subject: Considering Purchasing The Acer Aspire One Notebook? Read This Review [print this page] If you are looking for a great deal on a notebook computer, but was unsure of which one to buy, the Acer Aspire One Notebook is probably a great place to start for a variety of reasons. If you are looking for something that is small and featherweight, and can surf the web much more easier than the phone in your pocket, this is a great choice for you. Listed in a very affordable price range, this computer can do what most iPad's and other tablet computers are capable of doing. In the following paragraphs, we will present several reasons why you should get the Acer Aspire One over any other notebook computer right now.
Affordability is the first major benefit that we shall discuss in regard to the Acer Aspire One Notebook. Although laptops are very convenient, for over a decade they have been too expensive leading many people to purchase a desktop computer instead. In fact, until the Aspire One notebooks were released, most laptop computers were simply priced out of the range of the typical consumer. The going rate for one of these notebooks is around $250 which is a bargain at any price. If you do a lot of traveling, you'll really appreciate having this notebook computer because it fits in virtually any bag quickly and easily.
Although this notebook is cost effective, full featured notebooks are available that are more versatile than the Acer One. One possible alternative is the Aspire One Happy Notebook that has an operating system used by both Android and Windows 7. Acer Happy computers are known for their glossy and shiny appearance that can be seen from far away. Although you will save over $200 by getting an Acer One computer, your extra money will be well spent for the glossy appearance on the Happy Acer models. One drawback of this model is that the Android OS was really made for a phone rather than a computer and doesn't function that well. You might want to wait for a few months prior to purchasing this Acer notebook until the operating system is up to par.
The Acer Aspire One is a notebook computer on the lower end of the price scale, so people don't need perfection with it, but it does well with supplying basic functions. One of the few things users complain about is the noise that the computer's cooling fan makes. Some cooling fans are louder than others, but they all make noise when the computer is on. If you have a hard time dealing with noises, then the noise from this computer may bother you. It is noisier than some, so it might annoy other people when you are in a place that is quiet like a library.
Regardless of what computer brand you look at, no one can beat the Acer Aspire One for features and the purchase price. Some users don't like the smaller keyboard, but this is simply part of the compact and lightweight design. Although the battery life is not that long, you can use it while plugged in to the wall at many locations. Overall, the Acer Aspire One gives you all the functions you'll find on much more costly computers.
