The Acer Aspire One netbook is a top choice for college students and busy business travelers due to its portability and large 10-inch screen size. You’ll notice the difference right away in weight – just pick up a 15 to 17-inch laptop and see how much heavier it feels.
If you like doing video web chats, you’ll be happy to know that the Acer Aspire One includes a built-in webcam and microphone ready for use with Skype, or any other video conferencing service. The bright and shiny screen has a resolution of 1024x600 and reads well under most lighting conditions.
The keyboard is small, but adequate for a netbook. Some users experience difficulty with the touchpad. Possible fixes for this is to go to touchpad properties and turn off the virtual scrolling, or get a wireless mouse.
It doesn’t have a cd drive, but you have the option of adding on an external CD/DVD drive via USB. It also features two stereo speakers and an integrated audio card.
Most ownerse really love the long battery life that the 6-cell battery gives them. All-in-all the Acer Aspire One is a very reliable netbook that you’ll find works just as well as those bulky laptops.
Price: $320+
