Re: [ilugd] Any experiences with Acer Aspire One?
I would advise everyone to not buy any Acer notebook. Their build quality sucks. And believe me, you might think that build quality does not matter, but for notebooks it does -- you'll realize it later. The mousepad of my Acer laptop[1] started misbehaving within 2 months of purchase. Today, after 3 years of sparse usage (mostly lying around at home) I find out that the keyboard has started misbehaving too. Don't even get me started on the battery. Even when it was brand new, I never got more than 1h 15m of battery backup. Moral: DON'T buy Acer.

It ships with an integrated Atom 230 (1.6GHz), single DDR2 DIMM (max. 2GB), on board video and sound etc. I have a 2GB RAM config. You can get a decent config. for under 6K if you assemble it yourself. Loaded up Ubuntu 8.04.1 and openSUSE 11.0, all devices worked out of box. Desktop performance was decent - I did not notice any sluggishnes. IMO, for regular desktop usage (openoffice, browsing, email) it is a good fit. -- Arun Khan ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

My concern was about how the computer would cope with multiple applications running simultaneously. What may happen if one started a linux distro and virtual box on it to run another OS? The price in India is Rs 21000 for the linux model which is indeed very attractive.

[ilugd] Any experiences with Acer Aspire One?
Acer has recently introduced in India a sub-notebook pre-loaded with Linux (a fedora-based distribution called Linpus lite). The machine runs on an Intel Atom processor, has 1 gig RAM, 120 GB HDD and an 8.9" screen. I am considering picking up a piece but would be interested if anyone has any experience to share. Or any feedback on Intel Atom processors? The reviews of Intel Atom processors on the internet show very poor processing performance though they do well in terms of power consumption. Any comments?
