CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Secondary SD slot expands primary storage; slim and light form factor; inexpensive. 7.6
out of 10View score
The bad: Limited 8GB SSD; poor battery life; no Bluetooth.
The bottom line: The Acer Aspire One may not be as feature-packed as the Eee PC 901, but the keyboard is certainly much better and could tip the scales in its favor.

Product OK, Service Wanting
Mar 9, 2009Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Low price, Built In Camera, Good enough speed for netbook
Cons: Glossy screen, Slow Customer Service, Backup does not work - cannot install my own backup tool.
Opinion:
I got the D150 that does not have an embedded 3.5G HSPA modem.
Additional Pros in addition to the ones listed above:
- Big 160GB HDD with reasonable speed
- Three (3) USB ports
- Reasonable keypad and touchpad.
- Loud enough compared to my other Lenovo X61s.
- Extended battery last a long time.
More Cons:
- Heavy for its class and quite thick.
- Limited documentation.
- Hot.
Value for Money: Good.
Despite the bad service, this machine is good value for money. In Singapore, this week the machine is advertised for S$499. I got mine a few weeks ago. :(
If you are a road warrior, get something else. If you want a second over-night machine, this will do well.
Best in class!

Pros: 4+ hours battery life, easy to use keyboard, bright/clear screen...
Cons: A bit thicker than MSI Wind when 6-cell battery is used
Opinion:
Was in Bangkok, Thailand recently and saw a really good offer, so I grabbed one! One photography blog I frequent has lavished Aspire One with praises for the mobile computing convenience and surprising power. I had to personally validate that claim, of course! And after using it for four days now, I can say Aspire One is a very apt replacement for a full-featured laptop. It runs all MS Office 2007 applications very briskly. It boots up in about 20-30 seconds, after with McAfee installed. It connects to the internet whether wired or wireless in a flash. I just installed IE 8 release candidate version and it works very, very well. I installed iTunes, YM, MS Live Messenger... they all work fine, even with multiple windows open at the same time. Light video and photo editing tasks also get completed in a decent speed and fashion, thanks to Intel Atom's hyperthreading ... Read more
