If you are in the market for this type of device, do not purchase an ACER.

Simply put, it will not work well and no one will care.

This Acer netbook is truly appealing due to its size and design. After a few months of use a major defect came to light: the AC/DC adapter ping needle inside the computer is connected to the computers main card, so apon breaking after light use it could not be fixed without a major investment of a new card, almost what the little machine cost to begin with. This is without a doubt a major flaw in design, which will keep this model very close to the trash bin, or in the repair shop on a permanent basis. I would not suggest its purchase. Acer and its affiliated workshops were quick to argue that this defect was not covered in its warranty, which made this defect even worse. Perhaps ACER should learn a lesson from Toyota instead of selling a model of pure LEMON. Beware.

These are made terribly. After two weeks there were issues with the hardware. With the modem, with the power, a short in the speakers, HD and Motherboard communication issues. I is has been “repaired” three times and we have been able to use it 6 weeks out of the four months we have owed. Just don’t buy it bad product with bad customer service.

After reading quite a few positive reviews of this little netbook on Amazon, I went ahead and bought it earlier this week at Target (in store) for only $199-a great price! I had a smaller Acer with XP and wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, and purchasing this netbook was much cheaper than upgrading the older one. BEWARE — this netbook comes with Windows 7 STARTER edition (you can’t even change the wallpaper), and this edition of Works 9 comes with ADDS — which are not only extremely annoying, but considerably slow down processing a document. The adds appear on the right of the screen, which cuts down lots of viewing area when trying to create a spreadsheet. I took it back 2 days later and went to BestBuy and purchased a great Toshiba laptop for $299 with full versions of everything on it and am much happier. I’ll just keep my little Windows XP Acer – which was much faster anyway, till 2014, when Microsoft stops giving us security updates and it catches a virus and dies.

I love the battery life, but the small screen (though very bright) combined with the slow performance, was just too big a negative – I’ll buy one when they’ve improved them. . .
