Acer Aspire AO533-13531 10.1-Inch Netbook (Glossy Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been thinking about buying a 10" netbook for quite a while and finally did it! I've just had it a few days, but already I feel that it is just what I wanted for traveling. It is so small, but still very usable, and I love the red color! It has only 1 GB memory and 250 GB hard drive. That's not a lot of memory, but for my purposes I think it will be just fine. It was a great buy at Amazon!

Aspire One AO533: Go Anywhere Mobility
Offering a sleek new design and enhanced performance, the Aspire One AO533 netbook (model AO533-13531) delivers long battery life and ample mobile computing features at an outstanding value. Browse the Web, check e-mail, share photos, keep up with social networks, listen to music and enjoy a wide variety of entertainment on the 10.1-inch LED-backlit display.

A great choice for students as well as business travelers who like to travel light, Acer makes it easy to stay productive while on the go with the larger keyboard (93 percent standard size). You'll be able to easily video chat wherever you roam thanks to the Crystal Eye webcam integrated into the LCD's bezel, delivering smooth video streaming and high quality images even in low-light situations. The wide multi-gesture touchpad with anti-slip microbead texture provides precise control and mouseless, fingertip convenience, as well as support for multi-gesture controls such as pinch, flick, and swirl for an intuitive navigation to view web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more.

Weighing less than 3 pounds and measuring about 1 inch thin, this AO533 has a black glossy cover (also available in red) that's complemented by a striking chrome rim. In addition, the battery fits flush in the chassis and charging on the go is even more convenient now with the slim two-pin 40W Acer MiniGo AC adapter, which weighs 34-percent lighter than typical adapters.

This Aspire One comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system.
