Acer Computer AOD250-1706 Aspire One 10.1" Netbook - Ruby Red (LU.S700B.198) Review

My thirteen year old daughter used some of her babysitting money to buy herself a cute little Acer One Netbook, she was delighted with it and asked me to check it out.   I was somewhat scepticle about the neetbook, it seemed so small and toy-like, but once I used hers I was hooked.  

My fifteen year old daughter also decided to get one, and there I was with my 15 inch Acer Laptop computer envying the girls with their "toys".    I was about to go on a flight and decided that with the long battery life and lightweight feature of this computer that it would be a great travelling companion, so the third Acer One came to our home.

It was great on the flight, not big and bulky like my laptop, easy to carry in a shoulder bag and easy to stow under the seat for take off and landings.   I had downloaded some books that I wanted to read and had my web design software so I was able to work on websites as well, making use of all the hours on planes and airports.

It has a web camera and a good size [160gb] hard drive, the same as my larger laptop.  It is now my prefered computer and just today I took it with me when I was driving my daughters to a few places they wanted to go.  I even managed to find free internet access and checked my email while waiting for the girls to finish their shopping.

I think this is the best computer I have ever owned for ease of use & portability.  I was a laptop fan since I bought my first one about eight years ago, thinking it was great to be untied from the desk, with this little gem I feel that freedom is magnified.
