I spent much time looking netbook. One possibility was that I wanted to be able to replace the hard drive, which may be the Aspire One, but not many. I pulled the trigger on Black Friday, when Amazon sold in 1955, which has XP, Bluetooth, 5800 mAh, and the processor N280 (good) for $250. The options on this and other netbooks push prices closer to $400.

The unit is good, but others argue Netbook better keyboards. This model is not bad, but the keys could be larger, but still has a good right shift key, which is crucial. Battery life, if suspended, about 9-10 hours for basic Web browsing, and the gray screen with about 60%, which is clearly visible. Have not been able to get Bluetooth working again, but I tried it once. The benefits are the norm for laptops with the Atom processor. For a video heavy user, I suggest you get one with a chip or similar ions.

Highly recommended for web and email use and anyone that needs to access the drive bay. New models coming out at CES, so the AO250 design will probably be phased out. If you're going to get an Aspire One, get this model.

Bought this netbook. The price is very cheap so I jumped on it. First, this unit is beautiful. The blue finish is really great. The facade, with black interior is nice blue.

Pros:
-9-Cell Battery. Measured over 7 hours of use when having constant internet gaming(Runescape), using a bluetooth mouse and brightest brightness on screen.
-Super Bright screen. I was slightly worried about screen being dim, but it is extremely bright, very pleased.
-Windows XP - Proven OS, and no extra money needed to upgrade to 7 Home or whatever.
-Great wireless, better reception that my large laptop.
-Once bloatware removed, very quick. Can do some basic multitasking with ease.

Cons:
-No back up CD's. Must get external drive to burn copy of OS to CD and drivers. Minor annoyance. Most people get external drive anyways.
-Wish it was free?

Great netbook, very happy with it.

My wife bought this netbook too big for me as a gift to 4 am. Black Friday. We received a "sell" e-mail from Amazon in the middle of the night and the price has been reduced in this exact model / color that was well below the current price. This was done with the High Representative 9. battery and I had read that when the computer is first charge should be fully discharged and recharged at least 3 times to get the maximum cooling of the battery in it. The first time I charged this great little computer I got over 10 hours out of the battery before it reached 3% and this was running it mostly on web sites and doing some external DVD burning with it plus removing a lot of bloatware and installing a lot of new software.

The Netbook Acer 1955 is just what I wanted. I just had a problem that was easily solved. The mouse pad has stopped working on the third day of use. I had to reinstall the drivers. Other then that I recommend to everyone. Good product good deal.
