Customer Reviews for Acer AOD250-1842 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)

Great netbook

I've had this netbook for almost a month. I love it. I did a lot of comparing and reading comments here on Amazon and I'm so glad I picked this one. It's very light, works very well with the Intant Watch Netflix (this was one of my concerns) and the battery life is great.

average

good computer, windows 7 starter should list what they stripped like the ability to personalize th desktop wall paper and other basic but nice features to have. stick to xp on netbooks or upgrade windows 7

Just love it!!!

Its very light and powerfull, just have 1 week with this little and i've don't have to turn on my desktop, LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

In college? On a strict budget? Read this.

If you are a poor college student like me, this laptop's price is the BEST out there right now! Here are couple other things you may be wondering about: >Memory is sufficient for what you need. >Streaming is okay, and the video card is decent (for the picky techie student, it could be a whole lot better). >The aspect ratio of the screen is okay for any movie. Widescreen fills up the entire laptop. >Extremely portable. I bring this thing everywhere. >8 hour battery? Maybe in sleep mode. It does give you about 6.5 strong though. >Sound quality is not so hot on its own, so you'll probably want to have speakers if you don't have them already. >Be warned! There isn't a CD drive. I had to buy an external one. >Windows 7 Starter. That means you can't change your background. You'll have to buy Premium. >Microsoft Windows 2007 trial. I downloaded Open Office to get me through the day. >McAfee trial that lasts two months. Hope this helps in your decision to buy!

Great buy!

I was mainly looking for a "laptop" that was light with a great battery life and I found it. The battery on this netwbook is great. It is also fast in terms of booting it up, browsing the web, etc. I reccomend using firefox or google chrome. The only bad thing about this laptop is Windows 7 starter.
