Review Acer Aspire One D270-26Dbb Netbook

[maria mahdi]

some of my keyboard keys do not press until i hold the fn key why?

I needed a mini with a higher screen resolution than the D270 offers.  I need 1024 x 766; however, the max on this unit is 1024 x 600.  Is there a cheap fix for this?

can damaged case be replaced? i just got my acer netbook's case broken, can this be replaced? how much does it cost?

There is also a Linux version that comes with 2 GB RAM preinstalled. Windows 7 starter is really uncustomizable and it would be happy with 2 GB RAM as well, so I wonder why Acer have chosen to make a netbook with it. People get frustrated and think that it is the netbook that is at fault, but actually, the problem is that Windows 7 starter really wants more capable hardware and is too limited to actually work for normal human beings. Not being able to change the wallpaper is just Microsofts way of giving the finger to anybody that doesn't want to pay extreme sums of money for the versions of Windows 7 that actually works. I wonder who is dumb enough to upgrade after such a bad taste of Windows 7.

Great review. My advice: throw out the 1Gb RAM and replace it with 2Gb (cost about $10) and install a better version of Windows 7 and you'll have a very decent little computer. I run Visual Studio on it and its fast enough for my needs. Yeah - a blinding fast desktop is in theory better but this thing is incredibly portable and a pleasure to type on. Battery life is awesome.

When I power it up, for some odd reason my testes vibrate. When my girlfriend comes over to use it, I noticed her left nipple twitched a lot.

my Acer Aspire One D270-26Dbb Netbook, wireless doesn't work... so i returned it

I have no idea why, but whenever I create a video with the webcam, it "skips" and "stutters" WHILE its recording and it does so after its done. What can I do?  I make J-Pop dance videos and I thought this computer would help.  :'(

Upgrade to 2GB ($20) plus WIN8 ($49), add Classic Start Menu (freeware) and it runs soooo much better.  I have added DOSBOX for some old specialist programs with no hassle.

Your products have been very reliable but is the aspire one D270 model compatible with the new windows 8 and why? how can i get it on mine...

[michal]

can i upgrade  ram in this netbook????????

[jaz4]

I have had several Acer netbooks and notebooks all have been fantastic. I have a 532 with 2bg ram and a SSD this is as fast as my acer notebook core 3 with same ram and SSD. My old notebook lost its battery charge and tried several times to get a replacement in the end stripped it down sold the bits for about the cost for a i3.

My netbook I upgrade every 2 years sell the old one add £40 difference to get the next model up for around £140 this way I dont get battery issues.

2GB ram is a must and so is a SSD. yes you loose some storage, so put the old HD in a portable usb case and watch it fly.

I have noticed that a lot of these now are 3 cells, cant be doing with that.

These devices are more than capable of surfing and office work, ok serious spread sheet or autocad then its a pc with masssive monitor, (saying that add a usb mouse and plug into hdmi TV way you go) but I like the keyboard so noooooo to touchpads and windos 8

[Sparkles]

I love my D270 (even with only 1GB) - but after 9 months some keys have started to come loose on my keyboard - has anybody else had this problem?

Acer have said - it is because I have damaged it - I don't think so!
