Acer Aspire One A110
"The Eee-beater to beat"

Verdict

The Aspire One is everything a Small, Cheap, Computer should be. The build quality is excellent, the feature list is not half bad, and it certainly looks and feels the part. Indeed, it's the best-looking SCC we've seen. On the down side, the standard battery is poor and - with the Linux versions at least - getting online using a 3G network isn't straightforward.

Of course, the really great thing about the AA1 is that you can tuck it under your arm, go our and feel far less of a tit than if you were carrying a MacBook Air. Worth buying for that alone, if you ask us.

and why shouldn't they?

The interesting bit is that they compare the speed of the One to the Eee Pc (701/901) and it beats all three models, faster than even the 1.8Ghz 901!

I wonder what the explanation for that is? Could it help to explain the poor battery life of the One?

I don't understand the battery test. The Wind with 177min and the AA1 with 106min???


edit:
They tested the Wind with 6-cell, so the battery life of the AA1 is better
