With Ubuntu great Windows7 lame.

I have the Aspire One let me come without an operating system, because I wanted to try anyway before Ubuntu (Linux) and had apart from also read that this system should run much faster than Windows.
Now you have to consider that there are dealing with a netbook and is designed accordingly, of course. For surfing and possibly office work.

Ubuntu is going really well and especially fast, and you will also have to say that it absolutely takes for beginners to get into the whole einzufinden and to bring all functions to work, but to be neglected to talk. Under Windows7 everything takes forever and is really no joy. Is partly due to the slightly weaker processor and the 4GB of memory. I have an additional 4GB bars to put me and already runs all a bit faster, but so that I want to work on Win7 permanent, is also not the case.
I also mean that I also use for more the Aspire than just for surfing, for example also for listening to music, edit photos, but now even the biggest memory hog use, say.

Battery power: truly outstanding - average at least 4 hours and is excellent for a netbook. Is of course to the slightly larger battery, whereby the Lapi is a slight angle, which does not bother me personally.

Keyboard: Well, it happens that sometimes when you press notes, including how to move the mechanism, which is not particularly bother, but also is not desirable.

Touchpad: unsatisfactory. The biggest shortcoming of the netbook. The left and right actuating button are not specially emphasized and so sensitive that you really only with luck the right button gets pressed so how you want it. You get used to it, but I prefer to work with a mouse.

Screen: very good indeed. Matt, not specular. From the side, difficult to see what will be the undoing for curious neighbor, so much suits me.

Volume: minimal, so really quiet and unobtrusive.

Heat development: after prolonged operation, the Aspire is ever quite warm, but still for my sensation nevertheless still below the temperatures of most notebooks in the lower price category, making it a boon for thigh and heat sensitive.

Conclusion: For 300 euros you can not complain and get a great, compact, mobile companion who does what he should. One should not expect Ultrabook, or a little miracle machine, but who is looking for a faithful companion on the go or as a second unit and do not like to spend much money, should not have to think long and access.
