Acer Aspire One user reviews (Linpus Linux Lite, White)

Cons 600 pixel screen is too short. 1024x768 please! Mouse buttons on side are goofy. No wifi on/off switich (airplane mode?) No optical drive is more of a pain than anticipated. Hard drive (or fan?) noise very noticeable. Battery life too short. on September 15, 2008 by headnut  | Read full review

Cons wireless stop working after 3 days. no icon for wireless. Acer support not ready to support this computer. Recovery disk comes with unit which has no ODD. Why? should have come with SD card recovery. No note book case or bag on August 8, 2008 by 40hours  | Read full review

Cons no optical drive, small storage on budget version. not a laptop replacement on December 30, 2008 by bolor777  | Read full review

Cons If you plan to use it often, I suggest investing in an extra stick of ram. It is not bad, but it lacks the crispness of higher RAM. Upgrading hardware is a little tricky. Battery life is dismal. on November 10, 2008 by ibzu  | Read full review

Cons The side clicks on the touchboard are unnatural!
Lack of bluetooth drivers on the market and in the pc ... linux is not a well supported software if you want to buy a wireless mouse.
Battery life could be better but not that bad. on September 24, 2008 by tigerandyx9  | Read full review

Cons I just wanted to make it clear to people who have owned this product (myself included) and obtained a bad impression of Linux from it that this is NOT the best Linux has to offer. It's not even close.
Linux is a fabulous thing. There are many different f on August 21, 2011 by craigd92  | Read full review

Cons Already had battery replaced, issue with screen(vertical stripes that show up once in a while). Sent netbook for repair and Acer replaced video chip. Almost 1.5yr after purchase same failue with dispay shows up. Out of warranty means 99$ for repair. on January 1, 2011 by Lmasseus  | Read full review

Cons fast while it works but after had corrupted bios .acer should look on better recovery on bios as the one is out there not function on 100% of cases,lots of people looking for new bios recovery on July 20, 2009 by agimtr  | Read full review

Cons Buttons: under the trackpad: hard to press, but not a real issue as you can just lightly tap on the trackpad to press the left button on May 28, 2009 by yalki  | Read full review

Cons Keyboard could be a little bigger and I wish it came with a system disk, because for some goofy reason I thought the OS would be stored in ROM like the like Linux on the ASUS N10Jc ....what dya know, as usual I was wrong. on May 11, 2009 by Crazywulf  | Read full review

Cons max RAM allowed only 1.5GB
lousy battery
no driver for windows OS at the time I bought it
ultra slow SSD(be very careful of this, they are useless if you wish to convert to Windows OS)
problems with ultra slow Internet
no backdoor for RAM insertion on February 26, 2009 by avito  | Read full review

Cons It would not connect to MSN before updating the software, but Live Update was v...e...r...y slow and kept failing. Installing Skype and an icon to launch it involved editing a scary hidden Linux file. Linux is still not for the faint-hearted! on January 10, 2009 by DoryDoryDory  | Read full review

Cons I am used to using one hand (index finger on the pad, thumb on the button.) This is pretty much impossible on this netbook. But at this price point I am willing to over look that little problem. on January 5, 2009 by gokgokgoker  | Read full review

Cons 512 of RAM & NO Hatch on the back to add more! The whole unit must come apart to add RAM! Linux not for the tech challenged as installing new programs can be very complex requiring registry edits/file swaps etc to accomplish. Poor product Support on January 2, 2009 by John Waldron  | Read full review

Cons Not exactly quiet (Fan on even on idle)
Webcam image a little yellowish in ambient light
BIOS password flaw (automatically turns password in CAPS)
Background noise in audio out on December 27, 2008 by tony0964  | Read full review

Cons KB just feels just ok, touchpad buttons takes some getting use to, Acer support needs work, needs to be taken apart to upgrade RAM, no Bluetooth. on December 20, 2008 by Bowen88  | Read full review
