The OneIt may seem strange now, but we can still
remember the days where having a netbook
made you special in the eyes of geeks
(and non-geeks) everywhere. By special we
mean either they thought you were cool for
having a super small computer or extremely
silly (for trying to type on the miniature
keyboard). That was just barely one year ago,
and thanks to the debut of Intel Atom chips,
we're now currently in a situation where the
netbooks just don't stop coming!
We'll be taking a look at the Acer's Aspire One,
which makes its debut into the rough and
ever-evolving world of the netbook market.
Featuring an 8.9-inch screen packed into
a compact frame, this version of the Aspire One
that we're reviewing uses Linux and has only
8GB of storage space, similar to the earlier
ASUS Eee PC models. Size wise, this unit is
slightly bigger than the Eee PC 901, but still
smaller than the MSI Wind NB U100.
But first, before we take a look at the design,
our usual pictures of its exterior and the specifications:-
Sleek with curvy edges are the words that sum up the looks of the Acer Aspire One. |
The front profile of the Aspire One keeps the same curves you saw from the top down view. Note that the button on the front isn't the power button but the Wi-Fi toggle. |
The left side hosts an analog VGA output, a LAN port, one USB port and a SDHC card slot which acts to expand your onboard storage. |
The right side hosts a 5-in-1 card reader, a Kensington lock slot, two USB ports as well as a headphones and mic jacks. |
