The netbook is as it is described. Nothing more or nothing less. It is a bit slow, so I have to upgrade the RAM to 2GB.

I bought this netbook to take with me on a long trip to Sri Lanka in a couple of weeks time. I'm carrying a lot of camera equipment so I wanted something smaller/lighter than my usual 15 inch laptop. I didn't really think it would do much more than access my e-mails etc, but actually it is a perfectly good fully functioning PC. It happily runs Photoshop and my screen calibration software, is quite adequate for internet browsing and runs Skype. As is common with most netbooks it doesn't have a DVD drive, but I bought an inexpensive DVD drive (read only)which I use for loading software. You can upgrade the RAM to 2gb, but I find the 1gb already installed perfectly adequate, it wasn't that many years ago that I was using workstation PCs for graphic design with a good deal less RAM than that. In summary, I'm very pleased with the little Acer and often use it in preference to my larger laptop.

Excellent for most of what I use it for web browsing e.t.c only issue is that of overheating so I had to purchase a USB powered fan for it now it doesn't overheat as much! Only other minor issue is internet explorer regularly crashing and hanging up maybe ie or the fact the pc probably needs more ram I'm not too sure! Overall 4 stars would highly recommend this product!!! Battery life not quite the 8 hours advertised (I get 6 even on min settings)

gordon7738 - See all my reviews

It's not too small but convenient to carry around to do day to day things on. I bought it because of its size. It's good. RAM could be bigger to make it faster but I'm happy

Joss (UK) - See all my reviews

Having read the other reviews I was a bit worried about the prospect of having to wrestle with the innards and install 2 GB RAM, but having tried it out of the box it works just fine without. I guess it depends what you want to do with it, but if you just want to have internet and email access while away from home, along with access to existing documents and the ability to create new ones, this reasonably priced, light weight netbook is just the job. I would have preferred the full versions of at least the essential components of Office: for some reason the product key I have for my student version of Office Professional Plus wasn't accepted but that's something I need to take up with Microsoft when I get a minute...

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow,Broke and battery only last 1 hour, 16 Mar 2012

dexter luminol (uk) - See all my reviews

This desk top sucks... It is slow the batter life is only about an hour if you are lucky. The DC input went after about 5 month so you cannot charge the item. Clearly the worst laptop/netbook I have owned. RUBBISH AVOID.

I was excited to get this new netbook after having trouble with my previous Asus one. However, this is just excruciatingly slow. It crashes even when you try to do the most simple of tasks. I bought it mostly just for using the internet and even then it struggles. Not impressed at all.

It's everything I hoped it would be and tremendous value at the price. Also light and portable with a nifty box that serves as a carry case !

I agree with other reviewers that the microphone and speakers aren't great. Sound is somewhat tinny - but that's a minor quibble. I don't use it for audio much, mainly internet access and emails.

I agree that Android isn't too good, but it's pre-loaded and has helped me familiarise myself with it, so I'm not complaining.

All in all, a great little machine at a great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little machine. Works well with Windows 7 and MS Office Applications, 15 Nov 2011

I'm pretty happy with the D255 so far - it meets my needs for a lightweight machine that can handle my day-to-day work demands. Only niggle so far is with the touch pad, which is too sensitive causing repeated typing errors as your hand floats over it.
Having used this netbook for a week now, here is a quick report on what I've done with it:
- I installed the 2Gig DDR3 RAM upgrade immediately. This is an awkward procedure even if there are some useful Youtube videos to assist you. Suggest you only attempt this if you are comfortable dismantling fiddly electronic components. Prising the keyboard off your brand new purchase is a little unnerving...
- I ditched the pre-installed copy of Windows (as it seemed slow) and replaced it with clean build of Windows7 Ultimate (x86). Performance was noticeably improved. Windows found most drivers during install (if connected to the internet). The original set is in a hidden directory on the C: Drive called OEM. You can force these to install afterwards. You need to install the Acer Launch app to use the keyboard driven options (like WiFi on/off). Drivers can also be found on the Acer website.
- Partitioned the drive with a 100G D: drive and encrypted it with bitlocker. No notable performance impact when using the D: drive.
- Installed Office 2010, itunes, MS Forefront, Norton Ghost. All run fine.
OS installation is quite slow, especially installing all the windoze updates, but once everything is up and running the netbook is quite quick. Outlook, powerpoint, word , excel etc all run smoothly. Windows is happy with Aero switched on although I disabled windows file indexing and search services which may be helping. CPU usage floats around 30% on average. Windows Experience rates the machine at 3.0, the weakest factor being Calc per Sec @ 3.1. Disk performance is surprisingly good (score of 5.9). HD Tune reported an average of >50Mbps from the HDD which is fine.
This netbook is never going to play games. Minecraft is unplayable, even in 'fast' mode. Video is ok - Youtube and BBC iplayer are smooth, even at full screen. It managed to play a 720p MKV video (just). 1080p is not really an option.
WiFi is good - Speedtest.net clocked over 10Mbps over WiFi at home. External connectivity works well also. The integrated VGA and USB connectors mean I can plug the netbook into a monitor, mouse, keyboard at work. The monitor auto switches to high resolution.
The netbook feels reasonably robust. I don't really like the gloss finish and expect this will start to look beaten up within a few months. The display is ok - not the best I've seen but good for the price. Reflection is low and it seems fine in daylight. The power socket feels flimsy. This may be the first part to break.
The underside can get a little warm (my legs are hot now) and fan noise is audible, but not noticeable at all. Sound levels from the netbook are quite low. Don't plan to listen to any music via the internal speaker.
Battery life seems to be around 4.5 hours with typical use. I suspect this may extend with offline only use. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. I've had a few admiring looks on the train and at work. For the price, my expectations have been met (so far).
