First of all, prior to buying this laptop, I only looked at the stats. The selling points for me was the large hard drive, and the extremely light weight. Aside from the identical stats, like the Atom processor and the RAM, and 6 cell battery, the HHD and weight were the very reason I bought this laptop over the Asus HA's ans MSi Wind. However, after I purchased it, I started getting scared for several reasons after looking at actual older reviews.
Problems with a loud fan noise.
WiFi problems (worried me the most.)
Battery sticking out a LOT.
So I started regretting buying it, looking at as many good reviews as I could to change my mind.
However, after it arrived, my expectations were exceeded. The fan made no noise at all, except under some load it makes a small whirring noise. I downloaded the temperature program (because temperatures exceed the norms for no reason) and it never made a sound again.
WiFi worked perfectly. Perhaps they fixed the WiFi problems in the newer Acer Aspire One's, with updated Bios and software. I assume that any new model will have great working WiFi. When I fiddled with some networking components in the add custom software tab in the add/remove programs, and deleted the Touch Point software that came with the unit, the WiFi didn't work for me on the first day. I couldn't connect. After a eRestore (software comes with the netbook) it worked perfectly. My guess was that the Touch Point software affected my WiFi somehow, so I would not touch that as it controls the keyboard hotkeys (e.g. fn+5 for sound mute).
After looking at pictures of the "HUGE" 6 cell battery I was concerned because the aesthetics was something that drew me to this laptop. However, when seen in real life, the battery does not look big at all. I don't know if the pictures add 3-4 inches on it, but the battery looks as if it's apart of the netbook. It's ridiculous how big the pictures make the battery look. After instant evaluation, it complemented the netbook perfectly.
Performance is great as expected, hard drive space is large. Haven't had any problems at all with the laptop. When a lot of programs are run over a period of time, the bottom gets slightly warm, which is a part of all Intel Atom chipsets on all netbooks. So that is something to expect. It comes up slightly warm rarely so I'm not going to put a lot of emphasis on it.
Overall great netbook, great look. Got mine in white and love how it looks!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.
