Acer Aspire One A150-Ab

The device comes in a not too big box.
As usual, the box is larger than the content, but the box is not important.
Upon unpacking you get four packets against.

The netbook packed in a plastic bag
The Sleeve for Netbook
A bag of books
A bag with the adapter
It is therefore right that there is a CD included while the netbook does not have a CD / DVD player. In the bag with books The CD contains the text:. Recovery Disc Creator Stick As the name suggests, this disc, it is intended to make so you can still make a recovery on your netbook via a flash drive recovery usb stick. After unpacking the netbook from its plastic bag and folded out it is striking that around screen protection film is stuck. Unfortunately, this foil glued to the bottom (around the hinges) so that film is very difficult to remove from the hinges. After a few minutes calm and to have the front and back of the screen is still all liners. Drawn Policy After removing all other film and unpacking the adapter is it time to turn it. When starting the netbook is nothing strange to see. Just the standard Windows XP Logo After a few minutes of waiting to have asked the laptop to enter some data. After filling it in, the laptop will automatically reboot and you have to wait half an hour before you can really use it. This is because Acer because some applications are installed. After the first restart These applications I will remove later than again. Now, more than an hour not looked (in connection with the above installation) to the netbook also allows the laptop ready for me. The netbook has a wifi card on board standard so I put the switch to Wifi and my network is already found immediately. After entering the security code for my WiFi network I can. The Internet immediately Download and virus updates are the first things I should do. This also takes it back several hours. After more than half a day of download and install updates can I also finally really use the netbook. After several weeks of intensive use, I would start up the netbook to check my mail but to my surprise I get the BIOS to see anything. No logo, no beeps, nothing. Only a black backlit screen. A phone call to the Acer helpdesk tells me that this is a known issue for which they already have a workaround. This will be mailed to me within a few minutes along with a clear instruction how to apply it to my netbook. Workaround The mail contains a zip file containing two files. The manual that comes is that I need to place it in the root of a USB stick and the netbook with a special key combination to start. After having about 3 mins suddenly I see the Acer logo Bios again and I can work again. This phenomenon has in the time I've already done four times this netbook which is why I now always have a USB stick with me containing the above two files. few weeks after hety above problem I can with the built-in wifi card not connect to my network. Luckily I have a usb wifi adapter that came with my router wast. Upon installation, I can again just internet and I take this issue are not contact the helpdesk. Otherwise, should I send him, I lost all my files and the netbook can I not use it for about 3 weeks. Because I desperately need the netbook for my work, I decided then not to do this. Due to my work I have the netbook (next to Windows XP) Ubuntu also installed by a boot screen. Both systems (Windows and Ubuntu) also works with no problems (except that ubuntu my wifi card does not see, but ubuntu is only used with a cable). It is a shame that the netbook standard, but a 3 cell battery is making him only about Another half to two and a half hours going. But this is to stretch to about 3 hours by switching you do not need (such as webcam, lan when not in use, wifi when not in use, etc.) from the hardware Conclusion The netbook works well, but has a short battery life. This is to be solved by ordering a larger battery, but then again these batteries have the disadvantage that they are larger so the netbook does not fit into his sleeve. 's processor speed is normal, that is not good, but certainly not bad. Kwa 512Mb memory was there in may sit so you have available 1.5 Gb more. This would allow the netbook just slightly better work in several heavy applications. pity it is that the netbook in as many months suddenly once a problem with the BIOS, so you always have the aforementioned USB stick when you need it. Altogether the laptop just a wonderful device to work
