Read all the 1 and 2 star reviews before you buy this product. There are a lot of unsatisfied Acer Aspire One customers and that should be a red flag to you. I wish I had listened to them and avoided wasting my money on this piece of junk.
Bottom line - many Aspire Ones are lemons and develop expensive, time consuming and/or terminal problems after only a few months of normal use. Technical support is not good and will be very costly even if you are in the warranty period. I will never buy an Acer product again.
From personal experience I recommend the MSI wind instead. Check out the reviews, there are very few negative ones. Battery life is short on 3 cell though.
OK, my story if you want it...
I bought the Acer aspire one 8 GB SSD 8.9" screen net book in April of 2009. Initially the speed and preformance were great and I was extreemly happy with it. With normal, daily use and only adding Skype and Google Chrome to it the speed was very slow by September of 2009. I don't go on sketchy websites and have an anti virus program. I did not save any files to the hard drive, every thing was on SD cards. Basically I did not do anything that should have slowed it down like that. By December of 2009 it was so slow that barely functioned and started to freeze up after 10 minutes of use. I put it on the shelf as I had purchased an MSI wind that summer and it ran like a dream. Due to this alone I must
As of March 2010 I just called Acer to see what could be done. They said that using Skype may have caused these problems! That is pretty bad! They also tried to have me reload windows but everything they said to do would not work. So I had to buy a recovery CD for $22 and get an external CD drive and try to reboot that way. If it does not work I have to send it off to be fixed. Update to come... fingers and toes crosses.
My MSI wind was treated exactly the same way and has not slowed down at all or caused any problems. I love it and prefer it to this Acer.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.
