Acer Aspire One Happy user reviews

Good: The color, convenience in carrying it everywhere

Bad: quite slow

Comment: I received one of these last year. It's just fine, but like the review says, it's weak for multitasking and it's quite slow, so it's really only for small data thingies. If I had enough money I would've swapped it with a bigger, faster laptop. I still use it, it fell of the table one time, but it's still working. I guess it's just up to how the owner uses it. I just hated the Windows starter OS though, and Android? Never seen it.

Good: Bright range of Colours

Bad: Everything else

Comment: I purchased this netbook and have not enjoyed it atall.It is slow,breaks incredibly easily and is really not worth £250.I hate mine and am looking forward to getting rid of it.The pink cover on mine always comes off but the main problem is how incredibly slow it is.To load google sometimes takes me over two hours.I consequently never use mine and it has just been a useless waste of money.

Good: The battery life , comes in a range ofcolours

Bad: The android dosen't work well on netbooks

Comment: I had this netbook for christmas 2011 . I love it , it has an option of booting on Android or Windows. The netbook is small and it is great too get covers for.

I use this every day and the battery life lasts 4-5 hours . I love all of the features of it . The bad thing is it dosen't work well with Android, but personally I think it works alright as it is a netbook.

I had the Orange one it dosen't look as good as it is

Good: Funky colour

Bad: Lid is too flexible and prone to cause screen problems

Comment: Owned one for 6 weeks when the screen cracked from under the bezel. It is not my main laptop so use had been minimal, spent most of its short life on my coffee table.

Good: small and colourfull

Bad: too slow,n550 atom at 1.5 GHz,intel GMA 3150 performance are too bad.

Comment: perhaps it's good for daily computing,but for gaming,it's not a good choice.acer aspire happy are not happy at all,it just make me feel not happy when i try to play my favourite game.maybe i should buy a better netbook,that has nvidia graphic card,or perform better than this GMA 3150.the truth is,i realy don't like this netbook,happy in the outside,but not in the inside.there is no upgrade option for this machine,everything is fixs,and i always,always not recommend this netbook,the acer aspire not happy.

Good: Easy to use on the move

Bad: Delicate

Comment: . I purchased mine for £179.99 I have the baby blue one. This was the second netbook of the same netbook I ended up exchanging for another, because half of the screen went white and couldnt be fixed so took it back. I think this netbook is extremely delicate, the screen itself is very thin and when you need to adjust it, you have to be careful with incase of damage.

It has windows 7 starter so you need to upgrade to experience full benefits of the system. Cant change your desktop BG unless you upgrade which is annoying. I did change the windows to Android and to be fair it feels weird as its the system is better suited on a smartphone, so changed it back. The memory is good. It has WIFI which is excellent for connecting on the go and built in bluetooth.

Has 3 USB ports and an SD reader. No compact disc drive. Has Kensington lock for security. Built in Webcam which was a nice surprise as I didnt expect it, considering the price I paid for the netbook. Screen resolution is good. Can be slow at times to run, can depend on internet connection. I noticed that when I first used it, the system kept updating itself almost everyday, never understood why. This doesnt happen anymore.

All in All its a good choice of netbook for first time users, who want something light and portable to carry around. I think my trusty netbook has served me well so far and I would like to think its got abit more life in it yet. I would definitely consider a netbook when this one finally packs in, as they are more convenient. Acer have done well with this, considering their products normally cost a fortune, so for those wanting to get something affordable, choose the Acer Happy Netbook range.

Comment: You can now get the Happy with the Intel Atom N550 Dual Core processor. Amazon have them going for £250 (a fiver less than the N450 single core version!)

Comment: I bought this netbook 3 days ago.when I try to watch movie it freezes and makes a crazy noise. Does anyone know if this a HW error or is because of windows7 starter limitations?
