Acer Aspire One AOD255E Netbook (ep.6)

Nice Compact Laptop

This laptop serves its purpose. It’s small, compact, portable and lightweight. It goes everywhere. It is not intended to handle the heavy workload of a regular PC. It is very comfortable on my lap. It feels a little warm on my thighs.
The monitor is small but sufficient. I have no problem reading the screen.
The keyboard is very cramped. I can not type on it. If you expect to sit on the beach and type the next great American novel, look elsewhere. I find it impossible to do anything other than correct and edit documents I’ve created on my PC at home. This notebook, however, accept a full-size keyboard. Just plug one in and you’re good to go. Same for a regular mouse. Use the touchpad (or something like that) is a slow process if you’re not used to it. It has three ports to accept keyboard, mouse and flash drive at the same time.
I have not hooked the laptop to the Internet, and I do not intend to. I bought it only as a word processor free phones. Not connect to the Internet means that I do not have to worry about viruses destroying my work.
I have been on this thing for a couple of hours without the battery going dead. It recharges quickly.
Ladies, you can drag this thing in a large purse, take it to the station and play games or read while waiting for the oil change. It comes pre-filled with several games, including used alone, without cells and hearts.
A disadvantage of this device is that it comes with Windows 7 Starter, which does not allow the user to change the wallpaper on the desktop. You will forever look at the blue screen by default. I suspect that is more than a small annoyance of most PC users. I hate that aspect of it. I guess this was done to save energy or something, but I would be happy to give up some power to be able to customize the screen for me. It has a few screen savers.
Another drawback is the noise. Even at high volume, I can barely hear it. There is a slot for external speakers and headphones, but I have not used. I really have no need for sound.
All-in-all, it’s a decent unit. Use it for its intended purpose (light work) and it should work for you.
