can I again refer you all to www.aspireoneuser.com/forum there are lots of guides on how to do pretty much everything on there, operating systems, memory touchscreens (!)

Yeh, I looked on there but they do not seem to have the Acer One. Lots of Aspires but not the One!!! Or am I looking in the wrong place?

My son got one of these but instead of making it dual boot he completely scrubbed the file system after making sure he had all the drivers he needed or know where he could get them and then put on XP. That saved the space of having to make it dual boot.

I actually wanted it to dual boot
Call me geeky....

Hi,
I got mine delivered today from PCWorld, lovely looking machine, BUT they sent me the completely wrong model. The box says A150ab but i actually got an A110aw, so i am gutted, I was looking foward to having a play with my new toy!!
The annoying thing is they wont send me the right machine until they recieve the wrong one back, so its another 7 days of waiting(If theres any left in stock!!)

Huh? Now I'm going to open my box. :eek: Was going to leave it until the weekend.


Phew...it's the A150AB.

I know mine has a 120Gb hard disk in it but when I go to the files folder it says 101 of 109 is free. is this the same on other peoples?


Might stick with Linpus, it's fast!

There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, not 1000.

This explains it better:

Only partly true.

When dealing with disc storage, there are infact 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, and so on.

All other measures involving bytes (processing speed, network bandwidth, virtual storage etc etc) do use the 1024bytes per kilobyte.

Bonkers but true. :rolleyes:

ZG5 is the model number, and relates to the A150.
However, on the side of the box it came in, you'll find the precise product code.

for example, the two I own are:

AOA 150 - Ab
and
AOA 150 - Aw

Corresponding to blue & white respectively.
