Acer Aspire One 532h Review
The reason I highly recommend this netbook is not just because of its low price — it has almost everything I would recommend for a netbook!

Specification
Lets first look at its internal component:

1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 Processor
1GB DDR2 Memory
160GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
802.11 b/g/n Wireless Certified
10.1″ WSVGA Acer CrystalBrite LED Display
Intel GMA 3150 Graphics
Windows 7 Starter
Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life

The specs itself is a pretty average in today’s netbook market. Browse around netbooks of other brands and models (Amazon sells almost every netbook models available on the market at the lowest price most of the time) and you will notice that most of them have almost the same specs as this Acer model (some have even lower specs), but you can hardly find any of them at this low price.

Touchpad And Keyboard
Due to the compact size of a netbook, there’s limited space for keyboard and touchpad. It’s important for the netbook manufacturer to optimize the available space to design a keyboad and touchpad that are large enough to be used comfortably. Acer has done a pretty good job in this area.

As you can see from the picture, Acer make use of the available space very effectively by stretching it from one end to the other. Both the Keyboard and touchpad are pretty spacious to be use comfortably. Also, the touchpad support multitouch gestures so that’s another big plus.

Performance
Performance wise, the Acer Aspire One 532h is as good as all other single core Atom based netbook. You can do tasks like surfing the web, listening to music, checking email, and chatting through Skype without any problem with this netbook. What you cannot do is watching high definition videos and playing high-end games like Crysis on this netbook. It just does not have enough processing power to handle those demanding tasks, which is also the case for all other single core Atom based netbooks on the market.

Battery Life
One of the reason that I love this netbook is its excellent battery life. I have not tested this myself but the folks at LaptopMagazine has managed to squeeze 8 hours and 36 minutes of battery life out of the Aspire One 532h. What they did was to continuously surf the web over WiFi until the battery used up. I am really impressed with such long battery life for a netbook at this price!

Acer AO532h-2588 ($274.99)

September 17th, 2010

Amazon is offering the Acer Aspire One 532h-2588 for $274.99 with free shipping.

Editor’s note: The AO532h-2588 comes with a typical netbook specs which includes a 10.1-inch screen, Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, and 160GB hard drive. Acer advertised it to have a battery life of up to 8 hours, but in real life usage you should get only around 5 to 6 hours depending on what application you run. If you just want a portable computer that you can travel with and get you connected anytime for web surfing or email checking, this AO532h-2588 will not disappoint you.
