![]() The tech support number is impossible to find (it's 80), but we were eventually able to locate basic driver downloads on Acer's site. The Aspire One includes an industry-standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty, but the company has a confusing maze of overlapping support Web sites. The trade-off, of course, is the system's weight and size (as the battery is heavy and sticks out from the back). ![]() Note that our test unit had a slightly beefed-up battery (5800mAH versus 4400mAH) compared to what it will ship with, and we'll retest with the official six-cell battery when we get our hands on one, but we expect you'll still get 5-plus hours. The system ran for an impressive 6 hours and 17 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. We'll soon be seeing the first laptops with a faster version of the Intel Atom, the N280, which may expose some major fault lines in Netbook performance (or not, as small clock-speed bumps are often inconsequential). As expected, the Aspire One AOD150 performed on par with more expensive recent Netbooks, such as the HP Mini 2140 (and slightly faster than Sony's P-series Lifestyle PC, which is saddled with Windows Vista). On our Wi-Fi tests, it pushed data along at a rate of 20.5 Mbps at 15 feet away from our access point, and 17.0. ![]() With Intel's 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU, specifically designed for low-power Netbooks, you get enough computing power for basic tasks, such as Web surfing, working on documents, and some basic multimedia playback. The Acer Aspire Ones 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi radio demonstrated some impressive power.
