I highly recommend this. Bought it for myself. Model D250-1206 5 weeks ago. I have had a laptop and now have a desktop, but have always wanted the ease and portability of a netbook. This one fits all my needs and is great to carry around,in or outside the home. The only thing I would like is a longer battery life; so we are going to search for one. I think there is one that gives you 6 hours – this one gives you 3; although I haven’t specifically clocked it. If anyone out there knows where I can get the longer-life battery, I’d certainly appreciate the assistance. Lynn

This review is from: Acer AOD250-1025 10. 1-Inch Purple Netbook – Over 3 Hours Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) (Personal Computers)

My wife loves her net book, very thin, light, bright screen and clear. Good wireless and fast with windows 7 light. With 160gb hard drive she can store what ever she wants. Seems to last a long time on a charge. Only thing she wishes it had is integrated bluetooth. These have come a long way, I have an asus and this one compares well with it. Looks well built and has the access to upgrades such as hard drive and ram on the bottom, something acer didn’t have last year, major pain to change or upgrade when a net book has to be torn appart to upgrade or fix.

Okay, netbooks don’t have DVD or CD burners and generally have less memory and RAM than other laptops. That being said, this is an excellent netbook. This comes with Windows 7 Starter which is a huge improvement over Vista and is as good as or better than windows XP. This netbook is easily upgradeable to 2 GB RAM and though I haven’t found any need to upgrade it performance-wise I am going to stick an extra 1GB in it. Acer is a quality brand and is very affordable and the colors of this little netbook make it cooler than the average black ones out there. If you don’t mind the screen size, don’t need/want a DVD or CD drive then this is perfect. Homework, internet browsing and general apps all run well on it.
