Acer Aspire One D255: Double the Core, Double the OS

Conclusions

If you’re looking for a compact mobile device that is able to both handle basic computing tasks and fit easily into your bag, the Acer Aspire One D255 is a good choice. It has all the essentials plus a new, dual-core processor and two different operating systems. Its Android OS allows you to use the netbook quickly, while the Windows 7 operating system serves as Aspire One D255’s main working environment where you can get your job done. We also like the simple adaptor unit, which will only add up to your overall load by a tiny bit.

Pros

• Dual OS (Windows 7 Starter and Android 1.6)
• Thin physical profile
• Simple and lightweight adaptor

Cons

• Unified hardware cover makes it difficult to access components
