Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Junk times 2 Comment: The first Aspire One lasted maybe two hours - defective charger wouldn't charge battery. The second Aspire One I purchased about a week after I returned the first. I thought perhaps I just got a lemon and would give them another try. Bad idea. The battery does not last the estimated 2.5 hours, it's more like 1.5 hours. At the moment it will not start up. XP issued the "Hibernate" message and shutdown before I could connect the charger. The battery is now fully charged, but it won't restart - does nothing more than light up the power button. No response when pressing "caps lock", "num lock" keys. Currently I am waiting on tech support to respond to my plea for help. I've tried removing/reinstalling the battery, CTRL+ALT+DEL, running on AC power only, voodoo dolls.... nothing seems to revive it. This second Aspire One is three weeks old. Two purchases, two junkers. Customer Rating: Summary: Acer Aspire One with 8GB SSD and Linpus Linux (white) Comment: I've owned various used laptops before I bought this one. I was specifically looking for something light and portable, like the ThinkPad X-series. However, it was hard to find one for less than $500 that was in good condition. Then netbooks came along. After much time and research, I decided on the AA1 mainly because of build quality, and because it had a Linux-based variant. When I received the package from BeachCamera, I got not only this computer, but a PC-to-PC File Transfer for Dummies USB dongle in a box (you can find out more about this product: PC-to-PC File Transfer for Dummies) This was not part of the order, and it's completely useless to me. It's a nice little bonus, though. Merry Christmas! I spent a few days working with the built-in Linpus Linux software, but discovered that their repositories did not contain the software that I prefer to use. Today, I use Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10. It's slower than the stock Linpus, but it works much better for me. As other reviewers have pointed out, the built quality of this machine is incredible for what you pay for. I particularly like the casing and the keyboard. Although a little cramped, the keyboard is something I can certainly get used to. The monitor hinges appear solid, and the indicator LEDs as well as the power button are well thought out. Although Dell has come out with their version of a netbook as of the publishing of this review, I have no regrets of buying this one, because I like my function buttons (the Dell does not have a dedicated row of Function buttons, and it's missing F11 and F12). I also like the glossy screen, unlike many who prefer a matte finish. I find that regardless of which finish, glare is always an issue. The glossy version is just sharper, in my opinion. The screen itself displays sharper and better than my 17-inch LG LCD (with matte finish). The "Storage Expansion" slots for memory cards work as advertised only with the shipped Linpus software. Under Xubuntu, I need to mount the card as a separate directory to get access to it, and it will not report combined disk space like the original. The mousepad is adequate, although the placement and engineering of the buttons could have been better. I've been using this for nearly 3 weeks, and I find that the right button sinks lower than the left before it will click. Seems like a design defect, as other reviewers have complained of the same issue. This machine also heats up, but not quickly. Once running (on AC power) for a couple of hours, I find that I prefer to take a break and let it cool off. I think it's a matter of personal comfort, because I use this most often on my lap. The battery only lasts for about 2 hours for me. It lasted 2.5 hrs on Linpus, so I believe this is a software issue with Xubuntu. It will automatically shut down the system when it reaches 5% charge. Noise is definitely not an issue. With the HDD versions, the casing is thicker, and the fan is probably larger too, so Acer probably used a different fan for that version. I can hear the fan, but it's nowhere near what people are complaining about. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L There is a section specifically written for Intrepid, although the Hardy instructions work too. The built-in SSD is adequate to store an entire OS. However, the SDHC expansion is an absolute necessity. The SSD is also slow on writes. I think SSDs are still an infant technology, and it will take a while before they reach the maturity of HDDs. It's still fun to have the bragging rights for an all solid-state computer! Customer Rating: Summary: Acer Aspire One Linux with SSD Comment: Out of the box the provided software and hardware are well-integrated and fairly comprehensive, and a pleasant surprise in a gadget this small and sturdy. Although the keyboard and screen are too tight for most people to choose this as their primary computer, adding "cloud" applications gives it a wide range of possibilities. Turning on the Advanced Menu is also pretty easy, as is loading a limited range of additional software like Skype and GIMP. However, trying to go beyond this runs into a whole range of Linux problems, including figuring out the root password, the modified Fedora 8 distro, and the kernel. Those who need specialized Windows applications would be better off paying a bit more for the Windows version. Customer Rating: Summary: Above my expectations Comment: I am extremely satisfied with this product. First it arrived 2 days after ordering it (5-7 days was promised). It also included a PC-PC transfer cable which was not even mentioned in the ad. I had an ASUS 701 before, which I sold. This is the replacement for it. The keyboard and the speed are far superior to the ASUS and it works great. I found that modifying the standard desktop was a little more difficult than I expected, but it was quite doable. I love it. Customer Rating: Summary: Cannot do what an average person would need Comment: I liked this computer because it was light weight and very mobile. When trying to use it and then transfer the info to my desktop, the info would not transfer as I put it in. Everything was everywhere. More Reviews
