Pros & Cons

  • good mobile processor, meorycard reader, 3 hours battery, very low power comsumption, worked for seven months
  • very stiff headphone port, unpractical port positioning, tiny mousepad, acer customer service, they break often

    Usability is paramount when it comes to netbooks, and given the updated keyboard found on Acer's Aspire One 751 it's hard not to feel a little hard done by that the company has opted to use the old Aspire One A110 keyboard on the D250. The new machine is not without its charms, but with the similarly specified Eee PC 1000HE boasting 802.11n, a better keyboard and a barn-storming nine-hour maximum battery life, we suspect many will opt for Asus' offering, especially since...

    There's no doubt that the D250 is a step forward compared to the original Aspire One. We were, however, hoping for more of a leap forward from Acer. Yes, the use of Intel's latest N280 CPU and the excellent screen are both plus points, and it's priced with rival offerings, but we're left wondering why Acer didn't furnish it with 802.11n WiFi and, perhaps more importantly, why it didn't take the opportunity to design a slightly bigger keyboard. And with the Read more

    This new version of the Acer Aspire One D250 with Windows 7 and Android is around £280 – or you can find the first Windows XP version for £199. Put kindly, we’d say that Acer's Android-on-a-netbook project is work in progress right now, with so little actually possible on the Google Linux side. If you need to get things done, you’re still going to have to work in Windows. Read more

    I was so excited to get this little computer. It worked for 1 month then it has been sent back to Acer a total of 6 times. I have yet to get it back. The bright screen is nice, the compactness is nice, the USB ports stopped working, after that was fixed, the computer started having black outs. Acer is unbearable to work with, even with warranty. I suggest trying a HP product instead. Read more

    This was a Christmas present for my daughter and unfortunately the first one was faulty but Amazon were fantastic and sent another one straight away. She loves it and it is so compact and neat makes my own laptop look ancient. Would recommend think I was just unlucky with the first one. Read more

    Best price found on Amazon, better than Walmart for a machine with a longer battery life. It has Win XP which I am familiar with, I did not want Win 7 yet. It does everything I need it to do. This was a Christmas gift for my 11 yr old daughter and she really loves it. Read more
