 less than 20 secs boot!!!!!!!!!!!! November 2, 2008
Francisco Fossa
Beside the lesser time at booting up, the software seems really easy to operate with, which is Linux. After a little hack for installing more things, then I just added a bag of the kind that are used with portable dvd players, and extra 4 gig SD memory and a tiny retractable trip mouse (because my fingers are simply too big for any touchpad), and was amazed at how fast everything stuck together. It connects fast to the wifi network, so I have no complaints there, it browse really well. No moving parts gives the battery a long run for the money, and the screen really looks right. The camera is awesome, mics are ok, don't expect too much from the speakers of course. And it runs everything really fast, suspiciously fast I might say. No more than 3 process at a time... just in case. I took a long trip by airplanes, three legs. In every plane was able to use it for about an hour. For that price, I better start getting addons. 325$!!! wow!
Best purchase so far! November 2, 2008

I've done months of research on ultra portable pc's and found the AA1 to be the best value for the dollar.Whether your a Windows or linnux fan,this will fill the need for simple inexpensive computing.I've used Windows most of my computing life,but was curious about Linnux os.There's much to like about both e.i. the familiariy of Windows and the quick boot up and lack of a need for anti-virus protection for Linnux.With the inclusion of built in games,my kids love it!Once you get around the wi-fi issues myself and others reviewers have experienced,you will not be dissapointed.Thank you Acer for a great product!

I ordered the Acer AOA110-1722 computer on September 27, 2008. As of today, October 21, 2008, almost a month after, I have not receive it. I keep calling Amazon for quick updates but I am getting the same answer "we do not know by when we can send you the computer". The shipping date is like a moving target. I have had at least 4 and keeps changing. The last one I got is by October 23, 2008. We will see what is the new excuse to postpone it one more time.
Great Netbook, But minor issues September 25, 2008

I bought the Blue Acer Aspire One (XP version with 120 gigabyte HD) just as soon as one was available. Did not buy it from Amazon because the price was higher than a local retailer (Micro Center). Micro Center has dropped the price to the Acer suggested retail price of $349 (XP). I did see the Linux Version at Circuit City for $307. So far no real complaints except that the touch pad is difficult to work with and it is not very precise. Actually the buttons are awkward to use and it often "double-clicks" seemingly on it's own. I use a mouse now. So far I have not needed a DVD player since I usually rip my DVDs "for my own use" and load them via the USB port on a Jump Drive or use my card reader. I purchased a home version of MS Office and simply entered the code. No need for the DVD just the code and it worked seamlessly. As noted the exterior is very prone to smudges and I find myself cleaning the unit regularly. I did note that the fan noise is a little loud when used in a quiet room but at coffee shops and other WIFI hotspots it is not noticeable. Again no real gripes and for the price it does what I was hoping for, a small websurfer with the capability of performing more complex tasks if needed. I purchased it for the price of a good PDA and it surfs the web better than my iPod Touch. Its a winner in my book...

I bought this netbook to keep in my backpack at all times for email and web opportunities while I'm out and about. Other netbooks seem to suffer a bit from spec bloat- bigger drives, more memory, higher prices.
Pros-
1. Small and light. Really light. I also have the eee pc 1000h. The difference is dramatic.
2. Given it's size, keyboard is ok.
3. On a purely personal note, the blue color is great.
4. Cheap, cheap, cheap. I picked mine up for $309. Other comparable netbooks seem to be up over $400.
5. I really like the Linux operating system. Its more like a PDA's. Lots of apps are included. Upgrading to latest versions looks easy.
6. Quiet
7. Very fast boot
8. Second SD slot that adds to drive size is a cool idea. Now if 16 or 32gb SD card prices would just come down, things would be great. I have lots of media files on SD's for other devices, I can plug them in and still have one free.
9. After seeing the 7" screens, I think the 8.9" is as small as you can go and still have it useful
10. Total travel package is really light. Small, light power brick and cord.
Negs-
1. Battery life is good, but would be amazing with a 6-cell
2. Shiny- get used to lots of fingerprints. Would have been much better matte.
3. Included sleeve will protect from scratches, but not much else. No padding, no zipper- just basically a plastic pocket. I'm looking for an aftermarket sleeve.
Because of it's specs its more of a net appliance than notebook. But if you're looking for a cheap way to use hotspots and apps that don't require lots of resources, this is great.
