Acer Aspire One A150-Bw

This is my first review on Tweakers.net Almost a month ago I did a show in MartiniPlaza an Acer Aspire One won. The version I got was in the hands of the Acer Aspire One A150 BW White with Windows XP Home Edition. Meanwhile I have the laptop for over a month in possession and so it is time for a review. Contents : Product First impression Appearance Battery Life Practical Use Conclusion Product Obviously the laptop was delivered to me in a box, the box was the following: - Acer Aspire One - Charge Cable - Leather Case - Transparent sheet to protect images and buttons - Manual - Warranty booklet The mini laptop also has the following specifications: - Intel Atom Processor 1.6 GHz - 8.9 "CrystalBrite WSVGA - 1GB DDR2 - 120 GB according to Acer and 150GB according to my findings - Multi-in-1 card reader - Storage Expansion slot - 10/100 Base T LAN connection - 802.11 b / g Wireless LAN - Soft Load: Windows XP Home Edition - VGA connector - Output for audio / microphone input - 3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports - 0.3 Megapixel Webcam For the rest it was the laptop came preloaded with the following software: - Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Trial - InterVideo WinDVD - Acer eRecovery Management - McAfee Security Suite 90-day trial First impression when I saw the mini laptop for the first time, which was at the fair, I was pretty excited. That laptops can be so small! I did not really have much time with it, and I walked (and have obviously left me) when I went to pick up the laptop after winning the first impression: very promising! That I can use for good school. With that in mind, I got it now already almost a month to use for school Appearance Through the first impression we get to the look of the mini laptop right. If we then look we see that the laptop tight and robust designed by Acer. It is also striking that the Aspire One weighs little, according to our scale, it weighs 1.0 kilograms exactly as stated in the product, the Aspire One a CrystalBrite screen. This means that it has a gloss screen. This can be a disadvantage when working in places where many and often sunny. Me The black border around the screen and the top of the folded laptop shine. This has the disadvantage that, particularly in the edge (top and bottom) of laptop many fingerprints remain. This ensures that you often need to clean to make this as good and as bad as it can prevent the laptop. Moreover, the mini laptop keyboard with QWERTY layout, and is under the keyboard a small touchpad. Despite the small keys is nice work on the small keys. however small touchpad below the keyboard does not like. It is simply too stiff and react somewhat slowly. Additionally, there are also just a left and right side of the touchpad. These buttons do not work well, pressing these keys is in my opinion a bit too heavy. Just as with a regular laptop can do tapping, so the mouse is in that respect is not really necessary. The on and off button above the keyboard is in my opinion a bit loose and you have the button also quite far in pressing for the laptop or To turn off the switch is too deeply hidden. Finally, the mini-laptop with a handy slider which will pull the wireless network can be. enabled or disabled Battery Life The Acer Aspire One comes with a 3 cell 11.1 volt Li-Ion battery. This is in practice about two and a half hours, and that is Acer pretty long, but for a mini laptop is pretty disappointing. I actually expected that the battery at least 3 to 4 hours would go out, but that is not the case. If you still want to do with the battery for longer than Acer offers the opportunity to purchase. € 99 for a 6 cell battery Consequence is that the battery will protrude slightly on the backside, but this is not like to be. disturbing Practical Use As mentioned, the laptop comes with an Intel Atom N270 processor and 1GB memory, and I wanted to use it for school. him I have just the basic system of Windows XP Home Edition on the laptop and turn it with a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. I was sorry that Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 was, this was not good, it was slow. In that respect it is similar to Windows Vista and 1GB memory, it runs a bit , but it's still better to run it. 2 GB of memory , so I am therefore went back to Microsoft Office 2003, and now it runs like a charm. Moreover, there is a Security Suite by McAfee. This is not pleasant to work with because he places a toolbar McAfee SiteAdvisor top of the screen to the Internet, and this while the screen is already so small. Removal is not much point because when you open a new tab, or restarting the browser toolbar is again. Additionally, he has curtsey Internet Explorer to 'hang' when opening YouTube pages. equally However, this would can be another virus scanner such as installing AVG corrected. Just to focus on the positives: I'm certainly impressed by the quality of the laptop, although Windows at a fairly low resolution, the picture remains sharp. Furthermore boot the laptop in about 40 seconds after booting Windows runs pretty fast. ( Movie of the boot ) The applications such as Microsoft Office Word running well, and is little else to say. Conclusion I have the Aspire One month used for school, and have come to the conclusion that I better get my bigger for my own education laptop can use. Acer Aspire One A150 BW is a nice gadget with nice performance. Because the laptop comes with Windows XP Home and a 120 GB hard drive, the laptop is ideal for word processing, web browsing, photos, and watching videos. I would therefore like to recommend to people who like to have a computer, laptop, but also want to spend. much money on a desktop weather In addition, the Aspire One does not take too much space and an external mouse, there is one home soon a nice little system stand.
