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
This Acer Aspire One notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. This notbook provides the following connections:

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals — from digital cameras to MP3 players
Secure Digital (SD) card reader, also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMCs)
Multi-in-one card reader supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO, and XD Picture Cards
1 VGA monitor port
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
RJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection

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.

Customer Reviews

good product: worked out of the box. Fast and easy to use.
Linux is hard to learn but there is a user group forum that helps a lot.
Unit is quiet and fast. Video doesn't play well with the mplayer supplied though. More reviews

I Like My Acer Aspire One...: This is a good little laptop for someone who needs a super portable computer. Though the on board OS (Linpus Linux Lite) is fairly straightforward, don't expect it to perform miracles. I intend to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix ASAP (larger community, more apps).
If I would have had a little more money, I probably would have bought an MSI Wind. Having said that,… More reviews

nice hardware, medium software: I bought the aspire one with linpus and 8 Gb solid drive.
The Computer works properly. Internet, office, email is ok.
What I do not like:
1) The Antenna of wireless is weak, often I do not get stable contact.
2) The software linpus is very uncommon. I did not succeed installing any other new linux - software except… More reviews

Acer mini laptop: In one word ... FANTASTIC! The Acer suits my needs perfectly. Easy to carry, set up and operate - it only takes a little getting used to (like any new toy!). But once you get the hang of it - you can't stop. Everyday is a pleasant revelation. So far, I have no regrets.… More reviews

Junk times 2: The first Aspire One lasted maybe two hours - defective charger wouldn't charge battery.
The second Aspire One I purchased about a week after I returned the first. I thought perhaps I just got a lemon and would give them another try. Bad idea.
The battery does not last the estimated 2.5 hours, it's more… More reviews
