After looking around a bit I decided to purchase an AspireOne to replace a larger, older laptop. The product came out of the box and started up as expected. I attempted to configure the AspireOne to work with my home wireless network. After much fiddling around, I was not successful. I've configured multiple PCs and Macs to work with the same network - the procedure is straightforward.
Multiple user communities are reporting that the AspireOne uses a new WiFi chipset and driver, and that the driver will not work with networks that do not broadcast an SSID. Practical implications - you will not be able to use your AspireOne for wireless access in many hotel, airport, airport lounge, and other access locations.
I called Acer support, and that's where the real nightmare began. Acer basically refused to support the product. The first answer from Acer boiled down to, "You don't know what you are doing" and proceded to "Not our problem." Instead of answering the question, Acer support finally just hung up. Given that Acer was unable or unwilling to provide any information, I am left with only one conclusion - the user groups are correct, Acer has a problem with the AspireOne WiFi driver, and that Acer will not acknowledge or address the issue.
There are a multiple small notebook/netbook products out there. The Acer is a decent package. However, unless you are very confident that you will NEVER have a question or problem with the product, you should consider buying a different brand. Acer is a company to trust.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOA150-1049 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Black.
