EXPERT REVIEW

It's been raining Netbooks in the Techtree Testlabs. With big-time manufacturers like Asus, MSI and HCL already in the race; the others are trying best to play catch up. I recently reviewed the Asus Eee PC 1000H; and now in the lab comes a Netbook from Acer's stable called the Aspire One.

While the initial Netbooks like the Eee PC 4G were cheap & lightweight, they were small on features and not so great when it came to usability (read: cramped keyboard and small screen). The newer versions (for instance, the MSI Wind or the Eee PC 1000H) did manage to improve on these shortcomings but at the same time came with added weight and a high price tag.
And now we have the Aspire One, which seems to have married the best of both.

So does this ultra-portable seem to be worth your attention? Let's find out

This is one of the best laptops available. The prize is damn cheap. This might have been made better with Bluetooth support. But considering the prize range this rocks!!
