 You get what you pay for September 3, 2010
Brie Danielle (Seattle, WA)
I bought this for a few reasons:
1) I wanted a small laptop to carry around in my purse
2) I wanted a brand new computer that was not loaded down with stuff, because I was tired of the speed of my ten year old mac ibook.
3) I chose Acer for the price, and because when I played with them in a store, the Acer seemed to be of higher quality than the other netbooks out at the same time.
4) I chose this particular one because, though it was still small enough to fit in my purse, it was the bigger of the 2 smallest Acer computers, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to type on anything smaller
5) I loved the red
6) I bought it when I did because they had run out of batteries for it, and were sending out extended life batteries to anyone who ordered during that time
It is not a terrible computer. I would've given it 2.5 stars if I could have, but 2 or 3 were what I had to choose from, and I hate it more than I love it. It is small enough to fit in my purse, and I quickly got used to the smaller keyboard. The red is very pretty, though it got scratched, so there is an area that the red paint has already come off. That sucks. I had someone remove all the junk applications that came on it, and I loaded AVG and Open Office (the Microsoft Office that comes on it is temporary and stops working after 3 months). I've also loaded my entire iTunes library and some pictures. My available space is still almost entirely available. Even with that being the case, this computer is slow. It is unacceptably slow. There is no excuse for it to be as slow as it is. Can I say that another way? My ten year old mac ibook had a reason for being slow. This computer that I just bought less than a year and a half ago and have barely added anything to should not be. It has no right.
My biggest complaint about this computer is difficult to put into words. It would be so much easier to demonstrate, but I will try to explain it. If I hit the shift key to capitalize the first letter of a word, and then I keep typing, if it is acting slow and not keeping up with my typing, when it finally spits out what I wrote, it has neglected to capitalize the letter I commanded it to, but instead has capitalized an entire sentence because those were the letters it processed in the same moment it processed that I hit the shift key. Does that make sense? So I may have actually typed "I went to the store to buy some eggs," and what my computer will type is "i WENT TO THE STORE TO BUy some eggs." OH, this pisses me off! I am a very fast and accurate typist, and this slows my typing time to about half, because I continually have to delete everything it wrote, and slowly retype it the way it should've done the first time. I would not have purchased this computer if I had known about this glitch. I'd never heard of a computer doing such a thing, and there is simply no excuse for it.
On a similar note, something I think it does for the same reason as it does the above mentioned nonsense, but I felt I had to list separately for people who aren't super fast typists, and therefore think the above problem won't affect them: Another thing it does is if, say, I type out a whole document and then hit "Ctrl A," to select the whole page, and then "Ctrl C" to copy it, a moment later, all I am left with is a C on the page. Even though I was definitely holding the Control key at the same time as the C, it forgets that and wipes out all my text and replaces it with just a C. All you have to do then is immediately go to Edit, Undo, but you shouldn't have to even do that. This is ridiculous.
Another problem with it is lately the ONLY USB port seems to be getting tired. Sometimes it won't charge my iphone or ipod, or it will give up before it is done. It caused me more than a little bit of panic and aggravation last week when midway through an iphone update, after my iphone had been completely wiped of all my personal information and applications, it stopped updating. I couldn't use my phone for 14 hours because that is how long it took before I could convince the computer and USB port to finish the update. I know it was the fault of the USB port because the error iTunes kept giving me was the error code that said the interruption was a bad USB cable or port, and not only was I using a brand new iphone cable, but I even tried a different one with the same result. So I don't have a lot of faith that this USB port will last much longer.
On a side note, that I really don't think is the computer's fault (though I don't know, it could be), web pages do not realize or care that you are on a teeny tiny laptop. They do not compensate for it. You have to scroll back and forth to see the whole page, and sometimes you cannot even access certain things you would be able to see and access on a normal sized laptop or computer.
The one credit I'll give this computer is that, though it wasn't meant to be, it has become my primary computer. And I use the computer A LOT. It is on 24 hours per day, and I only shut it off about once a month for the night. Additionally, I am actually using it for about 15 hours most days. So for being a cheap and crappily made little sorry excuse for a computer, I'll give it props that it's held up under my heavy use of it.
The one other thing I'll compliment is not the computer, but the extended life battery. I get about 9 hours of use from it. That is pretty awesome.
All in all, I'll say I am sorry I bought it, but for the price I paid, I guess it's not that bad of a computer. Just realize that you get what you pay for, and just because it's shiny and new does not mean it will be a good computer, so don't make the mistake I did and expect it to be.
 Acer Aspirer One Review July 17, 2010
Lynne Baker (Eufaula, AL, US)
This is the worst laptop I have ever owned or used.....problems with every aspect of the machine and had a difficult time with customer support through Acer! Thanks goodness Amazon gave me a refund! NEVER BUY THIS LAPTOP!!!!!
New Acer not working out of the box July 16, 2010
Donald L. Desper (Aniak, AK)
We bought this computer and it was delivered promptly by Amazon. Out of the box, the wireless network card did not work. We contacted Acer and they sent us suggestions to fix the thing for 3 days including reformatting the hard disk, reinstalling all software, uninstalling the wirless driver and reinstalling it just to mention a few. Finally, they suggested we send it to a repair center in Texas where it is now and we haven't heard anything from them for over a week now. I don't think that a consumer should be responsible for making a computer work when it is bought new with a warranty. Acer even told us that we had to pay the one way shipping to get it to the repair center. I suggest buying something other than Acer products due to the problems we have had with consumer support and the fact that the computer did not work properly out of the box.
Died after 1 yr 3 months July 7, 2010
N. Nln (VA, USA)
well, it started with clicking sounds, then after few months, it died on me! I guess it could be what 1 out of 5 products that it would die on u?! the rating is based on the durability of the product which is not long.
Acer products no good? July 5, 2010
Heather
Okay I bought the Acer Aspire Netbook AOD150 and it was pretty good for as long as it worked. One day I opened it up and although the green charge light was on, it would not turn on. Thought the battery was dead, bought a new one (80.00 ouch) and that did not help it. I look on internet and there are plenty of things about this problem. Read about bios flash for a fix, but the instuctions do not match the file that Acer allowed me to download from their bios section. So, *sigh* after less than year it seems to be junk.
Should have known, we bought a nice Acer desktop which only lasted 2 years before it died. What ever happened to the old days when a computer worked until it was so out of date you had to buy a new one?
I lways thought Acer was a good compay but I won't buy another. This bios thing, if its really what is wrong, is way too hard of a fix for a new computer.
Don't buy Acer.
My husband's Dell has been perfect....
