Acer Aspire One D250 (Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, XP Home)
Just a few months ago, Acer launched the first 10-inch version of the Aspire One Netbooks, the AOD150. In February it cost $350, and we called it very good, but it had its limitations: a terrible touch pad, somewhat bulky size because of a six-cell battery, and a keyboard that was positively cramped compared with the competition.
The AOD250 weighs less and is thinner than the AOD150 because it has a three-cell battery now, not a six. The specifications on processor, hard drive, and RAM are identical, but the new Aspire One’s more compact design makes it feel a bit less like a budget product.
Strengths: Rock-bottom price; slimmer size; improved touch pad buttons.
Weaknesses: Weak speakers; battery life mediocre; small keyboard.
Summary: For the price, it’s hard to find fault with Acer’s even cheaper version of the 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One, as long as you’re not expecting top-of-the-line features.
