My Review 

The price and the over eight hour battery life are what I like the best about this little netbook. It has the multi-gesture touchpad but I honestly don't use that feature. Since this isn't my primary computer and I don't use it everyday I don't remember the multi-gesture stuff. If I need to use it for any great length of time I'll usually plug in a mouse.

The keys are big but rather flat and tightly spaced so typing for extended periods of time can get uncomfortable but since I use it primarily for surfing this isn't a big problem. It's small and easy to carry around and that's what I want in a netbook.

Screen Size 

10-inches

How Much Did You Pay? 

Between $251 and $300

Primary Use Of Netbook? 

Secondary Travel PC

Why Did You Choose This Netbook? 

It was the right price at the right place at the right time -- a sort of spur-of-the-moment purchase one evening -- but I had read some reviews and felt it offered what I needed.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Not quite sure which Aspire One model this would be, but my guess would probably be a 532h.
