Acer Aspire One AOA110-1137 8.9-Inch Black Netbook Review
November 2nd, 2009
Acer Aspire One AOA110-1137 8.9-Inch Onyx Black Netbook Review from William T Anderson. Good value, great size, As other reviews have said, the initial setup process is SLOW. Be patient, and put the laptop aside until it is done. Once the install was done, then the ubiquitous Windows Updates (28 in all for me), take their pound of flesh, er, time. Once it finally is ready for you, it boots and runs reasonably well. After a few days of use, I removed the McAfee antivirus 60 day trial that was included with the PC and installed Avast! free antivirus instead. Response is noticeably quicker with this lightweight antivirus compared to the bloated McAfee.
Overall, the laptop is great value and very convenient size. Performance is about what you would expect with such a slow processor, but it’s quite useful for web browsing (I use Firefox) and lightweight word processing. It wouldn’t suit many people as their only PC, but for those trips when you want to pack lightly, or a day on the road or at a remote office, it’s great. The 16 Gbytes of memory in the hard-drive-free version doesn’t sound like much, but the installed applications take much less than half of this, so it’s pretty reasonable unless you want to load a huge Itunes library or lots of videos.
For it’s intended application as a super-portable web browser, it’s a perfect fit.
