It features a 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 1.66 GHz Atom N280 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).
The Acer Aspire One AOD250 has been designed to be even more streamlined than its predecessors--whittling down the depth to just one inch thin and shaving the weight down to just under 2.8 pounds. The sleek aerodynamic design includes elegant touches such as the color-rich chassis along with the metallic hinge with a colored accent.
It also uses a clever Multi-Gesture Touchpad that allows you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as intuitive navigation of websites such as Google Earth. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows you to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. Finally, it features a soft-touch palm rest to increase typing comfort.
Great for it's useNovember 24, 2009 Vincent L. Wright(Dumfries, Virginia United States) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Acer 1955 Netbook is just what I was looking for. I had only one problem that was easily rectified. The mouse pad stopped working on the third day of use. I had to reinstall the drivers. Other then that I recommend it to anyone. Good deal Good product.
Great for Black Friday Price of $250December 23, 2009 California Studios 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I spent a lot of time researching netbooks. One option I wanted was to be able to replace the hard drive, which is possible on the Aspire One but not many others. I pulled the trigger on Black Friday, when Amazon was selling the 1955, which has XP, bluetooth, a 5800 mAh battery, and the N280 processor (all good) for $250. These options on this and other netbooks push the price closer to $400.
The unit is good, but other netbooks have better keyboards. This model's isn't bad, but the keys could be bigger; it does have a proper right shift key, which is crucial. Battery life if outstanding, at around 9-10 hours for basic web browsing and the screen dimmed to about 60%, which is perfectly viewable. Haven't been able to get bluetooth working yet, but I've only tried once so far. Performance is standard for netbooks with the Atom processor. For a heavy video user, I would suggest getting one with an Ion chip or similar.
Highly recommended for web and email use and anyone that needs to access the drive bay. New models coming out at CES, so the AO250 design will probably be phased out. If you're going to get an Aspire One, get this model.
Awesome Netbook!December 6, 2009 Ryn Wold(MO, USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Bought this netbook. Price was extremely cheap so I jumped on it. First of all, this unit is beautiful. The Blue finish really is fantastic. The black bezel inside along with blue makes it look quite nice.
Pros:
-9-Cell Battery. Measured over 7 hours of use when having constant internet gaming(Runescape), using a bluetooth mouse and brightest brightness on screen.
-Super Bright screen. I was slightly worried about screen being dim, but it is extremely bright, very pleased.
-Windows XP - Proven OS, and no extra money needed to upgrade to 7 Home or whatever.
-Great wireless, better reception that my large laptop.
-Once bloatware removed, very quick. Can do some basic multitasking with ease.
Cons:
-No back up CD's. Must get external drive to burn copy of OS to CD and drivers. Minor annoyance. Most people get external drive anyways.
-Wish it was free?
Great netbook, very happy with it.
Small speakersDecember 4, 2009 D. Choe(California) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Purchased this netbook from Amazon. Nice little netbook marred by some annoying "features".
Pros (just a few highlights):
- N270 cpu at 1.66ghz instead of 1.60ghz, so it gets slightly better performance than some other netbooks.
- Nice webcam.
- Nice microphone.
Cons:
- Barely audible speakers at least for webchat. I did a video chat and I could not hear the other person. I had to plug in headphones to hear them. Otherwise, they are adequate.
- Battery is not flush with unit (though I guess this allows for longer run time, take a good look at the pictures).
- Lots of bloatware.
So overall a nice unit, with the most glaring flaw being the "speakers". With such underpowered speakers, the ability for this netbook to serve as a portable entertainment device, or even for a quick video chat is seriously hampered as is.
Great laptop at a terrific priceDecember 5, 2009 Hoz(NW Pennsylvania) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My wife purchased this great little netbook for me as a gift at 4am on Black Friday. We received a "SALE" e-mail from Amazon in the middle of the night and the price was reduced on this exact model/color that was well below the current price. This came with the 9 hr. battery and I had read where when the computer is first charged that it is suppose to be totaly discharged and then recharged at least 3 times to get the maximun battery conditioning in it. The first time I charged this great little computer I got over 10 hours out of the battery before it reached 3% and this was running it mostly on web sites and doing some external DVD burning with it plus removing a lot of bloatware and installing a lot of new software.
Pros for this netbook include:
Great price
Small size
Great web cam
Super battery life
Windows XP (sp3) instead of Windows Vista or Windows 7
Cons for this netbook:
Built in speakers are not very loud.
Poor touchpad (to small and seems to have a mind of it's own)
Finger print magnet! :)
Lots of bloatware such as games and free trial offers.
90 Day trial of "resource hogging" McAfee Anti Virus. (That was the first thing I removed!!)
I purchased a Logitech M205 wireless mouse for it and that took care of my dislike for the touchpad.
I also purchased a Asus external USB only powered CD/DVD burner for it which works great and it very compact so it keeps with my wanting everything small for it.
I also replaced the original 1GB of RAM that came installed in it with a Crucial 2GB Ram chip before I ever turned on the netbook for the first time.. Runs great but cannot determine how much faster it is because I never used it with the original 1GB of RAM in it.
I highly recommend this netbook for students and anyone that does not need a high powered laptop. Since it does not come with any type of CD/DVD burner, that would be a added expense if you need one, but many good USB only powered burners can be found here on Amazon for $40 to $75
Good luck. :)
