I purchased the Aspire One as a Christmas gift for my 10 year-old son, whose USB toys and games are slowly taking over our desktop computer. (Plus I want one for myself and wanted to try it out first!) I set it up the night we got it so it would be ready on Christmas day.
Even though I'd been looking at reviews for months, the size of the One astounded me. It's SO tiny! I had some difficulty getting the battery to snap in (one of the metal connectors was slightly bent) but once I got it, I was booted and installing WinXP within minutes. Initial setup, removing the bloatware, and adding our preferred virus software and all my son's games took about an hour. The battery had about 77% when I turned it on, so it was fully charged by the time I finished setting everything up.
The keyboard took a few minutes to get used to, but soon I was typing away with no problem. The screen, surprisingly, is easy to see and read with no straining even with my horrible eyesight. At one point, I had probably 10 windows open and the One never even slowed down. Wifi picked up our home network within seconds and actually showed a few connections that our other computers don't see.
Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. I know when my son opens it tomorrow he'll be thrilled to have his own computer that is sized for him. I ordered a Pirates of the Caribbean DVD player case from Target that will serve as his computer bag, as well as the neoprene sleeve sold here on Amazon in case he wants to throw it in his backpack. Our extended family members are already fighting over who gets to use it first!
