Manufacturer's Description
Introducing the Acer Aspire One D150, designed for complete connectivity on-the-go

Following the success of Acer’s Aspire One A series which fast became the world’s most popular netbook, the D series now improves on this winning formula with increased performance from Intel’s Atom N280 processor and a larger 10.1” CrystalBrite widescreen display.

Truly portable computing
 
Acer’s newest compact netbook is built to enhance your mobile lifestyle, weighing only 1.18 kg and boasting up to 7-hour battery life for extended fun and productivity while you're on the move!

With a larger 89% size keyboard and newly redesigned front track pad buttons the D150 makes typing emails and internet browsing pain-free.


Widescreen 10.1” Screen for broader vision and convenient navigation

The new 10.1” WSVGA high-brightness LED backlit display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels offers a sharp display. With CrystalBrite technology it uses an ultra-fine, highly polished coating to achieve superior filtering and enable quicker image building as well as minimising reflection from internal and external light sources.
Integrated on top of the screen is an Acer Crystal Eye webcam which is optimized for poorly lit environments by using a high sensitivity camera. This lets you see your friends and family using instant messaging video chats.

Connectivity wherever you are

Whether at home, in a coffee shop or on the road, stay informed and in touch via wired, wireless or 3G connectivity options.  The D150 features an Ethernet and three USB ports as standard as well as Wifi  802.11b/g with Acer Signal Up technology which enhances wireless signal by optimising the location of the antenna on the netbook allowing you to stay connected further from the Wifi base station and with stronger reception.
 
Selected models feature Bluetooth 2.0 allowing you to connect to a whole host of Bluetooth enabled devices. There is also the option of 3G connectivity so that you can access the internet from wherever your mobile connection allows.


Performance

Using Intel’s Atom N280 (1.66 GHz) processor made from the world's smallest transistors, the new Aspire One is more than capable in everyday tasks delivering speedy performance while maintaining long battery life.

With a large capacity 160 GB hard drive you can store hours of music and videos and whit the multi-in-1 card reader you can share photos, films and files with ease.

Stylish design
 
Available in four high-gloss colour options including white, blue, red and black, the slim and streamlined design immediately catches the eye and is complimented by the aerodynamically shaped metallic hinge and a brushed-metal effect palm rest.

Energy Efficient use

The 10” Aspire One meets Energy Star 4.0 requirements and can be equipped with a 6-cell Li-ion battery pack. With incredibly low idle power consumption, the 10” Aspire One offers up to 7 hours battery life.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant small machine!
This little netbook is the answer to my every need-good to carry for those with arthritic shoulders and very efficient in word processing, spreadsheets on Excel, emails and web searches. It was easy to start and set up, at 55 I am personally not computer savvy; I simply took it out of the box, followed the simple instructions and away Gladys (I name everything) and I went! I would highly recommend this product.

Netbook is great, though not what I expected
I purchased this netbook after looking through a lot of reviews of the Aspire 1 D. In all reviews, the new battery life (6 cell battery) and the bluetooth connectivity were mentioned and lauded. In fact, the additional battery life mentioned is one of the primary reasons I bought the Aspire over any other netbook.

However, the Aspire sold here has the OLD battery (3 cell battery). While this is mentioned in the technical specs, I never reviewed these as I felt after the reviews I'd read that I knew the specs. Also, the bluetooth connectivity does not come as standard, though I'm not so bothered by that.

All in all, I'm happy with the Aspire One, in fact it's easy to buy a larger battery (at extra expense). However, just not happy with the fact that Amazon are selling one that is not on a par with the 'standard' one as mentioned in all the Aspire 1 D reviews on the web.

Brilliant netbook
Just purchased the new acer D150 its brilliant. Great design compact and all you would need from a netbook.Having used it for a week now thinking of mothballing my laptop.Highly recommended.
