a new Eee PC a couple days ago, and we started up at the same time. By the time hers was loaded and ready, I was already knee deep in note-taking and had three other programs open and running. Why, why Acer, did you have to discontinue this terrific little laptop?? Even my SO, who's a bloodthirsty Mac user, likes this computer.
