Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data). Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0. Memory
The 1 GB of installed RAM (512 MB onboard memory and one 512 MB DIMM, 533 MHz) can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM, DVD/CD Drive
Because of its size, the Aspire One does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more. Connectivity

Screen, Video and Audio
The 8.9-inch screen has a WSVGA resolution (1024 x 600) and support for up a 262K color depth. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses shared video memory with the main memory. Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers. What's in the Box

I bought two, and have had them for about 3 weeks -- 6-cell, 160GB disk, XP. This machine is absolutely terrific. The only downside is the trackpad, which is admittedly a turkey -- I bought a little HP travel mouse that I tote around. Battery life is close to 6 hours -- I can fly from DC to Seattle and have more than an hour left at the end. (This is the first time ever that I don't think about laptop battery life.) The form factor is wonderful. The keyboard is great -- absolutely no complaints. Performance is fine. Display is nice and bright. And for $400! I'm absolutely delighted with this machine.
Best Netbook November 17, 2008

I am so happy I purchased this unit. This is a great model. I love my Aspire One netbook. It is so small, even lighter than a Mac Air, and has the power to run the programs I use daily. Plus 6 hours of battery life! The Amazon price is also the most competitive.
I haven't noticed any excessive fan noise, probably due to the v.3305 bios update that was preinstalled. The keyboard is in fact small, but takes only a small amount of time to get used to. I am amazed that some don't understand that this lightweight netbook doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. If you have a desktop and a home network, just share your CD drive and you can install any program you have from that disk. I installed Microsoft Office 2007 from my desktop-shared CD drive with no problems at all. You DON'T need to purchase an external drive if you already have a computer that has a CD drive.
Great Little Machine!! November 17, 2008

This Acer w/160 GB and 6-cell battery,(I ordered the white) just rocks! Mine has no noise from the fan. As other reviewers have stated, it does not have an optical drive, so I purchased an external USB powered one for under $100. The case I ordered from Amazon "Acer Aspire One 8.9" Mini-Notebook Premium Memory Foam Pouch Case with Front Pocket - (Black)", holds the Acer netbook, the optical drive w/USB cord, and my Verizon USB broadband thingy w/case. I even installed an HP Multi-Function printer for light home use. This combo is going to be great for traveling. I can just slip the case with all the goodies into a tote/handbag with the ability to view movies (DVD drive inserted) using headphones. Wow! Did I mention also one can use a flash drive for files you don't want to load? Very compact arrangement this little netbook has offered us!

I've owned this little netbook for about a month and here are my conclusions:
PRO:
Good keyboard
Plenty of ports
Good battery life
CON:
Noisy fan runs constantly
Trackpad is tiny & annoying to use
Hinge on screen has limited motion
Ports are not covered and can collect dirt easily
The old adage "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here.
