Best Buy for Portability

Hi,nIts a very good purchase for n- those who are frequent travelers, n- those who don't need a large screen to do their jobs like documenting, communicating & internet based work style.n- those who hate large screens and heavy laptopsn- plus those who are awaken now from ipad era and now need a small device which could actually function like a full computer.nni was initially considering an ASUS 10' laptop on flipkart itself (Asus Eee PC 1015CX-BLK011W Netbook Intel Atom/1GB/320GB/Linux) but then i re-searched on flipkart and found this more useful, despite the fact that ASUS was committing higher battery backup. and i believe i made a right choice. better RAM, better connectivity options etc.nnits cool sleek and just awesome.nnI was habitual of working on full size keyboards so it was slightly difficult to start working on it but after 4-5 hrs of continuous work i am becoming habitual of it now.nnThe only problem i faced was with bluetooth and below is how you can overcome that problem:nnIt comes with linux installed but i re-installed windows 7 ultimate on my system and wasn't able to figure out how bluetooth will work. it may say no bluetooth device found.nnAns = However, n1. just install this driver from the given driver CD (HON HAI Bluetooth BT 4.0 Atheros BU22) and n2. then install this driver (Dritek Launch Manager (Acer) and,n3. then restart system and press Fn+F3 (wireless key). it will open a popup window which will ask you to Turn ON bluetooth. Just turn it on and you are on its way.nnTHE ONLY SUGGESTION, i may want to give acer is if they are building computers without dvd/cd drive then instead of drivers DVD/CD, better to give locked Flashed Drive of Drivers. I have had to ask someone else in my company to access DVD and copy the drivers on flash drive to install it on my computer. nnOverall a great purchase and i am very excited with it. Flipkart's delivery was as usual great and beyond doubts.nCheers!n-nGaurav

Value for money, but not flawless

If you don't use heavy softwares or if you aren't a gamer or if you don't like huge bulky notebooks, go for this one. It's light, compact and fully fits in the 'netbook' category. The battery life is around 5-6 hours. Windows 7 works perfectly fine, though I insist you install Ubuntu if you are interested in simply browsing the net, reading PDFs and music/movies. nAlthough the biggest drawback is that usually the screen flickers a lot if there is some heavy process going on, like installing a software. Full HD videos don't play properly. But again, this isn't what a netbook is meant for.nI have been warned that this range lacks physical quality, don't live for more than 1-2 years.nAnother drawback is that the driver DVD does not have the drivers for the webcam, which means you'll have to go online and download them. Plus it also has a lot of drivers that you don't need, because they produce a single dvd for the whole series (aspire one).nVerdict: An amazing product. One of the best netbooks I've ever come across. It takes care of all your basic needs but not more then that. Don't expect much. Don't buy this netbook just because you don't have enough money to buy a notebook..

Overall positive about this laptop

Anyone looking for a light, cheap but usable netbook with good battery life will not be disappointed. Works well under Debian (wheezy) GNU/Linux.nnThe laptop also works well with Meego including 3D graphics acceleration. Too bad that Meego does not support LVM out of its repositories!nnCONS:nn1. The graphics card GMA 3600 is not supported for 3D acceleration under Linux (except Meego) as of 20-07-2012. Thus the simplestnoption is to run under "fbdev". This has other implications. (Update: This was fixed around March 2013 so (a)-(b) below are also fixed)n a. No fancy-shmancy gnome 3 expose effects.n b. Can't use xrandr to enable VGA external display.n c. Brightness control needs to be done using "stepci".nnUpdate: Since about March 2013 (when Debian Wheezy was released) this laptop is working perfectly with Debian Wheezy.n2. The pre-installed Linpus does not do anything at all. It has to be deleted and some working GNU/Linux (such as Debian or Meego) has to be installed. Acer should not install such pointless, non-working software on a machine for sale!

BEst BuY from FLipKART

To begin with, thanks to flipkart for prompt delivery within 24 hrs (in chennai). I am so pleased with the order processing and follow up on my query regarding the warranty processing. Ahh... Acer doesn't disappoints in netbook category and so the aspire one series . The product stands tall for its excellent power backup(more than six hours ) and the New N2600 processor gives an edge over other competitors with boost from 2GB RAM and 1MB cache memory...nnIt comes with Linpus Linux (without GUI )preinstalled. so,dont be scared if ur netbook starts and comes to still at command prompt after running some initial setup. I installed win 7 ultimate from USB drive( max time 13 mins ) and the processor responds mutually to the OS. The resource CD which comes with the bundle comes handy while installing the remaining drivers(such as lan,card reader) in win7 although the operating system has its own drivers for audio,video etc.One can also store your beloved movies and pictures as the hard drive boasts 320GB space.nnThe netbook serves its purpose when it comes to surfing and similar lots.The camera is decent for video chatting.Use the default windows media player for HD videos as latest VLC(2.0.1) produced grainy output.The battery adapter is like a compact mobile charger. To say it in overall, its worth the money saving the extra 3k+ bucks for windows versions. I recommend this product personally if u want a good looking,better performing netbook for your daily use.nnPROSn====nstylish unique design,display,battery performance , Keyboard, Smoothy Touch interface , strong WIFI, RAM and procesor, mass storage( in netbook category), USB (3) , HDMI portsnnCONSn=====nNothing when a netbook's purpose is considered.n nspeakers( we cant expect much from a netbook,, Plug in your headset and u r good to go)nndirectx 8.0 version is sufficient for some low end games nnRegards,nKarthik
