User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A terriffic little computer! I love it
Having tried a competitor’s linux based system, I was expecting substandard performance. WRONG- This thing is quick. I wanted a basic netbook, but I also wanted the storage capacity for travel photos. The ACER has it! Best purchase I have made in a long time.

5 Stars Just What Was Needed
This case makes carrying the Acer Aspire One perfect. The corner restraining bands work fine. The case is a little large, but that is not really a problem. The computer works well with the case open, and that is very convenient.

3 Stars Pretty Good item
This item is OK. I wish I had looked around a little more before purchasing. I need more room to carry the power cord & external DVD. It is good for protection of my laptop though. Shop around to be sure you got the best deal!!!

5 Stars Smells weird but holds up great
It has a weird, almost toxic smell to it. This smell attaches to the laptop too, when it is brand new. Might go away soon, but otherwise great protection, has handles, works very nice.

4 Stars Just about right
Bought for the Acer Aspire One w/6 cell battery. This case is a tad oversized–perhaps 3/4 of an inch combined on the sides–so it’s not a perfect fit. The space won’t fit anything extra. It’s a great little case for that specific netbook (and diminishes the fingerprint problem if you leave the Aspire inside while using it), even though the fit is roomy.

Just Bought An ASUS Netbook: Did I Do Good?

Yggdrasil asked:

Well, I just broke down and ordered this from NewEgg ($349):

ASUS Eee PC Eee PC 900HA XP - Shiny Black Shiny Black Intel Atom N270(1.60GHz) 8.9″ WSVGA 1GB Memory 160GB HDD Netbook

Whaddya think? Anybody already got one? It has some pretty good reviews…and it runs cool…I might try to dual booy XP/LINUX.
Here’s a recent review and chat:

The thing is amazing. The Intel Atom CPU is smaller than a penny!!!
EDIT FOR TRAVIS: Small and cheap is just what I wanted for field photography, so it isn’t a problem for me.
Anannama: Nice non-answer. And I said DUAL BOOT! XP AND LINUX!
joy: I paid $349 plus Next Day UPS,

Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks with Bluetooth Technology allows people to connect directly to Bluetooth-enabled MacBook computers or Windows-based notebook PCs - without an external receiver. The V470 mouse features Bluetooth 1.2 wireless technology and laser tracking. And with its Side-to-Side Scrolling Plus Zoom, people can instantly zoom in and out, or scroll horizontally or vertically with ease.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good for work, not for game
It is good enough for regular user, but if you want to use it to play FPS games,it will not be a good choice.

1 Star Too small and jittery…
This mouse was too small for my average sized hand and it was too jittery to use well. I suppose it was fine for short use and as long as you don’t move it too quickly. However when I used it for an hour or more my hand ached and I hated having to slow down my hand movements to allow the pointer to keep up.

I paid good money for this thing expecting it to work well but I was very unhappy and it’s now sitting in the box in some cabinet. It wasn’t smooth at all and I’ve been much happier using my old usb mouse instead, even with the annoyance of having to plug it in every time.

5 Stars works great, no complaints
Bought this to go with a Bluetooth enabled Dell Mini 9 netbook. Had it working in less than 5 minutes of opening the box (most of that was the Logitech software installation). The netbook recognizes the mouse right away and auto connects to it when I boot up.

The mouse will go into sleep mode if it’s not moved for about 10 seconds, but it wakes up and reconnects in less than a second, so no big deal.

Only downside I see is remembering to turn the mouse off when you’re finished using it (the on/off button on the bottom is way too small).

BTW, it does work on games (the few I have installed on my netbook at least), however the middle wheel is not recognized as a mappable button (I think there is a freeware app that fixes that, not sure).

Overall, nice product and I’m glad I bought it.

5 Stars Great mouse
Ok, I have used five different wireless mice, and I have to say this one is great. This is my first bluetooth or laser mouse. The bluetooth is nice because of the range. I sometimes use my laptop as a video player since it has hdmi out, and the mouse becomes the remote.

After using a laser you will never go back to optical. Laser is way better and will work on ANY surface. That includes glass, the couch, or even the carpet.

I don’t know about the battery life yet, but I have been using it a few hours a day for the last three weeks and I am still on the first pair of AAs, which seems decent to me. It says it even has a warning light for when you should replace them.

4 Stars Great Device
Its Sleek . Its Slim and it fits perfectly. Ergonomic as well as asthetic. Great match for my Aqua Blue Speck Cover for Macbook.

Anyone having an Eee PC or another netbook?

November 30th, 2008 by laptop reviews | 2 Comments | Filed in Laptop Reviews
Jose asked:

I want to buy a netbook, but I haven`t decided which one. I like Asus Eee PC 900HA. if anyone has an Eee PC, please tell me how has been your experience. All I want is Internet use, schoolwork and small simple games. I like 900HA because its one of the smallest and has a 160gb hard drive, would you recommend it?
