When i first ordered this netbook I didn’t realize how small it was going to be. Then I got it and going from a 17.6 in laptop to a 10.1 in netbook was quite a shocker. I saw that I had 30 days for a return so I thought I would just try it. It took me a little while to get use to the smaller keyboard and I had made mention to my mother in law that I would give it to her once I got a bit of a bigger one. Well after a few weeks I really got attached! I LOVE how light it is. I LOVE how small it is to carry (i just throw it in my purse when i go to the library to study or to the laundry mat). I had kaspersky 2010 antivirus on it…but a 1 gb ram…then my netbook started to slow down HORRIBLY! I was so frustrated with it, but then I upgraded the ram to 2 gb. Still slow…I uninstalled K2010…downloaded windows FREE antivirus and use google chrome as my browser and now my netbook is the fastest thing ever. I am soooooo happy and in love with it I ordered my mother in law the same one, but white. This is perfect for someone who just needs internet and a typing program. I talked my mom into getting the 11.6 in one in red. She loves it too!
Only con for me (amd my mom and mother in law) was all the games it had preinstalled. But revo uninstaller saved me from the clutter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS for the work traveler or any student!

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).
