18-Jul-2008 Ruds: Hello.. I would like to know if windows xp can be installed onthe laptop? Thank You

Easycom: As long as you can get the drivers from Acer, then yes.

23-Jul-2008 mumtaz: will I get a drivers CD along with this notebook.

Easycom: The drivers will likely be on a separate hard drive partition. You can burn them to disc, along with the system restore data as well.

29-Jul-2008 Mike Turner: Can I install microsoft word onto this laptop using the pre installed operating system or do I need to be running XP or Vista? Does this laptop have a CD/DVD drive or USB ports?

Easycom: For Microsoft Office, you will need a windows based operating system. On Linux you could use OpenOffice, which is an open source (free) alternative to Microsoft Office. Alternatively, consider the XP version of the Aspire One. The aspire one does not have an integrated CD/DVD drive as it is a small form factor netbook - an external drive can be used via one of the three USB2.0 ports.

30-Jul-2008 Samuel: How well will this run programs like Photoshop and Flash? Also, how does it cope with games from the last couple of years? (for example, Half Life 2 or Dawn of War) Thanks.

Easycom: For running Photoshop/Flash and games I would recommend you buy the Aspire One with the Windows operating system installed as standard. That said, due to the Aspire Ones small form factor, it is not designed to have the sort of dedicated graphics card required to play demanding 3D games such as HL2/DoW - For this, you will need something bigger - such as a 5920G

1-Aug-2008 HAN LIANG: Can you send to Finland. Should I pay addition Finnish Tax ? when the item will be in stock?

Easycom: We do deliver to Finland, we would advise checking with your local customs whether you will have to pay to import the goods. We dont have a confirmed stock date just yet. If they're not here in a week then feel free to ask again!

1-Aug-2008 Eoin: I really like the look of this notebook, but am a bit hesitant about buying it. I've never really heard of Linux and would be much more interested in buying it if I could get it with XP version of the Aspire One. Is it available, where can I get a price for it? Thanks.

Easycom: There are two Aspire one models that come with XP, they are: LU.S050B.072 LU.S050B.106 If you input these codes into our search feature you will easily find what you're after

3-Aug-2008 Mancman: I've been reading that there will be integrated 3G versions available soon so that I can simply install my 3 mobile broadband SIM card. Can you tell me when these will be available please? Thanks

Easycom: We will look into this matter as we are unsure at the moment

21-Aug-2008 Rigel: I just ordered from your site an ACER aspire one 150L. Checking the Acer.com site I was under the impression that the HDD models (as the 150) have the 6cell Batt. Is that correct?

Easycom: The battery on this model is 3 cell lithium ion (approximately 3 hours of battery life)

28-Aug-2008 SJD: Few questions on the Aspire one A150L: 1.Please confirm this is 1GB RAM and 120GB HDD 2.Can I run the Microsoft Office suite of software on this PC? If not what software does it have pre-loaded (eg is there Linnux based word processor/spreadsheet software) and will this read/write MS Office documents and vice versa. 3.Can it interface with a printer? 4.Will it support ITunes for IPOD and Creative MP3 player software? Many Thanks Steve

Easycom: I can confirm this is 1GB with 120GB hdd. You can not run Microsoft Office on Linux, but this Linux version of the Aspire One comes with OpenOffice installed, which has most of the functionality of all the Microsoft Office applications, and can also read/write compatible files. It works fine with printers. Support for iTunes and MP3 software depends on the manufacturer of those devices - Please check their sites for Linux compatability. Thanks

5-Sep-2008 abc123: when will be 3G version avaiable ??

Easycom: There is no time scale.

23-Sep-2008 Kate: Can i play dvd's on this laptop

peterh: This is a netbook, and does not have an integrated CD/DVD drive (in order to save space). To play DVDs on this, you will need an external USB DVD drive.

11-Nov-2008 des: can this notebook play movies from a usb memory stick

david s: Providing you have the correct codecs in the program you are using then yes you will be able to view movies from usb

22-Nov-2008 Chris W: Can I watch internet TV from China on this machine

david s: yes

1-Dec-2008 daveface: If i purchased the Linux version of this laptop, would I be able to via USB DVD drive install my own version of windows XP? Would i have any driver/hardware issues?!

SteveF: Yes you would be able to change the OS to XP.

8-Dec-2008 Ahmed: Is the win XP version of this laptop still available?

SteveF: None in stack at the moment but watch this space as we should be getting some more in for Xmas.

13-Aug-2008 Nicholas Ball: Can you tell me if this product is identical to this one to the one listed on amazon? If so, then why does Amazon claim that it is due for release on the August 18, 2008! When you guys already have it in stock...?

Easycom: We are a major re-seller for Acer and as such we do get new stock before other retailers due to our strong relationship with the company.

16-Aug-2008 Anderscore: Will the laptops with the 6 cell batteries be available any time soon? If this is the case how much more expensive will they be?

Easycom: No dates as yet but please call our sales team who should be able to chase that up for you.

12-Sep-2008 Adam: Does it has a 120 GB mechanical HDD? Aspire one A150L has D-SUB 15pin socket for external monitor? If not - what similar model could you recommend?

Easycom: Yes it is a 120Gb mechanical hard drive and comes with the VGA socket for connecting a external monitor.

3-Nov-2007 Yoko: Is it possible to choose the 'buy now pay in November 2008' option when ordering online? Because when I proceed to check out I'm afraid to confirm as there is no pay plan choice option...

Easycom: You have to purchase an accesory to apply for any finance options.
