Acer were one of the first to get on the netbook train with their Acer Aspire One AA0 that we tested some 18 months ago. As time has gone on they have expanded the range and here we have the D250 which is a dual booting version - in this particular cas...
Whilst you could argue that the speed of boot and potential lower power consumption justify Android's presence on this dual boot system. Personally I don't think that the version of Android installed here is quite mature enough, and it's UI certainly...

Product Code: LUS670D063 The Acer Aspire One D250 is a netbook running the Google Android operating system. But it's very much a supplement to Windows rather than as an environment you could live and work in. Google Android pre-installed on an Acer...
This new version of the Acer Aspire One D250 with Windows 7 and Android is around £280 – or you can find the first Windows XP version for £199. Put kindly, we’d say that Acer's Android-on-a-netbook project is work in progress rig...

Installing a second operating system on a PC is nothing new. Plenty of manufacturers have done so before, building a slimline Linux distro into their machines to provide a much more rapid start-up than Windows can manage: full access to the internet wi...
We were hoping for so much more. Android on phones is a powerful, highly customisable OS with a growing selection of third-party apps. On Acer's dual-OS Aspire One D250, it's just a basic front-end for quick web, and music and photo media access...

Judged on its own, the Aspire One is a decent netbook, with a great screen, and with a 6-cell battery as standard, it offers reasonable battery life. However, Android proves to be a somewhat disappointing experience, while Windows 7 feels a tad sluggis...

The first time we laid our hands on Acer's Aspire One D250, we were quietly impressed. A slimline netbook with some nice design touches, it was only the stiff competition that left it floundering. Now, however, the D250 can lay claim to one feat none o...

If Acer's D150 is too chunky and lacking in sex appeal, then take a peek at its slimline Aspire One D250. Weighing in at just 1.06kg, it even rivals Asus' 1008HA Seashell in the weight stakes. It doesn't, however, give the Seashell much to worry about...
The Acer is well specified, but the small battery and tough competition prove too much...

The Acer Aspire One D250 is an extremely portable machine. Not only is it one of the thinnest netbooks weve seen but, for a system boasting a 10.1-inch screen, its also very light. Weighing just 1kg, this a great netbook for frequent travellers. As w...

Theres no doubt that the D250 is a step forward compared to the original Aspire One. We were, however, hoping for more of a leap forward from Acer. Yes, the use of Intels latest N280 CPU and the excellent screen are both plus points, and its priced...

This summer’s must-have for every self-respecting web user has to be a netbook. These cut-down laptops don’t have the size or specification of their bigger counterparts, but they’re small, light, cute and convenient to carry around. FeaturesThe two thi...
Typing is an issue on all netbooks – the smaller keyboard size means you’re cramping up your fingers and this particular model could do with increasing the size of the lowered section in front of the space bar. The rest of it is near perfect t...

Mini-notebook screen sizes have been creeping up ever since the 7in Asus Eee PC launched in 2008. Now 10in screens are the norm, and that's exactly what you'll find on the Aspire One D250.Something we noticed straight away was that the display coped ex...

Acer made a significant impact on the netbook market last year with its hugely popular Aspire One A110. It recently released a selection of new netbooks in its Aspire One range, and the D250 we have here is bizarrely similar to the D150, which was only...
Usability is paramount when it comes to netbooks, and given the updated keyboard found on Acers Aspire One 751 its hard not to feel a little hard done by that the company has opted to use the old Aspire One A110 keyboard on the D250. The new machine...

Verdict: The inclusion of Android is ultimately disappointing, and otherwise the D250 is just another netbook. Acer's newest Aspire One netbook is the first computer we've seen that runs Android, Google's mobile operating system. It also comes with...

Netbooks have always come preloaded with an alternative to the dominant operating system on larger, more powerful computers. In the case of modern netbooks, this has tended to be Windows 7 Starter which has fewer features than the other, more capable...
There's little point in buying the Aspire One to use Android which isn't of much use on a netbook for most people. However, when used with Windows 7, the Aspire One is generally a pleasure to use thanks to its long battery life and responsive, comforta...

The Acer Aspire One D250 takes a standard netbook spec machine and adds the Android operating system into the mix. You get an Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive, and Android deployed in the same way that Asus and Sony (to...

Overall Android is an interesting addition, but not one that is very compelling. With the browser not returning a solid performance, we'd be tempted just to let Windows 7 boot, in which case you can ignore this edition of the netbook altogetherKey spe...

After all the testing is done and my time with the Acer Aspire One D250 is over, I can sum up my thoughts about the machine in one word – meh! - There is nothing in particular that is wrong with the D250. It works well and offers everything that you...
