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).
Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to Firewire and USB 2.0.
Memory
The 1 GB of installed RAM (512 MB onboard memory and one 512 MB DIMM, 533 MHz) can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM,
DVD/CD Drive
Because of its size, the Aspire One does not come with an integrated optical drive, but optional CD/DVD read/write drives can be connected to the laptop via one of the three USB ports, enabling you to create your music mixes, burn movies to DVD, and more.
Connectivity
This Acer Aspire One notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN (Acer InviLink) that's compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g networks and offers Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency. This notbook provides the following connections:
- 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
- Secure Digital (SD) card reader, also compatible with MultiMedia cards (MMCs)
- Multi-in-one card reader supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO, and XD Picture Cards
- 1 VGA monitor port
- 1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
- RJ-45 port for 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection
- 56K modem port (V.90)
Screen, Video and Audio
The 8.9-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.
This notebook includes an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectSound compatibility, and it includes two stereo speakers.

Customer Reviews
It's All That I Expected
I think we were all aware of the screen size when we bought our Acer One. That shouldn't really come as any surprise.
I value anyone's opinion, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What someone finds negative, another might not.
As to the fan issue, I have NOT noticed any noise, nor have I noticed any excessive heat issues. I've used the Acer at least 7 straight hours, downloading things and playing on the Internet, and I never encountered any overheating or noise.
This is a lightweight, portable computer, just what it's sold to be. If someone is expecting it to be their main computer, then they'll have to learn to live with the smaller screen size. Otherwise, it has the muscle of any other laptop - even has more GB than my Gateway Laptop.
I must admit that it is fun to play with, but I assumed it would be a great travel companion to watch movies, play games and get through a boring flight, and be able to connect to the Internet at the hotel. Even sign in to SW Airlines to get boarding passes in the "A" group.
My Acer is all that I hoped it would be.
Size Matters AGAIN (Darn It ANYWAY!)
3.0 out of 5 stars So close,
See my review of Samsung NC10. I loved this but had real problems seeing type and took a lot of time adjusting font's to compensate. Then the fan noise got to me, the overheating and all the negative things so well spoken to here already. Terrible venting and cheap fan gives you a computer that runs HOT and a computer that needs the fan replace, SOON! Oh, but then you void your warranty when YOU install a quality fan.
No need for me to rehash the beaten to death negatives. The good points are NOT to be ignored either. It's just the difference in usability and comfort to the eyes on this screen verses a 10.2 inch screen has to be seen to be believed! Once you compare the two, you will never go with an 8.9" screen.....EVER! It took me less than 3 minutes to upgrade my RAM to 2 megs for under $30.00 and Samsung does NOT void my warranty.
If you really want a screen that is really very hard to see and a keyboard that's really hard to use with an 8.9" verses a 10 inch that solves so MANY problems, I recommend a different brand than this Acer. This Acer will both steal your heart but will more than likely BREAK it too. Too bad.......
I've Always Wanted a Mini-laptop
This one didn't disappoint. In fact, it has more speed and power than my two-year old desktop. Easy to move around -- even considering other "regular-sized" lightweight laptops. Excellent machine.
