I purchased the AAO from Amazon (6cell)about a month ago as a Christmas present for the wife. Out of the box I spent about 3 hours getting it set-up (uninstalling the virus program and installing Symantec, uninstalling Office 2007); turning off a handful of items that turn on at startup. I also set up the WiFi card as recommended on a youtube video (search for: How to Speed your Acer Aspire One Wireless Card on youtube). This helped to speed up the wifi speeds.
I also purchased a neoprene sleave from ebay for 10 bucks shipped to my office.
I was easily able to share my Photo folder on my Dell Laptop, so I can view my photos on Acer One over my home network. I was also able to install Microsoft office this way too (Shared the CD rom on my Dell, the Acer could see the shared drive in the network and then I could install Office on the Acer). This same concept should work for ripping DVDs to watch on the Acer one.
I have shown this powerful little guy to handful of folks and they all love it.
The slightly smaller keyboard is not really an issue. The screen is to small for an everyday use laptop (but that is not why I bought it). The 6 cell battery is nice for +5 hours of run time. The Fan is a bit loud, but my other laptops sit on cooling pads and I always hear the fan on them. I'm fine with the touchpad. I'm use to clicking by tapping the touchpad. If Acer is looking for a better setup I would recommend an eraser head mouse (Like on ThinkPads) and 3 buttons (left right and scroll).
Overall it is well built and will be a great bedroom/traveling laptop for the Family. 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.
