Acer Aspire AS1410-8804 11.6-Inch Black Laptop - 6 Hour Battery Life Reviewed by M. Weaver (Arlington, VA. United States)
Satisfied Rating (10/10)
This netbook is equipped with 32-bit Vista and 2 GB of RAM. It is certainly quite impressive. The installation of the operating system adds a surprising amount of bloatware that a time to take charge. The extra nag a lot and require constant updating - the laptop is always slow for the first 10-15 minutes after the start because of automatic updates and various downloads.

Although this machine is not really designed for multimedia, I was surprised that the load of an AVI or WMV files virtually frozen it.
I use Ubuntu x64 on my desktop and Kino, and curiosity I loaded on this system. Everything went smoothly, the wireless worked perfectly, but I ended up installing a driver for the Ethernet network card manually. I Kino, ffmpeg, and Fl

| Review by D. Burrows (North Georgia) 2010-03-08 So far I'm quite happy with my new DV6-2170US. It is not designed to run software that is set, but after my first week has done well with the applications that I have. Technical support from HP is terrible, but expected. (During the process of creating a functional Office 2003, I was informed that, among other things, Office 2003, n... Read more reviews | ||
