 Great little computer. March 22, 2010
Harborside (Ct.)
I bought this unit for travel and battery life. It works great. The only thing bad is the speakers you can't hear them very well,but if you use head phones it is fine.

This the second unit I have purchased and both did not work. The tech support at Acer could not solve the problem. Will no longer attempt a purchase of an Acer product.
 Too small screen March 8, 2010
Ryan Whitwood (Lodi, CA)
I purchased this as a web surfing computer that is small and light. After receiving it and giving it a try for a week, my wife and I both got headaches from squinting trying to focus on the screen. It was just too small for us to use comfortably. The computer worked great and seemed to be plenty fast and have plenty of memory to have multiple web pages open at once including heavy Flash games. The computer was made of good materials and seemed to be of good quality. Keep in mind that if you get any of these netbooks with extended battery life beyond 3 hours and are more than 3 cells, the battery will stick out the back about an inch. In the end we returned it and are purchasing a 13 in ultraportable for a little but more money. I suggest really trying one of these out before making a purchase to see if it is going to be right for you.
Keeps getting better March 7, 2010

I had a Acer 150 and liked the new features of the 250. I was not disappointed.
Acer AOD250 -1955 Netbook with 9 hour battery February 28, 2010
Gloria from Victoria (Victoria, TX)
This netbook and its battery life are just as advertised if you are just surfing the net. Adding an external disk drive halves that. You need to let the battery charge up first, then completely discharge down to nothing then recharge it to get the full 9 hours out of it.
The netbook is light enough to use - the keyboard takes a bit to get used to. Man the screen is small! Hitting the shift key doesn't always work LOL.
Runs better with 2 GB memory installed. I got it with Windows XP installed to save money so I could buy the extra memory and external drive.
I take this to doctor's offices while I'm waiting and love how light and portable it is.
The only negative things I can say for it is that the SPEAKERS suck and are chintzy. I could barely hear any music playing. I had to connect external battery powered speakers for portability to get a good sound. Also, a negative thing is that the 3 USB ports get used up quickly by a wireless mouse and an optical drive that is external that takes up 2 ports but that is easily solved by connecting a 4 port external USB 2.0 hub to it that is portable.
I use this in my bedroom most of the time for chatting, checking email and doing online banking and then for traveling or waiting in doctor's offices. It works great with a wireless broadband USB modem for those purposes.
I have a dog at home and the netbook attracts dog hairs like crazy to it for some oddball reason.
The webcam takes pretty good pics - even in low light but is a cheezy looking pic.
I was pleased with the overall performance and for $280 is a nice purchase.
