I got this for my wife as a gift. It's a nice lightweight machine. My complains are it comes with a lot of shovelware (unnecessary programs that hog resources.) Some examples of this were both Norton and McAfee were installed. I replaced those with Windows Essentials. There were some games, some acer utilities, adobe reader (i prefer foxit reader.) I removed all of that and the machine was much snappier. It wouldn't have been reasonable to expect a beginner user to do that, so if you're buying this for someone and you have some computer know how, you should boot it first to get it cleaned up to run best. Windows 7 starter is absolutely fine. The primary limitations are the wallpaper not being able to change and file sharing is minimalistic. I had no problems connecting this to a wireless printer / scanner, connecting to multiple wireless networks. I used google chrome to play netflix and hulu and they both displayed without skips or poor rendering. Google docs worked just fine. The screen and the mouse take a little getting used to but nothing that cannot be overcome.Get more detail about Acer AOD250-1325 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - Over 3 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter).
