Processor
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management.

Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with a 160 GB hard disk drive (5400 RPM), which offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software.

 Acer Aspire One Review November 23, 2008
Well built and works great. Love it. Take it every where. Like the size of the keyboard, very usable.
Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) S November 23, 2008
I have had this computer about a month and love it. I am a teacher who needed a laptop that I could carry back and forth to school and could do my school work on (grades, type tests, make lesson plans, etc.). My Aspire One does it all and more. I loaded Office 2007 and run it with no problems including heave duty math equations. I get over 5 hours of battery use between charges. I love the price.
 my first netbook pc November 23, 2008
Nice shiny white, very portable laptop. It came with WindowsXP and that works fine. Good for anything that doesn't require too much processing power. But the remote tv player (sling) works excellent on this little beauty, even in hd. Everything I installed so far works. I use it for 1 month now. 160 GB hd and it does read my 8GB SD memory card. 3 USB ports.
Obviously the screen is small. Don't stare at it too long or your eyes will start hurting. But it's probably better than using a PDA for too long. The F11 key, to maximize the screen, is the first key I press when I connect to the internet. The speakers are obviously tiny as well.
Battery life is not bad, I think it holds power for at least 3 hours.
I have not compared this with other netbooks, but I think it was a good investment.
Full featured laptop in a small package November 23, 2008
I read all the reviews, researched all the competitors and decided on the Acer Aspire One. The Acer Aspire One is a complete notebook computer in a small package. The computing power, hard drive capacity and features allow me to run any Windows application I need. I teach computer science and do software development and it is great to have s super portable computer with so much power. I was going to purchase the Asus eePC until I had an opportunity to try an actual computer and discovered I did not like the keyboard layout on the Asus. When I got a change to try an Acer I was sold. I can touch type on my Acer with no problems. The keyboard is a little smaller than normal but the key layout is perfect.
There is a variable speed fan so if you are looking for a totaly noise free computer this is not it but the fan is no different than any of my other laptops. The mouse buttons are located on the side of the mouse pad which takes a little getting used to.
Batter life is very good with ~5 hours of operation doing normal tasks while connected with wifi. The wifi connects reliably and with no problems and has very good range. The screen is very easy to read. I have had my Aspire One for about a month now and I am very pleased with it.
Perfect little portable November 23, 2008

I thought I loved my eee PC until I got this. The eee PC 901 has a similar configuration: Atom processor, 8.9 inch screen and 6 cell battery, similar size/weight and 1 GB RAM. But the Acer Aspire One is a lot more comfortable to use. The larger keyboard makes it feel similar to a regular keyboard and the hard drive space is nice because you can have the same files and programs that are on your regular computer. On the eee PC 901, the 16 GB drive is really not enough space if you want music, photos and perhaps a video. If you don't need the storage and have tiny hands, the eee PC 901 would be okay.
Now the criticism. No bluetooth, so you'd have to buy an adapter for that. And it is not easy to upgrade RAM or hard drive. You have to take off the keyboard. RAM is easy to upgrade on the eee PC.
