Sorry guys. You know as well as I do that I usually shun official reviews in favour of your thoughts but this review deserves a standing ovation. In the UK, Acer has always had a hard time getting recommended but in this June review from PC Pro, not only does it get 5 stars (out [...]

This is the last video I made of the Aspire One before having to hand it back (sob).
This time I have a look at its word processing abilities, find out (for the Linux / OpenSource illiterate amongst us) whether it’s compatible with Word and also have a check to make sure the webcam isn’t going to give me problems

You want to chat? Can’t think of an easier (and smaller) way of doing it than with the Aspire One.
This is me taking you through the various elements of the interface and setting up a Messenger account and Skype account.
Phew!

It’s the first thing that came to mind when I first saw the Aspire One.
It’s a pretty smooth process, and all the necessary controls and features are there.
Sweet!
The Acer Aspire One – up and running.

Obviously I don’t know how to count.
CNET says “it takes approximately 17 seconds to boot the operating system — 3 seconds quicker than an Eee PC 901 — and about 10 seconds to launch common apps like OpenOffice or Firefox”.
Still, whoever’s counting, it’s pretty quick and mighty slick.

The Aspire One continues to make the rounds and the web is starting to fill up with reports and articles about this great little thing (I want one).
Here’s an amazing article by Pierre Lecourt over on Blogeee.net with perhaps the most fantastic detail to date. It’s in French so you might need Google Translate but even without, the sheer number of pictures means it’s well worth a visit.

It’s been waaay too hectic here for me to keep track of everything.
First we had the Gemstone Blue, then the Predator came out of nowhere and now the Aspire One.
I’m going to try and get my hands on an Aspire One to make my own video but this one is great to be going on with.
Breaking news?

This is the first I’ve heard of this story. I wonder how long it’ll take to reach my desk… Hopefully not too long. http://eeepc.net/acer-going-to-launch-one-more-competitor-of-eee/
