Acer Aspire One D150-BTB

Dear Readers, The thing that described in the product review below state is purely for your own knowledge and experience. Acer Aspire D150 first impression after I could write a good experience with Acer was my second choice again Acer netbook. Is that weird? you could say that it was obvious, but believe me it was definitely not. The huge range of choice that has emerged in the mini-notebook market makes it very difficult for the consumer. I will further explain here why precisely the Acer Aspire D150 for the second time brought me tempted to purchase. Design The Acer Aspire D150, like its predecessors, a lot of attention paid to the appearance. While this Acer Aspire D150 yet again reminded me very much of the A110 remember. But that was certainly positive because the A110 was a big hit. So the idea behind Never change a winning strategy. Was strongly reflected in the design back. Yet Acer knew there as to cause it was again a unique Aspire. A unique twist to Build Quality Acer Aspire D150 feels very sturdy. Unlike its predecessors, the D150 good quality and does not feel the plastic on. Screen The 10.1-inch WSVGA screen had a razor sharp image. With 1024 * 600 pixels made ​​it look very nice. Screen design was again Glossy. You have to love it. But what struck me anyway is that if you have the screen brightness at best put you well can work on the glossy screen. Outside in the sun Nice was Cristal eye webcam mounted on top of the screen, together with the microphone. I had to say that the webcam surprised me in a positive way, because even in the dark computing on the laptop was still image. Keyboard and Trackpad Today, there are so many manufacturers with a mini notebook that much choice and distinction. Everyone is looking for a mini notebook want to buy. Two much-discussed components of a mini notebook that the consumer is very important to have the keyboard and trackpad. Although the first generation of mini laptops these parts were very cramped to be able to adapt as compact as possible is that today no longer needed. Because there is a larger mini notebook with 10.1-inch screens have emerged and even the 11.6 and 12.1, there is plenty of room for a good keyboard and trackpad that meets the requirement of the consumer. However, Acer has not change her keyboard. The keyboard was identical to that of his predecessors. This led to some concern amongst some consumers but personally I think it's wonderful keyboard typing. The trackpad does have undergone a change. Thus, the trackpad itself is much larger and therefore easier to use. Found their way to the usual place. Well the left and right mouse buttons What some have called a point of improvement that should have been.'s Not one but two mouse buttons At the moment it is a button that contains both the left and right button. WiFi Built-Atheros card is particularly strong in the signal. I tested it by moving the laptop to places where, according to the computer with a built-in 54mbps wireless card with no attene range while the laptop of the same distance the signal is very strong and has the Internet from any location that single problem. For those who still want more so as it is already given below is very simple to replace the card. The built-in Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, not the n draft. Nowadays you see more and more new mini notebooks come with a built-in 802.11 b / g / n wirles card. Installing windows xp first time having experience with installations of XP computers at home I'm still pleasantly surprised. The Acer Aspire D150 it was very easy to get your computer. Use and install Everything went pretty fast in a spacious 25 minutes I was completely installed and well. It was a much more pleasant than I was used to install on desktop computers. Graphics Performance The integrated Intel 945GSE graphics chipset is really a pure base map. View websites and text documents still succeeds. A video on youtube is still possible, but more than that to become a difficult job with this card. The older games are to do so, but a little play today, you can forget about using the built-in map. For those who want more it will have to wait very shortly get the mini notebooks with Nvidia Ion platform on the market. These are graphically a lot stronger. But let's not forget what you paid and for which the mini notebooks are launched. They are pure basic notebooks in small format and then expect any graphical delights. Upgrading what his predecessor was a point of criticism is a relief for the real tweakers. Upgrading this mini notebook's made ​​very user-friendly. By simply removing one screw, you have access to your hdd your memory and your wifi. Update 10-08-2009: Today been upgraded to 2GB Kingston SODIMM dd2 677mh (€ 29.20) He runs like a train. Upgrading was very simple and works immediately without installation detects the laptop upgrade. Built in Speakers also in the design of the D150, Acer has chosen to place. speakers bottom of the machine To be honest, it is not the best choice. Some surfaces do to echo the sound and other surfaces express the sound off. It should be noted that the sound it can produce it sounds very good for a built in speaker. Colors I own the blue D150. The D150 comes in: blue, white / black, red, and black / gray. The colors are easily accessible so that the consumer has the choice for the consumer. In the previous production of the Acer 5 colors were very difficult to reach. Disadvantage in design does say that there is not enough ventilation, but whatever it is I suspect there are still points of improvement for Acer. Namely the bottom get very hot when the device is in use. It is the HDD very hot become Specifications 160GB HDD Toshiba 5400 RPM (an SSD instead of a HDD is possible) 1GB RAM Memory 533MHz SODIMM DDR2 (easily upgradeable to 2GB SODIMM DDR2 677MHz) INTEL ATOM N280 Clocked at 1.66 GHz (without clocking ) with a 677MHz FSB and 512KB cache Wifi built in Atheros card (on the front of the D150 a switch button mounted makelijk and uitschakkelen the wlan making it easy you can save battery) Ethernet 10/100 VGA output port 3x USB 2.0 MIC and headphone jack KENSINGTON lock Power connection port 3 cell battery that lasts 2.5 to 3 hours at full load (6 Cell in battery is possible) Bleutooth (optional manufacturing) Soft Load MICROSOFT © WINDOWS © XP Home Edition SP 3 10.1 inch screen WVGA 1024 * 600 pixels Built in SPEAKERS, MIC & Webcam Built in Multi Card Reader 5 in 1 Pre Installed The D150 comes with a lot of software installed. I believe, however, that they had better flour feathers on a CD so that you let everyone choose to install or not. use the D150 is very pleasant to use. It consumes relatively little energy to tasks where other mini notebooks with more effort. Also, the Acer fairly quiet. Too bad that the HDD is not always quiet. the memory and the processor to respond quickly to each other allowing fast performance can be put down. Booting Also a nice windfall is to start on the Acer Aspire One D150. So does it start 29.24 sec. With me this, I clocked three times and it came out medium. Is still a good start-up time. After 41.32 seconds, the system is ready for use and is all loaded. I think it's a decent performance. Accu The D150 I have has a 3 cell battery. When I have it in use is avg and I listen music and I'm on the Internet. Furthermore, does the D150 are updates. I can Accu spacious 3 hours. When I leave my computer running over a virus can I use the battery in total 2.5 hours at full load. In a neat time for a 3 cell battery already on the market now that contain 3 cell batteries but last longer. Fortunately there is an option to a 6 cell battery for the D150 Conclusion The D150 is more than they are worth money. This inexpensive device has plenty of features at an affordable price. Acer has then still room for improvement yet the D150 another step forward. Shame about the HDD and the battery is a little on the short side. But further upgrade an excellent device properly and you can have lots of fun. Thank you for reading this review. Are there any questions, comments, tips or missing information that you would like to see back in the review. Let me know and I will try to answer / improve Sincerely TwEAKer66
