I have owned an Acer Aspire One netbook for over one year. The warranty was for 12 months so it has expired, I believe. I recently discovered that the netbook power connector inside the netbook is loose. I have been moving it around to try to get it

A: You can get a new one if you are looking. Repairing a power cord is risky for your laptop. check for power cable under Laptop category.

I need a little suggestion regarding what would be the best antivirus to use on my Acer Aspire One netbook. (260 GB HD, 1 GB RAM). The McAfee Antivirus that was provided with it is not a very good software, I must say. So I need a better alternative.

All of the following anti virus programs are free for personal use. All work very well, but my personal favorite is “Avast”.

I have a Acer aspire one, however i have a problem with the fan, so i downloaded this program that lets me control when the fan is on or off. What is the best temperature to have it at? If there is some other fix to my fan problem, let me know.

A: Sounds like you know what your doing. i dont know the running temperature but the fan is factory set to run 24/7.

You can set the fan to turn off when the CPU reaches a certain temperature. Depending on which software you downloaded it

I just purchased the acer aspire one and I want to hear from anyone else that has one.

The Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G (8951G-2638G87Wlkk to be specific) is a behemoth of a notebook that's perfect as a desktop replacement. It has an 18.4in, Full HD screen, a comfortable backlit keyboard and its guts are full of Intel Core i7 quad-core goodness. It's a computer that can be used for anything, including gaming, and it has a strong focus on multimedia. So much so that the touchpad can be removed from the notebook's base and used as a remote control with the supplied Clear-Fi software. It's not great software though, and the functionality of the touchpad as a remote is limited, but we like the innovation.

Cons: Chassis is face down to tamper marks. To a certain slower hard-boiled force act. Comes with Windows

The Acer Aspire One D260 is a 10.1” netbook designed as the augment-up to the critically acclaimed D250. It features a sound technological itemizing which includes Intel’s Atom N450 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard-nosed approach and Intel’s GMA 3150 GPU.

Though this individual form of the D260 has a smaller hard-hearted operate and works out around £50 cheaper than the Toshiba NB250 , their specifications are in truth very closely aligned. Consideration boasting an N455 processor, you’ll find that the deportment of the Toshiba is almost equivalent to the D260 – this is due to the certainty the N455 and N450 are essentially the same processor, aside from the former supporting faster and more power-economic DDR3 RAM. We’ve often wondered how the two processors would work chief-to-premier, and our reviews lend the categorical moment to do some testing.

After setting up and updating Ubuntu 10.04.1 on both systems, we installed a minuscule opting for of benchmarks to weigh up both machines like for like. The results were surprising in their likeness – the act delta between the two was inappreciable, to the indicate where many tests mow down well within a border of literal. For model, the Toshiba and Acer models scored 15.54 and 15.42 mutatis mutandis on the CPU Blowfish exam in System Profiler & Benchmark and they created a Blender carve out within one tick of each other on a 35-blink surrender, with the D260 pipping the NB250 to the shore for a blemished rhythm.

There was scarcely hesitate that the Toshiba NB250 performed more intelligent on our SysBench FileIO fleetness test, however, by executing a 3GB interfile comprehend and correspond with examination precisely ten seconds quicker (31 seconds compared to 40 seconds for the D260), but in transcoding and queue compression they were basically neck-and-neck.
