 Disappointed September 1, 2010
Mark L. Schlappi
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
It seemed to be a very nice laptop except I was not able to load my Garmin GPS software or Microsoft Office 2003. Acer was no help and Garmin could not determine the problem(after spending about 2 hours with me), so I returned it and purchased a Toshiba R700 that seems even nicer and I was able to load all of my software with no problem.
 Best Subnotebook in its class August 5, 2010
A Navas (Riverside, CA USA)

This review pertains only to the Core i3-330UM model.
Overall:
This notebook is perfect in every way for what I need: HDMI port for HDTVs, lightweight, good keyboard, decent trackpad, reasonably snappy processor (better than any Atom and I've read that it is better than Core 2 duo CULV processors in previous generation subnotebooks), and it fits into my backpack without adding too much weight. 11.6" is really the sweetspot of ultraportable notebook sizes.
Price, Battery Life:
The price is reasonable for what you get, but it does lack Bluetooth unless you get the i5 model, for $100 more (for which you also get 4GB ram and a 500GB Hard drive). Another bad thing is that it is almost twice as expensive as an Atom based netbook; its price can fetch a decent full-sized notebook. However, it outperforms those in every way and still maintains good battery life (5.5 hours at 50% brightness, with Firefox playing Pandora radio, outlook open, two pdfs open and an ipod charging). It is the perfect office mate when grading papers and I need a computer nearby to enter grades.
Keyboard and Trackpad:
The keyboard is really nice, even if the keys are flat. I was able to adjust to it because of its size. Many people complain about the trackpad, and I can see where they are coming from somewhat. However, I really think it is just too different from what they are used to. It feels a bit small, scratchy and sensitive, and the buttons are a bit too tough to click, but I was able to adjust to it within a few hours of consistent use. I have no problems with it now, and the multitouch functions work well, but it is up to the buyer if they like it or not.
Build Quality:
Sturdy and solid. The hinges aren't quite built like my 14.1" Lenovo from 2006, but I see the notebook lasting a long time. I am very pleased with the build of this notebook.
Conclusion:
This is the notebook to get if you desire good battery life, great performance, and most importantly, care about the 11.6" form factor. There are AMD based 11.6" models showing up to compete, but I like the Intel platform better because of battery life and performance, unless you want to talk about Thinkpad subnotebooks (without HDMI ports, sadly, and a $1200 pricetag).
Workhorse July 30, 2010

This is an amazing little unit. Has done everything I have asked it to do under extreme conditions. Light weight and thin, fits into a carryon in a case with no problem. Screen size allows for multiple tasks better than 10s and 8s that I have used. Runs a little hot. THIS IS THE ONE.
 Powerful and Easy to Carry July 24, 2010
FFDR (Chicago, IL, USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
To me this ACER ASPIRE laptop is the perfect computer for travel. It offers a great compromise between the need to carry it around on one hand and the speed/CPU power on the other. The laptop is only slightly larger and heavier than the 10" netbooks with the Intel Atom processor. In return it offers the new core-i processor which puts it on a different planet in terms of computing power. I have been using it for a couple of days now, and I am generally very pleased with it performance.
What I like:
- Small dimensions and weight make it easy to carry.
- Very powerful given the size.
- Sturdy built, seems solid and durable.
- Responsive keyboard with very large keys.
What I do NOT like:
- The mouse touchpad. It has a rather rough and sticky surface which makes it rather challenging to use. This compounds the problem that the touchpad is quite small. I would have preferred to have the keyboard downsized to generate more space for the mouse.
- The HOME and END keys can only be reached through the FN key. Not a big deal, but I happen to use them quite frequently, and there would obviously been enough space for two extra keys (and a larger tochpad).
I cannot help closing with a bit of a rant: I absolutely HATE WIDESCREENS. I would certainly not have bought this computer if there had been a suitable alternative with a 4:3 ratio screen, even for a considerably higher price. Unless the computer is used exclusively for watching movies, a widescreen of this size has only disadvantages. When browsing the web or editing documents, it makes me feel like standing in a room with a ceiling 4 inches below my height (this last point is not included in my ranking as all competing models would have the same problem).
Great Laptop July 6, 2010

Pros:
Thin, light, screen is bright and has good color, screen's high resolution makes up for its small size, processor is powerful enough for general use, doesn't get too hot, great battery life (6+ hours), great port selection, good keyboard
Cons:
Touch-pad isn't well demarcated from the wrist rest making it too easy to drift into no man's land, the screen's vertical viewing angles could be better
Overall I really like this laptop. It boots quickly and has generally snappy performance. It isn't the fastest at some processor intensive tasks like compressing audio and video, but that's to be expected for a low voltage processor. For general use like web browsing and watching videos it is perfectly adequate. I'll gladly accept some reduced performance given that this laptop doesn't get nearly as hot as other laptops I have used and it has fantastic battery life. I can get over 6 hours with the wifi on and the screen set to half brightness.
The screen looks nice, has a good resolution, and isn't too reflective. The vertical viewing angles, however, aren't the best but they are hardly prohibitive to use. Probably the most annoying thing about this laptop is the touch-pad. It's not terrible; I just wish it was easier to tell by feel when you have left the touch sensitive area. Not a deal breaker, but annoying nonetheless. Fortunately the keyboard is great. It isn't missing any important keys and is comfortable to use. I also really like the large port selection for such a small laptop. I've had larger laptops that had only two USB ports.
The thing I like most about this laptop is its portability. After owning a couple of big and bulky laptops over the years, it's fantastic to carry around this little machine. If you are looking for a solid ultra-portable laptop, you won't be disappointed with this one.
