Thread: ACER Aspire1 notebook any good?

Hey there, I don't know about the particular model but I have had a bit of experience with the Aspire models and my advice would be to stay away from them. But thats just my two bobs worth.

why?

Component malfunction just outside of the warranty period, I hate the extra software that they put on all of their computers but that's just me. Generally speaking its just because of the build quality and getting fed up with fixing all my friend's aspires that malfunction.

I bought one in China as my laptop took a spill and I needed a laptop. Apart from it being in Chinese which drove me nuts it was slow, but when you pay $500 for a laptop you can't expect much I guess. I think the Dell Mini 10 is a better machine.

I could not resist and purchased it today

It was the last one in the store so was lucky to get it at that price

Seems ok and like you guys said its cheep and nasty just the way i like it

Any way just a question with the screen. i want to mount the laptop in my disco on the roof upside down so the screen will fold down like a visor.

Just wondering if you can rotate the picture in the settings?
And do they still function upside down or dode this limit it's limited life further

Cheers
