Customer Ratings & Reviews

I actually traded in some credit card points for the diamond black AOD250-1151 and have owned it for a little over a month. I have used it everyday. I changed the operating system to Windows 7 32bit, the installation of 7 was seamless (all the xp drivers from the acer website can be used with Win 7), and the netbook seems to run a bit quicker with 7 compared to xp. The build of the netbook is very good, the keyboard is not as spacious as some of the other netbooks out there, but is very acceptable and is a breeze to get use to. The screen is very bright and vivid. The 3 cell battery sits flush in the unit and lasts about 3 hours with the screen set to the dimmest setting, just cruising the net. Also replacement 3 cells are relatively cheap, I have researched. The touchpad has multi touch function and is a little small but still responsive, the right/left click buttons are on a rocker button which is very responsive. The web cam is not the best, but does video chatting like a champ, built in mic is really good. No bluetooth. The hardrive, ram, and wifi card are readily accessible on the bottom of the netbook for upgrade purposes. It has seperate mic and headphone jacks, vga out, 3 usb's, ethernet jack, the charger brick is also very small. So far I am very impressed with this machine. I was going to upgrade the ram to the max of 2GB, but after installing Windows 7, I don't think it's necessary. This netbook has a solid feel and is great for video conferencing.
