You'll want to keep the AC charger at arms' length. Because of its Linux operating system, we could not run any standard battery run-down tests, but with regular use, including surfing the Web, listening to music over Pandora, and word processing, the mini-notebook got 1 hour and 58 minutes of runtime. We managed to squeeze about 2 hours out of the battery with Wi-Fi on. With its Intel Atom processor and a three-cell battery, we expected the Aspire one to last longer on a charge. The rest of the system felt only a little warm on our lap, however, with most other areas measuring 87 to 94 degrees. Interestingly, when a card is slid into the dedicated SD Card slot, the computer treats it not as separate storage but as part of the hard drive.ĭuring testing, the Aspire One got a bit hot on the underside of the unit on the left side (toward the exhaust), measuring about 107 degrees. To its credit, Acer does include two card slots, both of which accept SDHC Cards. The mini-notebook packs an 8GB solid state drive, which helps boot the system in a quick 20 seconds.However, despite the durability and speed of the SSD, we were disappointed by its limited 8GB of storage space, of which only 6.4GB is available to the end user.īy comparison, the Linux version of the Eee PC 901 comes with a 20GB SSD.
