User Reviews about Acer AOD250-1515 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
My wife and I were going away and we decided our regular, full size laptop was going to be too cumbersome to bring with us. We picked up the Acer Aspire One D250 after testing several netbooks. This was purchased last October, and almost a year later, the unit has performed well. The unit we purchased still had Windows XP installed new, which was a blessing. At the time, Vista was a disaster and I was glad that Microsoft made an exception for ultra low cost PCs to still come pre-installed with XP. We purchased it from a major retailer that had it bundled with the DVD drive/mouse/case and an SD card for under $300, which made it a slam dunk to buy.
It came pre-loaded with a lot of software running, including Norton Internet Security. Out of the box, too much pre-loaded software caused the unit to run terribly slow on 1GB of memory. After removing much of it, the unit runs Office and surfs the web with ease! It can handle mostly all websites with ease, but some software will bog it down. I use it for mostly playing simple games, surfing, and Office, and with that I am very satisfied, because that's what I bought it for. If your looking to edit photos and video, you will be sorely dissapointed
The on board speakers are sub par, and the sound card is also not good. If you plan to listen to a lot of music, stay away from this netbook. I watch YouTube clips sometimes which didn't affect me as much, but the actual music output is very sub par. The on board sound did cause my review to lose a star.
The USB ports are well placed, as is the Ethernet port and the multi-card reader. The unit is great at copying and storing data. The 160GB hard drive is perfect for holding/displaying documents, some music, and lower-resolution photos. Video playback is iffy on this unit, and HD resolution playback was very choppy, as can be expected with this processor.
Battery life has been impressive. I have used the unit 4-5 hours at a time without any major complaint. The bottom of the unit gets downright hot after awhile, even if it is idle.
Overall, I will buy another Acer if I want to get another netbook. Even though the iPad will be tempting, for the price, Acer has proved why they are a major player in netbooks. -- Does what it needs to do for the price!
EXCELENT PRODUCT AND GOOD SERVICE BY TRACKING THE DELIVERY. SHIPPED ON TIME.CONGRATULATIONS TO AMAZON FOR THE SERVICE THAT I RECEIVED BY YOU. -- ACER NOTEBOOK
This is exactly what I was looking for.... Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, big storage, very portable, and snappy.... I added the extra 1G of Ram, got a good case to carry it with and now it goes everywhere with me. Who needs an ipad when you have one of these babies!!! -- My "Little Blue" You're gonna love it.
