I have a 11.6 inches screen Aspire One, it has a bluetooth switch on the left of the front of the netbook. But when I tried to switch it on, the bluetooth sign would pop up with an “x” on the bluetooth sign. Can anyone tell me how I can use bluetooth with this netbook? Thanks!

Thanks for the information JKSKRN. I was too planning to upgrade to Windows 7 and it is nice to hear that you did not have to install anything to get the machine working.

Windows 7 is working like Ubuntu: no need to install anything yourself!

Finally! my new hd is on… Word of advice, DO NOT UPGRADE the hard drive unless you know what you are doing… I know a good amount about computers and still took me about good 12 hours to get this running without using an external dvd player. By the way, it has 6 gb of Acer hd partition for recovery on the stock HD, and IT IS USELESS… I just ended up installiing Windows 7 on this, and works pretty good. the lowest vista windex score that I got is the Graphic score which is 2.1. Other than that, it looks fine. I didn’t have to install any drivers from Acer website after installing Windows 7. The battery life only went down about 10% due to the faster HD which is pretty sweet, so I’m getting about 6 hrs still right now. My next upgrade is internal bluetooth. (Who knows how long this is going to take :( ) I will let you guys know about more later. Thanks

Just letting you guys know that i just installed DDR2 2GB OCZ PC6400 and it works like a charm. This is Def. faster than when I had 1GB of Samsung PC 5300 stick. I also bought a 320GB 7320rpm HD just now, and I’ll let u guys know if there’s nay problem or decrease in battery life (I’m pretty sure it will decrease like 20%).

@ JKSKRN: Chances are that it should work. Transcend worked and that one should also work

Hey I just bought one from buy.com, and I love it. (And mine didnt come with BT either…) Here’s a question that “NO ONE” was able to answer… Does it supprt DDR2 PC6400 (800 bus speed one) rams? I know the CPU’s bus speed is only 533 but I would like to have a 2GB of faster ram if that’s possible. I just don’t want to go thru returning and stuff if it doesn’t supprt. ;p Thanks in advance!

@ Jack: Some come with built-in BT and some don’t.

Lame. The model I purchaseed from Newegg does not have BT. Check the fine print.

I installed Ubuntu remix 9.04 and it was a PAIN to get XP reinstalled because I didnt dualboot. Took me 2 days to get XP back up. You’ll need an external CD/DVD drive to create those recovery disk’s…gah! Battery life on low usage is roughly 2-2.5h mine came with 3 cell. Ram can be upgraded to 2Gig with ease and the Wifi card as well. Overall decent netbook.

I’ve been looking for a netbook for on the go stuff. I’m strongly leaning towards this Acer but I was wondering how would it fair w/ Linux (Ubuntu flavor) on it?

@ Sumedh: This netbook is fine for everything unless you wish to play modern day games on it.

@ Ramesh: As mentioned in the review, it is 6 hours-plus

michael, just press the bluetooth on the upper left side corner. then it will try to detect bT from any unit you have nearby. try opening your celfone. then register your celfone with your acer. It will match. just keep trying. im no technie but I was able to make it function in 15 mins.

mine has the bluetooth and connects well when turned on. my problem is it shows me files are being transferred but I cant find the transferred file ? the salesguy mentioned I need to buy an adapter for that, is that true?

Are you sure, your modell actually got BT?
You see, even though no review, and not even Acer them selves, metion this fact, the Bluetooth is not given, but depends on your specific modell.
If you do have Bluetooth on you aspire one, then it should be quiet obviously where to turn it on, as there should be a ‘large’ button in the uper left corner which will light up when pressed / activated.

This is a great review. I just wish you could tell me how to activate the Bluetooth as I can’t figure out how to do that, and I can’t find any information on how, anywhere online or in the very minimal instruction’book’ that is following the netbook.
Beside of that annoying fact (can’t turn on bluetooth) I’m pretty impressed of the product so far.
If anyone can help solving the bluetooth problem, I would be happy indeed.

This is a nice review about the mini-laptop. But what about if you’re using Ableton Live? Is the processor be ok if it use 1.5 Ghz?
I mean it’s like 1.66Ghz and if you’re using example MSN too in the background? What kind of effect will it be?
Ofcourse 1st thoughts are slow and waiting. But what kind of experience do people here?
