10.1-Inch CrystalBrite Screen

The 10.1-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments.


Power-Sipping 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. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

2 out of 5 stars mouse pad died after 60 days   February 22, 2010
arzimax (California)
Powerful small unit at a good price. But...not sure about the quality of the components used by Acer. The moose pad died after 60 days. Amon refuses to take it back at full price and not sure if Acer is willing to accept return or fix this problem. Better to try Lenovo or HP - they are known to use high quality components (learned it too late).

so far this computer has done what it was suppose to do. i bought two for my twin boys and they are learning how to use the internet, email, and typing. the computers are for a defined market and keeping it within their intended use you will not be disapointed.


1 out of 5 stars Acwe a real piece of crap!   January 9, 2010
T. H. McCandless
It is probably good that this netbook is no longer available because it is a real piece of crap. Mine has been back to Acer and it is still not right. Everytime I start it up it is like a new day because I never know what will have changed. Acer gets a real thumbs down for this product, customer service and a willingness to replace a defective product. I would run away from Acer!!!!!


4 out of 5 stars Acer netbook   January 8, 2010

The conversion of this netbook from WinXP to dual boot Win/Ubuntu-9.10 took less than an hour; the easiest dual-boot system I've ever done. Simply (1) remove the crufty add-on useless promo programs on the Win side and defrag (2) boot to Ubuntu ... ah you think, no cd/dvd drive, how? a bootable USB drive ! (3) use parted or gparted to shrink the Win partition (4) boot to Win, and chkdsk. (5) reboot the USB stick and install Ubuntu.

The wireless, video cam, audio, all work with the basic installation - you do not even need to install the netbook-remix of ubuntu - the 'full' version installed just fine.

Needless to say, it runs longer on the battery in linux than windows.




5 out of 5 stars This thing is fantastic!   December 6, 2009

I bought this as a Black Friday special on a different site. But I use Amazon a lot so I thought I'd review it here as well. First thing, get a 2GB chip for this. It works just fine with 1GB, but you'll like it more with 2GB. Second, this thing is great! I immediately upgraded to Windows 7 and it actually runs faster than this machine did with XP. No joke! And it's completely usable even with only 1GB with Windows 7... WITH Aero turned on!!! Again, no joke! After I put Win 7 on it I only needed to install the touchpad drivers to stop the "click by tapping on touchpad" feature - I hate that - but it wasn't necessary. Everything else worked right out of the box with Win 7. I then resized the win partition and installed Ubuntu 9.10 in the empty space. Again, no issues at all. Wireless worked out of the box, sound worked out of the box. I was totally amazed... I figured it would be a nightmare with proprietary drivers, etc but nope. Smooth as silk. I'm writing this review on it right now. Oh, and even with Ubuntu or Win 7, battery life is WELL over 5 hours. They claim 7 hours, I'm not 100% sure on that, but it's gotta be close... I've been using it for well on 5 hours now and I've still got 2 hours left on battery. Overall, an awesome purchase and I would definitely buy another. I'm thinking about getting one for my wife actually. :) Also, it's really thin too. I was amazed at how tiny this thing is but that everything works so well. USB seems a bit slow with only 1GB ram but once I upgraded, it got WAY faster (I know it shouldn't affect that, but I'm just being honest) Keyboard is a bit small for my fat hands, but definitely within tolerable range. Wireless card is fast, haven't tried the wired connection yet. Not having a DVD drive is a pain and it doesn't seem to want to boot well off of a USB dvd drive, but it does fine using USB flash drives (use Netbootin or something like it to make bootable USBs from a cd or DVD). Runs fine with video, watched a movie ripped from DVD on it just a little while ago with no issues. Youtube on HD mode got kinda choppy, but in standard mode it worked just fine. No problems on any other sites for me. All in all, a great buy and does what it is supposed to and does it well. You're not gonna be editing full length feature films on it, but even moderately intensive programs seem to do just fine. :)
