With the added bonus of a CrystalEye webcam you can easily keep in touch with loved ones absolutely free.

If it’s an ultra-portable laptop you need without compromising on performance, you can’t go wrong with the Aspire one 150L.

Question from Lauren: Asked on 24/01/2009 Can you install PC games via an external CD drive? If so, which are compatible?

Answer from David J: Answered on 26/01/2009
Yes, you can install games and other software via an external drive. Only basic 2D and internet games will be compatible as the graphics card is shared from the RAM memory and low specification

Question from Stu: Asked on 04/12/2008 Is there an Acer One which has a firewire connection?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 05/12/2008
No.

Question from ab: Asked on 29/11/2008 I would like to use the webcam on the device with Skype. Please advise whether the Linux installation comes with Skype pre-installed.

Question from bugs: Asked on 26/11/2008 Would a note book model be suitable for a couple who are migrating to Oz and would use it for skype, internet, music and uploading some photos?? does it come with vista?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 27/11/2008
Yes it would. This model doesn't come with vista but that operating system is very resource hungry and if installed it would cause the netbook to collapse and seize up under the strain! Linux is a very easy OS to use and is made for netbooks such as this acer one.

Question from lewis: Asked on 13/11/2008 How do you put programs on this laptop, and where can you get that from

You can either download them from net or if you buy an external optical drive then you can load them from that.

Question from Jason: Asked on 11/11/2008 Hi is this machine capable of running yahoo messenger,msn,skype,and paltalk all at once while browsing the web.

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 11/11/2008
Yes but it will be very slow. Its only got an Intel atom processor and is meant to be used for single tasks. If you are wanting to multi-task then a dual core processor is the way forward.

Question from hjt: Asked on 03/11/2008 We have wireless broadband at home will this connect without any problems?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 05/11/2008
Yes it will.

Question from Noel: Asked on 21/10/2008 I took delivery of this product yesterday and am extremely pleased; it is a fantastic little machine. I have a question… I plan to install WINE so I can install a few of my windows programmes… is there any benefit in my installing Ubuntu first or should I simply stay the pre-installed Linux Linpus Lite. Thanks!

Answer from peterh: Answered on 27/10/2008
There are no real benefits of running WINE under Ubuntu rather than Linpus. Some people prefer Ubuntu for other reasons (visual style) but the WINE performance will remain unchanged.

Question from Noel: Asked on 17/10/2008 Hi, I have my own copy of windows, can I buy this model and install that (overwritting the linux)? This will obviously save me some money and get me the extra ram.

Yes, you can install Windows XP onto these, but you will need an external DVD drive.

Question from Eu: Asked on 05/10/2008 can i install at a later date the windows xp on this model? are all the xp drivers available for download?

Answer from Matt: Answered on 06/10/2008

Answer from peterh: Answered on 03/10/2008
Yes it's possible to dual-boot on an aspire one - You will need an external DVD drive to install XP.

Question from matt: Asked on 17/09/2008 Please can you tell me if it is possible to install thunderbird and other software on the Linpus Linux Lite OS?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 18/09/2008

Question from Richie: Asked on 17/09/2008 Do you know when the 6-cell battery version of this machine will be available?

Question from wanderer: Asked on 14/09/2008 I wish to use this to backup my pictures from a card, each evening on a 63 day safari in Africa; I don't want to delete anything from the card. So when I download say day 2, can I avoid a duplicate download of day 1? Or do I have to ditch the previous day 1 download on the netbook?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 15/09/2008
Depending on what option you select, it will either overwrite the existing day1 photos on the netbook again with the same day1 photos on the card, or it will ignore the ones that already exist and only copy new photos (day2). In neither circumstance would duplicates be created - In order to get duplicates you would have to be copying them to a different folder each day.

Question from George: Asked on 26/08/2008 Can you run logmein.com (or equivalent remote control software) under Linux please?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 26/08/2008
Yes.

Question from George: Asked on 26/08/2008 What will be the output resolution from a digital projector from the Aspire One and are there any speed or aspect ratio issues using converted PowerPoint files in Linux with a image intensive PowerPoint presentation?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 26/08/2008
The linux version of the Aspire One outputs at 1024 x 600. It may be possible to alter this resolution by using updated display drivers, certainly more of a possibility on the XP version. You can import PowerPoint presentations into OpenOfficeImpress (installed on the Linux Aspire One as standard) and edit them - There will be no problem in running them.

Question from Colin: Asked on 18/08/2008 can you run iTunes on the Linux version?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 19/08/2008
iTunes currently does not support the Linux operating system. However, there are third party modifications that allow iTunes to run on Linux, and it is also possible to run Wine (a windows emulator) on Linux and run iTunes in that. For guaranteed compatability and ease of use, I would recommend buying the XP version of the Aspire One instead.

Question from Will: Asked on 11/08/2008 am i able to download lime wire and msn on this computer?

The XP version features Acers eRecovery software which allows OS re-installation via partition and disc (using an external drive). The Linux version has software to repair and restore damaged installations, instructions are included.
