Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management.

 Serves its purpose January 8, 2009
Rae
I purchased this back in Nov so I have had it for a while now. I got it because I wanted something light weight to carry around to work and school and for this purpose it is great. The key board is a little small and you have to be careful when typing. I seem to constantly hit buttons that make the print smaller or does some other wacky thing to the screen. Just yesterday the speakers started making a crackling noise so I guess that means they are going to give out at some point.
Other than that its a great little computer serves the purpose I wanted but if you have issues with sight and dexterity don't get this computer go for a slightly larger one. The mouse pad on this drives me nuts sometimes because it takes so much to get the arrow to move. I usually use a wireless mouse anyway. As I said the screen is small and can be a little annoying when trying to watch a movie or see the full page of a site but overall its not that bad. To me its all worth it not to have to lug around a large laptop.
I gave it 3 stars because of the mouse pad and the fact that the speakers seem to be giving out already and I rarely have anything playing. Also the battery life started out lasting around five hours but now seems to be closer to 3-4.
 Touchpad doesn't work. Returned it. January 8, 2009
H. Ye
I don't like to return things, and I don't like to write negative reviews. Well, doing both..
I thought it would be a good idea to leave my 4.5 years old IBM T42 at home and trave with smaller, lighter and brand new Aspire One. Wrong. The touchpad of Aspire One stopped working just a few days after I purchased it. I swear I didn't drop the netbook or abuse it in any form. The touchpad just stopped working. Fortunately I brought an external mouse. If you happend to see an idiot at the airport using mouse on the surface of airport seat during the past holiday season, that could be me. My 4.5 year old IBM never has such a problem. Touchpad failure beats the purpose of netbook.
Two other minor issues. If you leave the netbook idle for a long time, or close the cover, it goes to sleep mode, which is good. However, it is not intuitive to me how to wake it up later. My T42 will wake up by just a touch on any key or mouse. I cleaned the surface with a tissue -- not the softest kind, but it is a paper tissue. Guess what? A piece of the beauitiful blue paint was sactched out. It is a little piece, but obvious enough for anyone to notice.
I don't know if Amazon will put 15% penalty for this return. If it does, this is equivlent to a two dollar per day rental of a netbook without touchpad. not a good buy.
 A best buy for sure January 8, 2009
Charles G. Abbott
I travel frequently and the old Gateway laptop I was using kept getting heaver and slower, so I purchased an Acer Apire One. It's perfect for my needs. I use it primairly for keeping up on e-mails, taking meeting notes and access to the internet. The keyboard and screen is a little small, but any inconvenience is definitely overcome by the low price and light weight.
I am very happy with the battery life and periodically forget to check the meter before it runs out of juice.
I would highly recommend this to all of my friends.
Best laptop I ever have.... January 8, 2009
Jack McNamee (LA Habra, CA)
I have the Acer Aspire One and I love it. It's small, compact and light weight. After I got this, I have never once used my big laptop again. Prefect for students who wants to take notes in class or browsing internet in the coffee shop. I also got a 9-cell 7800mAh battery for this laptop at Amazon.com. With the 9-Cell battery, my AA1 lasts about 7-10 hours on normal daily use. I use it at day and charge it at night, which it never ran out of power on me. I don't have to worry about battery life anymore.
Extremely portable, works well, great to carry to classes January 7, 2009

This labtop is very light, runs well and is perfect for students. I'm an engineering student -- my books are large & heavy, and trying to carry my full size laptop became a problem. Now, I just transfer my notes, etc when I get home. I love it. It came with the operating systems installed and works great!
