The Acer Aspire One Notebook, which comes in several models, is an ultra compact notebook computer that will appeal to people on a budget. If you want a computer that's easy to carry around and still gives you all the basic functions of a typical sized laptop, this one might interest you. There are many features of the Acer Aspire One Notebook, that you will learn from this review, that should help you decide if it is for you.

If you are just looking for a simple laptop that can get you access to the web, this computer, the Aspire One, is your best bet. If getting e-mails is important to you, the Aspire One comes with an e-mail program capable of accessing six different e-mail accounts while you're online. You can also use a variety of instant messengers, such as Microsoft Messenger and Skype at the same time, so you can talk to more than one person at once on different platforms. It is possible to do conference calls, live chats, even using video, with this notebook computer.

Many people may be on a budget which will prevent them from buying an iPad, but this notebook computer may offer an alternative choice that fits their budget. Looking purely at the dimensions and weight of both computers, the Aspire One and iPad really do have similar features. Seriously speaking, this particular Acer laptop gives you a lot more for the price when comparing it to more expensive models.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced, good quality computer, you may find it in the Aspire One. The downside to this particular notebook would be the duration of the battery is somewhat short. This particular model is equipped with a three cell battery, which is a lot less powerful than those of other Acer models. There are batteries that have the ability to hold a charge up to nine hours, this one maybe only three hours. If you only need to use it for short sessions, or if you can use an AC adapter to plug in the computer while you're using it, this won't be a problem for you.

With a lower priced notebook computer, you don't expect perfection, but the Acer Aspire One does a good job at fulfilling its basic functions, and also has an attractive design. Computers have fans that make noise when they are working, and some users of this computer have complaints about its noise level. The fan actually gets louder the longer you have the machine on, as naturally more cooling is then needed. Sometimes having a problem with noise is dependent on where you are using the computer. It is noisier than some, so it might annoy other people when you are in a place that is quiet like a library. Overall, the Acer Aspire One Notebook is a good value, considering how it performs and the impressive list of features it delivers. There are many people, and you may be one of them, who want a very compact notebook computer, and also a low price, and that is what this notebook is. It's hard to beat the Acer One in either of these departments, though if you're looking for other benefits like a longer battery life or a more powerful processor, you'll have to look at computers in a slightly higher price range.

Although there are plenty of laptop computers available to select from, many are finding that the greatest is by Lenovo. Check with the local laptop or computer shop for more information.
