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).

We bought this laptop for our 10 year old daughter for her birthday. I'm not overly impressed by the speed - it seems slow and takes forever to load the internet, etc. Just assumed it would be more comparable to our other laptops.

This thing does not work. Start up time 15-20 minutes. Cannot multi-task. Graphic display awful. Locks up constantly. Loaded with junk ware. Cannot meet basic computer needs. A true bomb...DO NOT BUY!!!!

When I purchased this I had planned on using this sparingly and getting a full-size laptop eventually. Now? I will save the money and use it for different things because this little machine is amazing. I will say, the machine is fast with the 1 GB ram it comes with but do yourself a favor, if you are an adult and will be using this regularly, buy the 2 GB RAM upgrade. It's a couple little screws, pinch the tabs on the card and pop-out the old and in with the new. This machine runs wonderfully and is quiet as well. The screen is crystal clear and, if you take care of your possessions, you will have no problem with this little guy running for a long time. I did not load a lot on here because I use it for school and in my cruiser at work but I never have to wait for uploads and I do watch Netflix movies on here and never get interrupted with service messages or what not. Great buy and an amazing investment.

I am so happy with this netbook. The battery life is amazing and it handles just like a full sized lap top. I highly recommend this product. I haven't had any problems with it. I wish the sound/speakers were better but, an ear bud solved any issues.

I purchased an Acer Aspire One AOD250-1580 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 7.5 Hour Battery Life. After just 3 weeks the computer developed power issues. It wouldn't hold a charge or even start up. It took me a week of daily e-mail exchanges just to get a phone number for the Acer service people. Then after another week of phone exchanges & a new power cord, I was told I'd have to mail my computer to Acer for repairs AT MY EXPENSE! There are no local Acer service centers in the US, so I could not take it in personally for warranty repairs.
