I purchased my Acer Aspire One AOA150-1635 8.9-inch Netbook with the Memory Upgrade which was advertised as “a quick and simple upgrade you can do yourself.” That may be the case with a newer new model if you can unscrew a plate on the bottom and get to the memory. Amazon may be shipping an earlier version of the AOA150-1635 which does not have access to the memory from the bottom. I don’t know this for a fact. Installation for this unit requires taking the entire unit apart, which probably voids the warranty, in order to get to the plug-in location. There is no way it is “a quick and simple upgrade you can do your self.” I went on line to see how to do it. Check out:[..] and see for yourself if the memory upgrade is quick and simple. I am afraid to upgrade my unit and am waiting to see what Amazon.com will do about this. The advertising for the memory upgrade clearly misrepresents what is being sold. The price is the same as in local stores and is fair. However, if you intend to upgrade the memory, insist on getting a picture of the bottom of the unit or some representation that a quick and easy upgrade is quick and easy. I suspect that I would have been better off purchasing locally with the store installing the upgrade. All I saved was the tax and recycling charge.

I heard good things about this item, but unfortunately the one i received did not have the operating system installed. I had to return it for a full refund.

We turned on the computer which is a gift for my father in low B-day, and it never gave video. Seems something is wrong and cannot turn on the screen. I will return this back inmediatly. I bought another ACER netbook and is working amazing.. but this one really disapointed me.

This is the first time I’ve had a disappointing experience purchasing from Amazon. This netbook arrived poorly packaged and damaged in transit. It arrived in the manufacturer’s box, which had been placed inside a larger box with deflated and inadequate air bubble packaging which did not hold the inside box securely. It spent its transit bouncing around inside the larger box. Consequently, the screen was cracked on arrival. Very disappointing. I am in the process of completing my return with Amazon, but will think long and hard in future before purchasing a fragile electronic device from them again. Books and non-breakables yes, electronics unlikely. Too bad, since this is a cute little netbook. I ended up going down the street where I found one just like it at our local stationery supply chain store.

I recently purchased this product and while it’s OK, it is very slow and it came with very little in the way of instructions which I needed because this is my first small pc. A small lap top if that’s a better way to describe it.
