Acer Aspire One Review
June 14th, 2008In case you needed more Aspire One info for your gadget gossip fix, Laptop Mag got to spend some quality time with a pre-production model and wrote up the most revealing review to date of the Mini-Note (at least in English - no offense blogeee:)). Overall Laptop Mag ruled it as a “Good Value” and were excited at its $379 and $399 price points.
Details of interest:
- The SD card reader on the left is for expanding system storage automagically. Stick an SD card in and your root drive will show as that much bigger. You won’t be able to copy large files that would need to span across the built-in storage and the card though. Presumably this is done via software (eg, the OS) and not hardware.
- The speakers (or speaker it seems like to me) is located under the motherboard in the center of the machine. They are pretty quiet and real treble blasters. Not a big deal, but still good to know.
- The web cam is designed for low light situations so it works surprising well (note it’s still a .3MP (300K) though)
They’re going to do some more testing in the coming days which will be interesting to see. We should find out battery life and operating temperatures along with the results of their typing test again. I wonder if it will beat out the MSI Wind?
