Acer AOA150-1570 (LU.S050B.111) Netbook

Pros: Great screen, FAST (both bootup and applications), great build quality, sexy look, WONDERFUL keyboard.
Cons: Battery life not the greatest, but not bad. Wifi is flaky sometimes.

I've been looking for a new netbook for some time. I have a giant 17" dell dual core laptop, and while it's great for surfing while watching tv in my living room it's really, really heavy, and really big, and quite expensive. I've been looking for a ...

Pros: Screen size, Atom processor instead of VIA C7-M Warranty good even after changing OS
Cons: Touch pad is a little awkward considering size. I recommend disabling scrolling on it.

What a great little system! The only thing I didn't care for was that they had Windows XP on it and the only one with Linux pre-installed had a 8GB SSD drive. This little gem has a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, and a dual core Intel Atom processor. The only modification I would recommend Acer make is relocate the RAM slot so it's easier to access (the Everex Cloudbook has same problem) you have to dismantle the whole unit to upgrade it..

Before I  bouught the Aspire One I had an Everex Cloudbook CE1200V... JUNK!

I removed WindowsXP and installed "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" a version of Ubuntu Linux geared spefically for the Netbook market. Every thing worked great with out having to tinker with anything.

Pros: Lots of pre-loaded software, windows XP, built-in Webcam, media cardreader.
Cons: No inserts for the media cards

Bought this little gem for my wife, now she has her very own notebook. Right out of the box it booted up no problem, very fast and the applications are fast as well. Has everything on it that she will need. The keyboard is excellent, easy to use. Downside... I won't get to use it
