I”m a classroom teacher and I wanted to try it out in my class.
My students love it. It’s just their size. The games on it are great and it has the word processing that I want my students to be able to do.
Awesome little workhorse of a netbook and still going strong after 15 months of daily use. The light weight and small size is great for taking it everywhere I go. When I need more display room for my work, it’s a snap to connect the Aspire One to a large size monitor using the VGA port. Quiet fan and cool running, long lasting battery. Keep the temp files and reg clean and it will continue to run as fast as the first day it booted up. The price has dropped and I’ll be buying more Aspire Ones for my home network.
I got a refurbished netbook but I love how long the battery lasts. But I don’t get the normal 8 hours. Instead, I think I get about 4-6 hours on my netbook. I love the color and how slim it is. It’s not noisy and it doesn’t heat up not like my old laptop. I read all netbook reviews and decided to purchase this because of all the positive reviews that I have read. The only negative reviews I read about this was regarding the speakers. I have to agree that it does suck but I figured I can just plug in my headphones. The only problem is that I love to chat and use the webcam but I can barely see myself with low lighting and the person I am chatting with cannot even see me at all. So that’s the only thing that bothers me. But I love how easy it is to type here. Basically I love everything about this netbook except for the speakers and the lighting when using the webcam. But if you can live with it then get this netbook! It is worth it!
Pros:
- Brushed aluminum looking finish.
- Matte screen. Not sure why they make something intended to be portable with a gloss screen anyway. It’s not like you’ll be watching hi-def material on a 10″ screen.
- 10″ way better than the 8″.
- Keyboard is easy to type on.
- Battery life is decent.
- Very light and portable.
Cons: (but not deal breakers)
- a little hard to open. There is no latch or indention to grip.
- I guess the right shift key is a little wierd.

| Review by V. Pulipati (CA UNITED STATES) 2010-07-18 This system is terribly slow. Internet browsing experience is not very good, but I think the problem with all the netbooks.
