Lightweight, Stylish Design

Weighing just 2.17 pounds and measuring 9.8 x 6.7 x 1.14-inches, Aspire

one is lightweight, compact and fits snugly in a backpack or tote bag.

It also offers a stylish design with a unique selection of colors

to suit personal preferences and lifestyles. The smooth surface is

hinge ring, highlight the appealing look and feel. Initially offered in

either sapphire blue or seashell white, Aspire one will also be

The Aspire one has a vibrant 8.9-inch CrystalBrite WSVGA LED backlit

display with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. Integrated in the screen

is an Acer Crystal Eye webcam featuring Acer PrimaLite technology. This

unique camera affords live video streaming, video chats and conferences,

even in low-light environments.

This highly mobile Internet device comes standard with a 3-cell battery

that provides up to 3 hours of battery life.⁽²⁾

When used with an optional 6-cell battery the Linpus™

Linux^® Lite version

of Aspire one offers up to 7 hours of battery life,⁽²⁾

giving users the freedom to enjoy mobility for a coast to coast flight

or almost a full day’s play.

There are two practical options for data storage: a NAND flash module of

8GB⁽³⁾ with an additional SD card slot for

smart storage expansion or a 120GB⁽⁴⁾ internal

hard drive. 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 users to download photos from the multi-in-1 to

share with others and store to the SD card as an internal storage device

simultaneously.

For enjoying MP3 music and videos, the Aspire one comes with two

built-in stereo speakers and offers high-definition audio support. The

system also comes standard with 802.11b/g and is Wi-Fi certified for

connecting wirelessly at home, at school and Internet cafes. Acer

SignalUp technology ensures maximum quality and stability to the

wireless signal.

Simple, Easy to Use Software

The Aspire one is offered in several models based on either Linpus™

Linux^® Lite or

Windows XP^® Home

software.

The simple, intuitive Linux interface clearly organizes everything

task-centric. The pre-installed software is separated by use of

functions and presented in four distinct areas on the screen –

Connect, Works, Fun and Files – making it

extremely simple to get online, be productive and just have fun. A click

of the home key brings users back to the home page at any time.

This new mobile Internet device comes with the Aspire one mail software

suite that lets users manage up to six email accounts with a single

application interface. A small icon to the right of the message quickly

and clearly shows the appropriate mail account. The system also provides

Messenger for Instant Messaging with a single sign-in to manage multiple

messenger accounts, which allows users to simultaneously access Google

Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Microsoft Windows Live

Messenger and various other instant messaging services. The software can

be used with the integrated video camera for instant file sharing, voice

chats and video conferences.
