i bought my son the original aspire 8.5″ screen, and got my wife the newer 10″ aspire.
they hit the right value/price mark/ utility target for me. the new nine hr battery on the newer aspire seems to on forever when you put it to sleep until needed. love ‘em.

Hi All: I have an Aspire One with the 8 GB solid state hard drive plus a 8GB SD card in the left hand slot, running Windows XP. Machine overall is great, but I’m having a problem with accessing the 8 GB SD card in the left hand SD slot. I thought that the second SD card would be managed to appear as part of the internal 8 GB C:drive – essentially making a virtual 16 GB C: drive. That is not happening. But if I try to write to that drive directly, I get a “drive is write protected” message (lock is not on the SD card). So I effectively cannot access the card in the left hand SD slot.

Any thoughts on this? So far ACER support has been mo help. And all of the reviews I read of systems with this drive configuration are running the Linspire OS. does it work differently under XP?

I bought my Aspire 1 the first week it arrived in Canada last summer. I have 2 other laptops and no longer own a desktop.
I really love the portability. It weighs less than 1/3 of my second-lightest laptop and takes a lot less space. A tiny nylon case that fits UNDER my cycling jacket vs. a hefty backpack. Highly recommend anyone get a tiny optical mouse – I got it almost right away as touchpads do not respond well to my fingers.
I touch-type and found the horrible Euro keyboard they sent to Canada (the French eh?)to be very frustrating at first since the left-shift key is the size of an alpha-numeric key to allow an even smaller “special foreign language key” to squeeze in beside it. Found I hit this key more often than the shift key! Oddly, the right-shift key is relatively huge, being about 3 times the size of an alpha-numeric key.
Finally, I just removed the key-cap from the offending key and can type normally again. The only other complaint is regarding the Linpus distro used. I was a Unix system administrator a few years back and I can guarantee this is NOT verey much like Unix! For one thing, even after getting full access to the command line and successfully installing and updating a few programs, I found there is NO MAKE utility!!!!
That means I still can’t print to my home network printer, since I need to make the necessary driver.
I did finally find a stand alone MAKE utility, but have not tried it as it may not be compatible with Linpus.
NEXT, I will be installing Ubuntu or maybe Open BSD to try to get some real usability from the OS.
Otherwise I like everything about this little beast and agree with most of what others have said. Just installed another 16 GB (replacing the 8 GB I put in when I bought it) and have over 21 GB of formatted SSD space. This has got to be the most bang for buck and weight of any internet-capable device. Beats my cellphone and PDA’s all to heck with the ability to touch-type – on, and on and on…

To get to the webcam controls, open My Computer > C: (drive) > double-click on the folder for the webcam. In there is the executable, which you double-click on to activate. Create a shortcut of the executable on the desktop for convenience.
