circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to
conserve energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet--up to
3 hours with the included 3-cell battery. Other features include 512 MB

With the
Linpus Linux Lite operating system, Acer has improved the user

interface utilizing a more natural approach to screen layout and
functionality. Even novice users will be able to quickly pick up on
this intuitive, virus-safe and super-responsive Linux environment. With
its simple, easy-to-read interface, you'll have no trouble finding and
sharing your files. And if you run out of storage space, the Aspire
One's Smart File Manager instantly and seamlessly merges extra storage
capacity from any SD card inserted into the memory card slot into the
available main memory.
The Aspire One is great for getting
things done, whether checking email, managing online accounts or
chatting with friends. The pre-installed software is separated by
functions and presented in four distinct areas on the Home
screen--Connect, Works, Fun and Files. Each area has space for three
applications, and you can easily personalize the applications.
The Aspire One Mail software suite lets you manage up to six email
accounts with a single application interface, including office
accounts. A small icon to the right of the message quickly and clearly

spreadsheet application makes both newcomers and advanced users feel
right at home. And you can create stunning multimedia presentations,
complete with 3D clip art, special effects, animation, and special
drawing tools.
Processor
The Intel Atom processor
uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors
into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just
2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel
Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz
Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of
533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a
512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
Storage
This version of the Aspire One comes with 8 GB of NAND flash memory
solid-state drive (SSD), which is adequate for students and those who
want to use the laptop primarily as an email and web surfing device.
Faster and more reliable, flash memory provides a rapid boot-up and
quicker access to applications while improving battery life. Flash
memory is also more reliable than hard disk memory, mainly because
there are no moving parts. Since data is written to stationary flash
memory instead of a spinning hard disk, you have less risk of hardware
problems with the hard disk when you're on the move. It's an ideal
feature for a travel notebook where knocks and sudden movements are par
for the course.
In addition, the Aspire One reads five
different types of memory cards--Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory
Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card--for maximum flexibility.
The additional SD card slot seamlessly integrates with the internal
NAND flash module as an added storage device. The ability to have both
a multi-in-1 card reader and a SD card reader at the same time allows
you to download photos from the multi-in-1 to share with others and
store to the SD card as an internal storage device simultaneously.
Memory
The 512 MB of installed RAM (1 x 512 MB, PC2-5300) offers a 667 MHz
speed. This notebook can be expanded to a maximum of 1.5 GB of RAM,
