Review of Acer Aspire One A110

 

Netbooks seem to be the most fashionable gadget to have around. It started out with being as simple as a netbook can get and now, there's a whole different package with multi-features and different designs to pick from. Meanwhile, the …

On the whole, Acer as the brand has rarely been labeled as a ‘let-down’. That said, Acer Aspire One A110 is a basic netbook with basic features and the keyboard is great to be used so go for it if you don't mind a simple gadget on hand.

Refurbished Acer Aspire One AOA 110-1722 Netbook

 

Most netbooks are less expensive than larger laptop computers, but many of us may still be deterred by the price of certain desirable netbooks. There are a fair number of ...

Great value for your money ; Nice keyboard with friendly layout ; Linpus Linux is remarkably fast, even with 512MB of RAM ; LED-backlit display

Glossy surface attracts lots of fingerprints, especially on palm rest ; Trackpad and button design is odd ; Less than desirable specs, including 3-cell battery, 8GB storage, 512MB RAM ; Performance not quite as good as competitors ; Provided protective...

That said, I was quite pleased to see that the contents of the box were well protected with soft foam inserts rather than with the standard Styrofoam that you find everywhere else. Since you don’t get any formed Styrofoam, however, the contents of the...

Acer Aspire One AOA110-1295 Notebook

 

The OS shell is both functional and lame. This netbook is very suitable for travel and easily running common apps, such as web, email, Open Office, some games and IM. Die-hard linux fans would probably override the native linpus linux with gnome or...

Fast startup, >30 seconds,true 8G SSD drive, not a hybrid ssd/sd-ram,OS + apps take only 3.5G,expand user storage space w/sd-ram card,easy wi-fi connect, webcam OK, keyboard OK, not too cram

Per Acer, does *not* accept sdhc cards,battery life >3.5 hours w/dim screen,no network browsing,OS shell does not accept new apps, no desktop icons,system RAM upgrades must be done by Acer.

Acer Aspire One AOA110-1995 is sloooow.

Got this Acer netbook to use mostly for email and internet. Granted, my satellite internet service is already slower than broadband, but the Acer is way slower than my regular laptop online. Maybe it's the particular model, with only 2.5 hourse of...
