Acer Aspire One AOD 250 Review

While Acer wasn’t the first to come out with netbooks, they have overtaken Asus as the hottest seller in netbook computers! Acer is very popular for a reason, and they continue that tradition on with the Acer Aspire One AOD250. This particular model has a 10.1 inch screen, and is an upgrade from the incredibly popular Acer Aspire One AOD 150. The difference here is that the 250 model is now sleeker and more light weight. It also has a nearly full-size keyboard and black bezel.

This model is popular because the Acer brand is very dependable. Still, some people prefer something with longer battery life. This particular model comes with the three cell battery, which equals up to three hours of battery life. You’ll want to consider getting one with a higher cell battery if you travel frequently and will not be able to get to an outlet often.

Still, this model is very easy to travel with. While the Samsung is incredibly light, the Acer Aspire One AOD250 only weighs 2.4 pounds! This is incredibly light, so it will definitely not break your back as you’re traveling with it.

You’ll also be glad to know there is an integrated WebCam and microphone. This makes it perfect for connecting via Skype or whatever video chat system you prefer to use. They call this the Crystal Eye WebCam, which delivers smooth video streaming and high quality images even if the lighting around you isn’t so great.

Like many a mini notebook computer of its kind, you’ll find a 160 GB hard drive. It also has 1 GB of installed RAM, and 54g wi-fi networking (standard). It also comes stocked with a memory card reader, USB ports and tons of functionality. This includes built-in e-mail, web browsing, and other digital media applications.

Since many people who get netbooks want to express their individual style, you’ll enjoy that comes in colors such as diamond black, ruby red, sapphire blue, and seashell white. There really is a choice out there for everyone!

Of course, the processor speed is at the top of many people’s lists when they are looking into purchasing a notebook. Since this is one of the latest models, it includes the 1.6 GHz Intel atom 270 processor. Many people report that they do not notice any lag time between more powerful, larger computers and the smaller Acer aspire notebook.

You really can’t go wrong with the Acer Aspire One AOD250!
