I was so pleasantly surprised by the "beefed-up" Aspire with XP, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD & large battery pack, that what began as an information gathering exercise turned into an impulse buy. For the first time in memory - I haven't had a moment of buyers remorse from this particular impulse purchase.
I do not have small hands, yet I found the very compact keyboard easy to use. The compromises over a full sized notebook are quite minimal considering the much more compact form factor.
I found the atom processor much less sluggish than expected - that may have to do with the generous amount of RAM in this particular configuration. I still won't be editing videos or playing graphics intensive games, but for basic cloud computing - including streaming video - it seems totally up to the task.
Since I often use it in noisy environments - trains, coffeeshops etc - the reported fan noise has never been an issue for me. Perhaps because it is replacing a much noiser and vastly underpowered older notebook, I see nothing but upside to my purchase.
I also found the WiFi to be much more sensitive than my old notebook, so connectivity is far less troublesome with the Aspire. The large battery pack yields far more life than I'm used to. Upwards of 5 hours, where my old mobile Athlon based notebook would be unlikely to last 90minutes.
Perhaps my standards are too low to offer a critical review, but all I can offer are my experiences and opinion. For me, this little netbook has been the most positive mobile experience I've yet had.
I've also started accessorizing it with items like a USB DTV tuner, and GPS receiver. This seems to be a case where having XP is a plus - though I'm considering adding Linux & a bootloader. I've had the Aspire for about a month and the "owners delight" has yet to wear off.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.
