Got this netbook from Amazon for a great deal @ 265. Upgrade the Memory to 2G and am very happy with it. However, there are couple of items I do not like about this netbook.
#1) The Trackpad is hard to work with sometimes. It zoom in or zoom out by itself.
#2) I hate the hibernation setting. Turn it off!
#3) The recovery setup could eat up half of your HD.
#4) No hard copy user guide.
The Inspiron Mini 10 has best in class industrial design with integrated battery design in an adorable drift design. The combination of processor and battery technology delivers long battery life to keep the computer running from dawn to dusk. The netbook also has options that could keep you entertained with smooth watching of high definition video on a high definition screen and free digital TV.
My wife and I have been looking for a light netbook with a fashion design for a while, and finally located this one. We got her about three days ago and started to love her. The overall design is eye-catching. We can easily fit her in my wife’s bag. The battery can last at least 6-7 hours when we are doing word processing or browsing. If we are just reading a book, the battery icon says it can go more than 10 hours. Typing is comfortable, both with my large hands and my wife’s small hands. The screen is bright with large viewing angle. The CPU speed is ok. Sometimes we had to wait a couple of seconds after starting the browser before being able to type the address. This is not a big deal to us. I have uninstalled most of the blowware, and installed office 2003 and a bunch of softwares that we normally use. 160 GB hard disk is enough. 1 GB memory is good for our use case, mainly word processing and browsing internet.

I was pleasantly surprised about the Android part of the computer after reading various reviews. I have had no glitches with it to date, after using it for over a week now anyway. It boots up fast, gets online fast and can get e-mail fast.
There is a website, like another reviewer wrote, that is dedicated to the Android netbook market. They have almost 90 Apps now, and all are FREE as of now. The website is [...]. I have downloaded several already. The language app works much better than I expected, it gives fairly accurate translations. There are a couple I downloaded that did not work right, however, but all the other did. The secret to getting the apps is to use the built in browser, NOT firefox to download the apps. You have to press the right mouse button (right side of the acer single button) to be able to select “go” to type in the address.
The XP part works as expected, better than any other windows I have tried. I have not tried 7 yet though.
I love the compact Acer, I do not like large laptops after owning 2 of these now (dropped the first on a tiled cement floor). It is very light with extremely long battery life.
I would suggest an external dvd drive for loading certain programs, such as your printer software among others. Other than that it is a great little computer.
Can’t say enough good things about this neat little computer. Small, stylish, light, functional, easy to use and easy to upgrade. Great battery capacity. Well engineered! This one had Win XP installed and it is still heads above the newer versions of Windows (We all know that Vista stinks and, yes, I have tried Win 7). Why Microsoft can’t just leave well enough alone is totally beyond me.
The Acer Aspire One 532h is a lovely little netbook, for the price it is fantastic but like all things it isn’t perfect. Let’s begin shall we?
The netbook is a great simplistic design, very lightweight and compact, perfect for traveling or school. It has an SD card slot for your Digital Camera, etc. 3 USB 2.0 ports, a VGA-out port (great if you wanna use the netbook with a projector), a Headphone and Microphone port, and a kensington lock slot (great if you wanna physically lock up your computer).
I am very satisfied with my W Series netbook. I was aware of the criticisms posted by some other reviewers. The netbook works fine for me. The profile photo on Amazon clearly shows the battery unlike some other sites. It doesn’t bother me at all. It tilts the netbook at a nice angle, and it keeps the netbook cooler. The fan is not that loud. The display is great! The high resolution images are superb. If you are far-sighted, you might want something else. I like the clarity of the images. The right shift key is small, but I have adjusted. The keyboard feels nice and I can type fairly rapidly. I bought it for reading email, surfing the web, and working on basic Office documents. It does all of these things well. There are cheaper products, but I like the Sony quality and reliability. I recommend this netbook.
I hardly have any complaints about this netbook!
I’ll start off first with my opinions on what could be better.
1. The keyboard is kinda cramped, especially if you do a lot of typing. But that’s an inherent disadvantage to netbooks in general, so it really should be dismissed.
2. When typing, sometimes my palm messes with the touchpad. Not a big problem, especially since a key combo can turn the pad off.
