Acer Aspire One AOD150-1165 10.1-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life Review
When I first considered buying a Netbook I didn’t imagine it would be as useful as it has turned out to be. I primarily got it for travel, it’s small size makes it easy to pack, and it being cheaper than a full size notebook makes dragging it along a bit less intimidating, especially on camping trips.
I use it for Geocaching, I run mapping software using a USB GPS, and have drivers installed to be able to interface with most handheld GPS units. GSAK runs great.
Battery life is great, I have not done any tests but 6 hours seems about right.
It’s exterior shiny finish picks up fingerprints like a magnet, and it is easy to scratch. The interior finish around the keyboard has a similar look to brushed metal. I got the Black model and think it looks great.
I did add more RAM, not out of necessity but because RAM was cheap and I was ordering it for my other computers anyway. Installation was a snap, just open the RAM door, pull the old card out and snap the new one in. There is only one slot and the maximum RAM it will take from what I recearched is the 2GB I installed. With 2GB RAM Windows XP at idle only uses about 10%, and opening multiple programs does not seem to slow it down until you go to an extreme. I have not noticed any issues with the RAM, it runs just like it did before the upgrade only it will handle more open programs without slowing.
Start up and shut down is less than a minute, and has not noticeably increased since I got it over 6 months ago. It hibernates fast and restores fast, I was amazed since my work machine which runs XP takes a good 10 minutes to warm up with me optimizing it as much as possible.
Overall I’m very pleased with this netbook, it has proven to be one of the most handy computers I have owned. It can’t replace a full size notebook or desktop, but it is especially handy for web surfing on the couch, and taking along outside the home.

After hours on the phone explaining the problem and doing a thousand procedures I had to ship it to Toshiba. The problem is that they lost my computer and they don't do anything to solve the problem. I have called them more than 30 times already and they h... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Michelle Lewis (Atlanta, GA) 2010-06-02 Ok, Here is the long and the short. I got it and it did not work. I gave two stars because it came early in the mail. It has never worked. Then I had to call tech services and had to stay on the phone with them for hours to figure out that the thing was broken and needed to be sent back. I could have told them that from the beginning. I was conside... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Shelley Batts (Ann Arbor, MI USA) 2010-07-28 The "millenial" generation of women has grown up knowing they can have it all, and this netbook seems like a direct product of a savvy female up in the ranks of HP. The quality of this netbook is top notch. It has all the bells and whistles that one can expect with a micro computer, and lots of surprises. Unless you are running Photoshop or somethi...

| Review by Antonio Quinonez-munoz (Woodinville, WA USA) 2010-07-15 Obviously not for high-end gaming. I use my writing and surfing the Internet and Twitter. The keyboard is excellent, the start-up is a little 'slow, but waking up from sleep mode does the trick when using very fast. The biggest problem is that the transition from the power of wireless is, but this can also typical for notebooks... Read more reviews | ||
