This looks like a nice step up in Netbook performance, now I wanna see some reviews!

MaxPeck · Dec 24, 2010, 01:10 AM

Just picked up my little Acer the week before Black Friday. Once I got it home I upgraded a few things. I found the memory for $28.00 and had the HD already.

Acer Aspire One D255
Atom N450 1.66Ghz CPU
2GB 667mhz Crucial memory (upgraded from 1GB)
500GB Scorio Blue HD (upgraded from 160GB Toshiba)
10.1" 1024 x 600 LCD
It came with XP, I added a Linux distro as a dual boot.

I love this little sucker!

I have a weird problem. When I push my Acer Aspire One's @ button this comes up " and vice versa. It even does it with another keyboard installed.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Upgraded the RAM to 2GB, the HDD to a 7200RPM 160GB Scorpio Black and added a bluetooth module. Also installed W7 basic.

OK, so I've changed the format to the US keyboard (the same as my other computers) and those buttons that I mentioned before work but now my o but makes a 6, my L button makes a 3, m makes a 0 and my 0 button makes a /. It works during the Windows password screen.

WTF??

i am using Panda Cloud Antivirus and i have no problem with this so i only suggest you to use. thanks

ASUS 1015PN-PU17-WT 10.1" Eee PC Netbook, Intel Atom N55 (1.5GHz), 1GB DDR3 Memory, 250GB HDD, NVIDIA ION 2, Windows 7 Starter (White)

just got that ... what the heck is win 7 starter? should I just install my normal win7?

Would MSE antivirus still be good on these?

THRiLL KiLL · Jan 13, 2011, 05:46 PM

i just got a acer aspire one aoa150 zg5. (its in the mail)

The model has 1gb of memory (512 on board and 512 upgradeable to 1gb)

to things i am debating.

1. Run windows 7, or windows xp, slimmed down by nlite. /dual boot with a linux flavor
2. how much of a pain will it be to upgrade the memory. If i have to take out the keyboard i dont want to bother.

copenhagen69 · Jan 13, 2011, 05:54 PM

do these netbooks have room for 2 2.5" HD's?

1. I would run Windows 7 Ultimate (WinXp is dead - or it will be soon)

2. upgrading RAM is easy. there should be a small panel at the bottom of the netbook with a few screws holding it in place - take the screws off and you should be able to get to the ram.

-- In some cases that small panel isnt a small panel but the entire backpanel of the netbook, procedure is still the same though - just remove it and you should see your ram underneath. if you got some cash to splash - consider upgrading the hard drive to a 90Gb SSD - you get better battery life and the netbook will get a massive speed boost since most manufacturers only put 5400RPM harddrives in their netbooks

netbooks use the same harddrives as laptops - so yes. but do check the make and model of the hard drive thats already in their first - it could be a 2.5" or 1.8"

Do keep in mind - Netbooks are highly unlikely to have support AHCI - which means no TRIM support. I dunno if other manufacturers do it - but ive been told that OCZ Vertex 2 drives have an ability to keep themselves clean and free from garbage - even with no TRIM support

ah ok ... i was just curious because I wanna stick a 2.5 SSD in there for my OS drive

copenhagen69 · Jan 14, 2011, 04:47 PM

ok got mine today ...

so far all i see is a memory compartment that I can get to and add some more ram. how would I go about getting to the HDDs?

Also, it is installing win7 on the first boot ... would it be ok if I replaced the HDD and installed my own win7? Just curious because I would like to have an SSD OS drive then a normal HDD in there.

you would need to take the whole back panel off in that case - and yes you can install windows 7 on it but make sure you got an external DvD-Rom or a high capacity USB stick so you can install W7 from USB

ok taking the back panel off is easy enough ... going the USB route per http://store.microsoft.com/help/iso-tool that

i didnt know they made a tool.. go figure.

the other method is to copy the install files from the windows 7 install cd to a usb stick. go to a command prompt, open diskpart and make the usb drive active.

So after that do you need to use a virtual drive or a no-cd crack?

copenhagen69 · Jan 14, 2011, 11:38 PM
