Been using this 10.1" Acer several hours a day over the last week. We bought this to replace a dead desktop with the intention of having something we could pass around in the family room and not be tied to a desktop back in the office. So far, so good. One of us always has it in use. The smaller keyboard still takes a little getting used to, biggest concern is the Page Up/Page Dn buttons right next to the arrow keys. It's too easy to hit them and then you've jumped where you didn't want to go. Touch pad is lousy, you'll want to connect a real mouse.
There's quite a bit of crapware to uninstall such as a trial version of Office, Works, McAfee, eSobi, etc. I got rid of McAfee because it bogs your system down, I've put AVG 8 free and Comodo free firewall instead.
Once the crap was gone and I upgraded the RAM to 2GB for $15, it's really snappy at booting up and loading Firefox 3.5, IE8, or Chrome 2.0. It has enough power to handle anything web related we've thrown at, including kids games and streaming Netflix through the VGA output to our HDTV at HD resolution. Not sure if it would choke on Office or not, we use Gmail & Google Docs, it is a NETbook after all... I can't wait for the Google Chrome OS to come out, I will definitely cut the Microsoft cord.
PROS -
* Light weight, extremely portable
* Slick looking, good construction
* Powerful enough for handling anything web related without choking
* Bright clear screen
* Able to stream web content in HD to HDTV's through VGA cable
* Battery life is decent, should be better for 6-cell, could be wireless mouse I'm using running it down faster than normal
* Comes with XP instead of Vista
CONS -
* Small keyboard learning curve-bad placement of page up/dn buttons
* Runs a little hot
* Speakers are almost non-existent, can barely hear them on full blast
* Touch pad is hard to use
* Crapware, but this is a given on retail computers
We are very satisfied with the value and quality of this netbook. Go ahead, pull the trigger!Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD150-1920 10.1-Inch Ruby Red Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life.
