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.

 One day and already I love it! November 20, 2008
One day into my Aspire and I really love it. For starters, the wireless range is so much greater than my old laptop. Formerly, I was having trouble grabbing the signal from upstairs. Now, I have a great connection and all my neighbors'networks are visible too. The weight is amazing, the resolution is fine and it does everything I need. The XP software works just like on the big units. The mousepad is surprisingly easy to use. If you don't like hitting the left button, you can just tap on the pad for the same result.
Drawbacks: My wife thinks everything is too small in the smaller screen. (I wear reading glasses anyway). You only see about 60% of what is visible on a standard laptop, though side-to-side it's the same. The unit has fingerprint marks all over its beautiful little case. But, in my opinion, all of these are minor in comparison with the ease of use and portability of this unit.
In short. It's fun. I'd recommend it.
 Excellent Computer for the Price November 20, 2008
Positives:
Small, it goes virtually everywhere with me and the 6+ hour battery life allows me to pull it out whenever I need to work or have a minute to surf.
Large HD and a lot of memory for an affordable price.
Clear screen.
Lightweight and compact.
Short boot time. Acer boasts 15 seconds, and I have yet to have it actually boot that quickly, but it is definately up and ready to go in less than 30 seconds.
Short wake up time. Computer is set to automatically hibernate when the screen is closed. It takes a very short time upon "waking up" the computer for it to be up and ready to go again.
Negatives:
I knew it when I bought it, but there is no internal CD drive. I didn't think I would need it, but later purchased an external drive because virtually all software still comes on CD or DVD.
Small screen sometimes makes reading webpages difficult when the webpages are optimized for larger screens.
I am very happy I purchased this computer and would again if I had a choice.
Soooo Cool! November 20, 2008

I'm so impressed with this little machine. Quality is great. Battery life is fantastic. I use it all day and charge it at night; getting about 7 hours. Built in wireless worked immediately. I was concerned about the keyboard but not now; no problem typing. I prefer to attach a small usb travel mouse but not absolutely necessary. 160GB drive is more than sufficient. Office 2007, Dreamweaver suite, etc. works great with excellent performance. Very impressive startup time. It draws a crowd when I bring it out at the office. Everyone in the family wants one now!
Great little machine November 19, 2008
If you are looking for a netbook with a 6-cell battery, huge hard drive and has the added benefit of looking great too, I would highly recommend the Acer Aspire One. I bought this for my wife and she loves it! The keyboard is little, but I touch type quickly so that wasn't a problem. The only things I would change is the screen (just a tad too small. If you feel this might be the case with you as well, try the MSI Wind) and the trackpad(doesn't really grip well, buttons are in an odd place making me use 2 hands). Seriously, a great, uber-portable computer!
Exceeds Expectations November 19, 2008
I thought a smaller laptop would be more convenient...this one is that and more. It is fast, had the software I needed and works better than my larger models. And, it runs for hours...no problem on long flights! I also like the case which easily fits in my carry on roller bag.
