10.1-Inch CrystalBrite Screen
The 10.1-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.
Power-Sipping 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).
Customer Reviews
Great netbook, absolutely love it, touch pad not good
Got it from Wal Mart for 298 $. This is a great netbook
pros
- After uninstalling Google Toolbar and McAfee and other useless software came with the netbook, it is really fast. 1 GB is enough, if you do that cleanup.
- Thinner than D150 model, very light weight.
- keyboard is small still usable
cons
- touchpad isn't that good, gesture for scroll doesn't work always.
- screen is glossy, but usable. I prefer glossy screen, some people won't like it.
Don't buy Acer. They're inexpensive for a reason.
I've read about this computer on several websites. Amazon.com had the best price. I bought this thing on June 17. By mid-July the screen started to flicker and then died. I troubleshooted this problem by plugging it into my TV proving that it was the LCD screen that had died in less than 1 month. I used my warranty and I had to pay to send it to their service center in Texas. When I got the computer back the screen flickered the same day I got it, so I sent it back to them. The second time I got the computer back the left side hinge for the LCD screen was broken and obviously gouged with a screw driver and it was missing one of the rubber legs on the bottom, so I sent it in again....... I got it back today. Having owned this computer for just over 4 months, only being able to use if for roughly 2 months, they repaired the hinge and replaced the rubber leg with a SMALLER ONE. Now it does not even sit balanced. Very disappointed in Acer. This is my FORTH Acer computer since 1998 and am very disappointed not only in this computer but their repair service. I hope all my writing here helps someone.
Great netbook!!
Bought this as a late birthday present for $298 at Walmart and was thuroughly impressed;
Pros;
Speed, out of the box (after first set up) is quite fast, boot up time was less then 30 seconds. After removing all the unnecasary junk (original virus program was a memory hog) and did some tweaks in the msconfig program I can boot it up in about 23 seconds x)
Portability, I have had this machine for about a month now and have been able to take it ANYWHERE its very light weight and very compact.
Extras, YAY FOR DOO DADS!! this netbook came with a very nice little 1.3mp camera as a default item and it works like a charm.
Keyboard, Whats the point of having a portabable computer if you can't type on it? do a spreadsheet or two? send an e-mail? Luckily this keyboard is VERY well done including a FULL shift key. Excellent fro browsing (as a matter of fact I'm using it to write this review)
Mouse, If you've done your research, you'll see that alot of the other netbooks hav the annoying touchpad with the left and right buttons on the left and right side of the touchpad. This netbook has one bar under the touchpad that clicks left or right x) VERY well designed.
cons;
Battery life, the battery life on this is moderatly poor about 2-2.5 hours on a charge, I ended up buying a 6 cell for 59 bucks and it lasts about 6-7 hours x)
GLOSSY SCREEN!! what more can I say? the screen is a fingerprint MAGNET!!
If you don't mind the fingerprints on the laptop or the battery life (or are planning on buying a 6cell) then this laptop is PERFECT for you!
