It features a 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. This 1.66 GHz Atom N280 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
The Acer Aspire One AOD250 has been designed to be even more streamlined than its predecessors--whittling down the depth to just one inch thin and shaving the weight down to just under 2.8 pounds. The sleek aerodynamic design includes elegant touches such as the color-rich chassis along with the metallic hinge with a colored accent. It also uses a clever Multi-Gesture Touchpad that allows you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as intuitive navigation of websites such as Google Earth. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows you to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. Finally, it features a soft-touch palm rest to increase typing comfort.

 Does what it needs to do for the price! August 29, 2010
Mike (Toms River, NJ)
My wife and I were going away and we decided our regular, full size laptop was going to be too cumbersome to bring with us. We picked up the Acer Aspire One D250 after testing several netbooks. This was purchased last October, and almost a year later, the unit has performed well. The unit we purchased still had Windows XP installed new, which was a blessing. At the time, Vista was a disaster and I was glad that Microsoft made an exception for ultra low cost PCs to still come pre-installed with XP. We purchased it from a major retailer that had it bundled with the DVD drive/mouse/case and an SD card for under $300, which made it a slam dunk to buy.
It came pre-loaded with a lot of software running, including Norton Internet Security. Out of the box, too much pre-loaded software caused the unit to run terribly slow on 1GB of memory. After removing much of it, the unit runs Office and surfs the web with ease! It can handle mostly all websites with ease, but some software will bog it down. I use it for mostly playing simple games, surfing, and Office, and with that I am very satisfied, because that's what I bought it for. If your looking to edit photos and video, you will be sorely dissapointed
The on board speakers are sub par, and the sound card is also not good. If you plan to listen to a lot of music, stay away from this netbook. I watch YouTube clips sometimes which didn't affect me as much, but the actual music output is very sub par. The on board sound did cause my review to lose a star.
The USB ports are well placed, as is the Ethernet port and the multi-card reader. The unit is great at copying and storing data. The 160GB hard drive is perfect for holding/displaying documents, some music, and lower-resolution photos. Video playback is iffy on this unit, and HD resolution playback was very choppy, as can be expected with this processor.
Battery life has been impressive. I have used the unit 4-5 hours at a time without any major complaint. The bottom of the unit gets downright hot after awhile, even if it is idle.
Overall, I will buy another Acer if I want to get another netbook. Even though the iPad will be tempting, for the price, Acer has proved why they are a major player in netbooks.

We bought ours Acer on the 3rd Dec 2009 and it went bad in july2010.The motherboard went bad.Thats gives it a lifespan of 7months.It's definitely a waste of good money and acer should be ashamed of themselves for ripping off good people.So don't let the looks fool you, right now we are using our old Dell and it's been around for a few years now.Don't buy Acer.

 kaput after 6 weeks June 30, 2010
Kevin
My Acer AOD250-1584 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook stopped working after six weeks. Problem: netbook would not turn on, or would turn on only with white screen. I have had technician check it. He was able to turn it on, but the netbook cannot function when battery charges over 50% or when adapter is disconnected. It's therefore useless for travel, which is why one buys a netbook in the first place. Apparently this is an ongoing problem with Acer. I'm waiting to see how CompUSA handles my complaint
My "Little Blue" You're gonna love it. June 13, 2010

This is exactly what I was looking for.... Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, big storage, very portable, and snappy.... I added the extra 1G of Ram, got a good case to carry it with and now it goes everywhere with me. Who needs an ipad when you have one of these babies!!!
