Editorial Reviews

A great keyboard in an affordable portable makes the Aspire One a must-have for quick and easy mobility.
-PC World, [xrr rating=4.00/5]
The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal.
-CNET, [xrr rating=3/5]
It has the performance potential to surpass the competition and a $319 entry point is just as cheap as the Asus EeePC, but the typing and navigating experience is not on a par with its competitors.
-PC Magazine, [xrr rating=4/5]
For those looking for an even lower cost budget netbook, the Acer Aspire One is a worthy candidate to think about. This computer has solid build quality to handle being tossed around in a backpack or purse, and modest performance to handle common software applications with ease
-Notebook Review, [xrr rating= ]
Acer is the second of the top notebook manufacturers to join the mini-notebook race and it’s clear that it’s going to make an impact.
