The Acer ONE Thread
- Thread starter tripitaka
- Start date
Had my Aspire one since Friday and already it's faulty; got a one pixel thick horizontal line running across the screen. Will contact Acer tomorrow, but I've been reading quite a few horror stories about people contacting Acer about similar issues and then being told to pay for repairs because the warranty doesn't cover "cracked screens". Has me a bit concerned, but I'll see what they say.
If it developed a fault that quickly then you can deal with the retailer rather than going to Acer.

I thought I had got a bargain with the £150 supermarket deal 
I'm torn between the very cheap 8GB SSD/512MB ram or the 120GB HD/1GB RAM for £40 more... what's the battery life difference?
I would probably buy another battery because one of the main reasons I'm buying this is to keep me entertained on flights.

A 6600MAh battery will last 3 times as long as a 2200MAh, maybe even longer as there is less current draw from each cell.
6600Mah would have to be 9 cell tho, not 6 cell, as the 18650 cells they use are 2200Mah each.
I've bought a 9 cell battery from the auction site, will see how that works out. Getting ~2 hrs on the 3 cell at the mo.
I've also found a nice program to control the fan on the Acer One

A bit of advice please:
In the misses new Acer One, it says in system that there is 1.48GB RAM.... yet we purchased it assuming there was only 1GB.... does this mean we got lucky with the extra .5GB or is this just a system error/it is getting that number from some other source?
Oh and to add its a quality little bit of kit, didnt realise how good they would be tbh - really impressed.

Time for some thread revival!
I've just installed the Ubuntu Netbook Edition (10.04) on my old A110, and it runs very nicely. Seems to work fine with all the hardware, and really it seems much happier with this than it ever did with XP.
