Acer Aspire One D250 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit

The D250 is the latest version of Acer's Aspire One. Build quality feels sturdy, although the display hinge felt a bit wobbly.

ITreviews‘s review Edit

There's no doubt that the D250 is a step forward compared to the original Aspire One. We were, however, hoping for more of a leap forward from Acer. Yes, the use of Intel's latest N280 CPU and the excellent screen are both plus points, and it's priced with rival offerings, but we're left wondering why Acer didn't furnish it with 802.11n WiFi and, perhaps more importantly, why it didn't take the opportunity to design a slightly bigger keyboard. And with the Asus Eee PC 1000HE offering vastly better battery life and a more usable keyboard, the Aspire One D250 just misses out on a Recommended award.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

This new version of the Acer Aspire One D250 with Windows 7 and Android is around £280 – or you can find the first Windows XP version for £199. Put kindly, we’d say that Acer's Android-on-a-netbook project is work in progress right now, with so little actually possible on the Google Linux side. If you need to get things done, you’re still going to have to work in Windows.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

The Acer Aspire One (D250-1165) is now thinner and lighter than its predecessor without raising prices.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

The Acer Aspire One (D250-1958) is sure to be a best-selling netbook because it's cheap, but the typing and navigating experience needs a drastic overhaul.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

Despite booting both XP and Android in one netbook, the Acer Aspire One AOD250 (Android) falls short in terms of features and design.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

The Acer Aspire One D250 is a very capable netbook. It boasts the portability - certainly in terms of weight - of much smaller machines, which makes it suitable for those frequently on the road.

Google's Android OS provides a disappointing distraction from an otherwise average netbook

Liliputing‘s review Edit

And so, overall I’m profoundly pleased with my purchase. For less than $400 including shipping, I’ve got a light, thin, reliable, and sensibly designed little road warrior. Sure, there are things I’d change: mainly the trackpad and that obnoxious fingerprint-magnet of a top lid. But aside from those minor annoyances, this thing does everything I want it to do, exactly as I’d hoped. To my mind, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

What you are left with is a netbook that works well enough, but without the Android OS as a valid differentiator, there are plenty of other netbooks out there to consider. Android fans might be tempted, but as a mainstream netbook this has limited appeal.

NotebookReview‘s review Edit

Although the Acer Aspire One D250-1165 offers a great value for less than $300, I can't help but feel a little less than impressed. Acer used a small keyboard, small touchpad, and worst of all a small battery on what is otherwise a fantastic netbook.

Register Hardware‘s review Edit

This is a nice netbook, and having a quick-boot alternative to Windows is nice to have. But it's far from essential and neither is it a full OS. The true Android netbook, it ain't.

tweaktown‘s review Edit

There is nothing in particular that is wrong with the D250. It works well and offers everything that you would want in a netbook. After putting my sweaty mitts on a plethora of notebooks and netbooks over the last few weeks, I simply want more.

computershopper‘s review Edit

The AOD250 has a curious second operating system (Google's Android) and long battery life, but its ergonomics are flawed, and Android is less exciting than we hoped.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

For the price, it's hard to find fault with Acer's even cheaper version of the 10.1-inch Aspire One, as long as you're not expecting top-of-the-line features.

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit

Overall, we’re very impressed with the Acer Aspire One D250. Still, we’re at a loss as to why Acer felt it needed a nearly identical system in terms of price and performance, albeit one that’s marginally thinner and lighter. We would much rather give up that extra 0.3 inches of thickness for a wider keyboard and touchpad. But, as far as netbooks go, the Acer Aspire One D250 is every bit as good as its predecessor, in an even smaller package.

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit

Acer promises high reliability and availability of the Aspire One D250 on its Homepage, underlines the long battery life and a number of optional features. Currently only one preconfigured version is available at resellers with various case colors. It has an Intel Atom N280 CPU, a 160GB harddisk and the mid range 6-cell, 48.8 Wh battery lasting for 6 hours. Our test model sent by Acer has an Intel Atom N270 CPU and a smaller 3-cell, 24Wh battery. As it is not available at resellers, it can serve as a rough guide for prospective buyers.
