acer netbook battery upgrade
Monday, September 6th, 2010
Im thinking of buying a…….?
Netbook
I like the acer aspire one but i havent given it much thought and aparently the battery life is poor (how much would a battery upgrade from 3 to 6 cell cost)
any opinions or advice
my budget is under £300
You’re right – the battery life is poor; if you go for the solid state drives (SSD), Acer have used slower versions than those offered by Asus. It has an 8.9″ screen. My pick at the moment would be the Samsung NC10
- it’s had great reviews and seems to be on a par with the MSI Wind (although the Samsung comes standard with a 6 cell battery whereas it’s hard to find the MSI wind in the UK with a 6 cell battery)

You’ll have to wait for the black or blue versions of this netbook; check out the review

This Acer Aspire One has a 120gb drive (it’s not a solid state drive so should be fine) and runs XP
