I purchased the 11.6 inch screen version from future shop.
No problems so far.
It pulls in week wireless signals alot better than my laptop does.
One feature not found on other netbooks is the power zoom on the touch pad.
Two fingers placed on the touch pad, spread your fingers and voila!…. blind people can read.
Battery life is acceptable with the three cell.
I would buy another one.

I wanted an Aspire One but chose the Toshiba NB 205 because of the keyboard. My large hands would not fit the other netbook keyboards. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Though it’s expensive it can be useful because of the specifications that are trendy and useful to those always on the go.

Acer Aspire One was also in my list before, but I ended up with the new LGX110 which is a little bigger than the aspire one because I find the laptop really small for me and my big hands. Thanks for the information anyway, and I’d still love to have an Aspire One because it looks really nice.

I bought an Acer Aspire One yesterday. I’m hoping to return it to Best Buy tomorrow.

When setting up, do not choose the default language “Canada: French/English” or everything will be in FRENCH!

I contacted Acer about the problem. They claim they ONLY fix is to purchase their Recovery CD. One small problem…the Aspire One does NOT have an optical (CD-R) drive. Acer suggests I also buy an external drive, so I can run their CD. The inexpensive choice is quickly becoming anexpensive choice!

Stay away from Acer.

I love my Acer Aspire One. It’s Wifi works perfect, and it’s loaded with Windows XP and ubuntu. With ubuntu, wireless had problems and with the newest kernel Internet doesn’t work at all, but there’s a Wiki page on their site with many many fixes for it. Overall, it’s tons better than my old pieces of junk, and it’s actually lasted longer.

The Acer Aspire One which I recently purchased has No wireless connectivity problems . You must expect this netbook to go above and beyond what it was designed for. By the way this little missive was penned from the dashboard of my car , using the wireless of the 7-11 I am parked in…

The wifi functionality of the Aspire One is terrible. You can find hundreds of complains about this online. I tried to return my laptop after 3 weeks of ownership and Acer has refused to acknowledge that this is a major and extremely common defect and would not take it back. Everything else about the computer was fine but I won’t buy another Acer product ever again. My advice: Don’t buy this product or any other Acer until they fix the bugs.
