Acer Aspire One Happy 2DQb2b-LU.SEE0D.004 Review posted on 2011-03-13
10.1 inch Web Netbook
The Acer Aspire One Happy is a decent netbook, but, apart from the range of colours that it's available in and the presence of Android 2.1, it doesn't really offer anything that you can't get elsewhere for a similar price.

With excellent battery life, a light weight and a slim design, the Acer Aspire One Happy is perfect for business users, students and basically anyone who is always on the go. Its small size makes it easy to use while on public transport (as long as you have a seat), and frequent flyers should appreciate the netbook's ability to get through five hours of standard-definition video playback on a single charge. The performance of the Aspire One Happy is also much better than a typical netbook thanks to its dual-core Intel Atom N550 CPU. We're not sold on the implementation of Android though, which we think serves no useful purpose on this netbook.

For AU$499, the Acer Aspire One Happy is likely to make someone happy. Increasingly, though, we're seeing netbooks as too limited, especially when they're bundled with 1GB RAM, are limited to 1024x600 and come with Windows 7 Starter. We'd be much more tempted to splash out on a thin-and-light like the MacBook Air or a full-fledged budget laptop instead.
