Top issues of the Acer Aspire One

From year and a half From working from an Acer Aspire One, doing CAD / GIS at the training level, posting, some graphic design and browsing, here I summarize the most important. I had discussed four problems in detail, but now I summarize about four more and analyze whether it makes sense or not to continue insisting.

Main problems and solutions

1. The audio It clings to this I spoke some day, and among the comments we had a whole range of thanks, analysis, puffs and profanity. It seems to be a common problem, but it is solved.acer Of course, it is not to listen in high volume; If you want to connect to an external DVD and with a large screen to watch the episodes of Gray's Anathomy It is best to put some external speakers.

2. Problems with Skype or Whatsapp, although It seemed to be an antivirus issue, I did not have problems again. Overall for web connectivity, online video, and browsing it's great.

3. The keyboardJust mentioned A problem with a key, but the layout of the 105 keys on these machines is definitely pretty bad. The way they are built, with a fluttering eyelash over an irreverent button, means that anything from the nail of the little finger to hard mucus can creep in and make a key no longer work. It is curious that in support businesses people go more for the keyboard problem than for any other reason, with 300 dollars lowering their brow, the toy under their arm and a slogan against this server that recommended them to them. Solving the key was not easy for me, and I think that other less computerized people would have to resort to support. Oops! Sorry 🙁

4. Do not send to Datashow. That was for To be naughty with msconfig, but the first few times people always have a problem with waiting for the shipping panel to pop up, used to the traditional way of other notebooks. Besides, it can happen that at some point it stops transmitting, not much happens but usually after being connected to the external monitor or projector, having many programs open or something like that, it is a matter of lack of memory to continue transmitting. In that case, there is no other option than to restart, but of course, the button to send to Data is pressed twice to access the laptop screen and turn off programs to restart.

5. The battery does not load. This I have heard a lot, in many cases it seems to find no salvageable reason and it happens when the warranty has expired. It happened to me once, but removing the battery and putting it back in solved it.

Generally by folding it as if it were nacatamal in the backpack, by a jerk from a child passing by or by running over it with the wheels of the chair.

7. Problems with drivers. This happens only to the innocent, because when they have some instability in Windows they send it to a naughty technician to format it, and in the end he makes it useless telling them that it has no drivers, that it does not have a CD Rom, that it is useless. But it is not necessary to go there, the system at boot has an option with F10 to return to a stable version, and no formatting is necessary.

8. The numbers they cross. This happens when we start it from time to time -More time than when-. It happens that when entering the Internet in the mail access panel, because autocomplete is configured, we select the user and when trying to write the Password of which we only see the asterisks sends us the message that is wrong. We try, ad nauseam and unless we try to write elsewhere, for example google We landed that the number function is activated since the result is g66g3e. For this, just by pressing Fn + F11 we deactivate it, but it should not activate itself.

Although I have known of those who have lost access to their mail for abusing failed attempts and even have quarreled with the cousin geek Believing them Cracked el Password.

Needless to say, for the health of the eyes, this is not a team to work long hours, because the eyes are overworked. It is recommended for travel, and at home to connect to a larger monitor. Also, just the area where the wrists are placed is a part of the laptop that heats up, which can affect whether after several hours of working you are going to wash yourself with cold water or grab an ice-cold soda ... let's not be fatalistic, but if you do. Repeat a long time is like washing your hands after ironing clothes.

And what?

Honestly, to be such a team wretched, Having 8 so serious problems makes one think whether it is worth buying one or better to return to a notebook like this Lapiztop or a PDA. But here are my recommendations from the positive point of view after a year and a half and I'm still happy with the toy… despite having two creatures that use it for an hour a day just to be taking care of their farmville and seeing the next day's homework.

1. It is a personal tool.

By this I mean, it is for personal use.

Do not give her or your girlfriend who will only use it to watch videos from Youtube, or your friend who takes the snot and leaves them there, or your boss who only learned to roll cables like ponies, not much Less your son who will give hard to the keyboard playing Mengaman X8.

It is for personal use, if you take care, if you have a stable antivirus, if you are not getting things pirated, it works.

2. It is a notebook, not an anvil.

Imagen 074 The concept of Netbook is a computer that replaces a notebook, which frees you from walking that heavy Toshiba In the back, that one day will cost you a lumbar injury or that you will be robbed in the street because no more way to carry it than in a laptop bag.

So don't expect to do wonders it isn't made for. Even with everything, I have managed to mount Corel Draw to do pirouettes, Microstation to work maps, AutoDesk Civil3D 2008 for posting exercises and it works. Even ArcGIS 9.3 works fine for “Of notebook", That is, to see, edit, print, learn. Not to work seriously because the monitor size will cost you half a retina over time.

If you want to work seriously, then buy a 23 flat monitor ", those that are now cheap and you can work quietly in the office, or on the nights you drink it says there is Sock.

3. It's only worth $ 300.

It would be the last straw if we wanted something more for just $ 300 that it costs. If you have complaints, they are valid for Acer to strive to improve this product in a couple of years.

But if you want wonders, buy yourself a real kit. This is a toy that does more than you would with a PDA, much more than you would with an I-pad, and surely a lot more than with a twenty-dollar notebook.

  1. Very good article, another problem is that it will last very little if you are changing operating systems, I went from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8, then to Windows 10 pro... here it lasted 3 months no more than the I bought and from one moment to another the System collapsed and now it no longer allows the operating system to be installed, it stays at the logo and the half-moon circle.

  2. I have a Do Aspire One 722, which has worked great for me. Yesterday, when I turned it off, a warning came out saying “do not turn off or disconnect the equipment. Installing update 1 of 1″.
    It's been over twelve hours and it's still on. Does not allow shutdown, even when I have tried several times. I removed the power cable, but as it brings the integrated battery, I do not know what to do, it stays the same.
    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ?

  3. Even though an Apple smartphone can charge you $ 499 for 16
    Gigabytes WiFi, the iPed was offered to invest on the web when considering just $ 149 Usd.

    Some features are restricted due to successfully the
    fact that a person's iPad is a pc tablet computer.

  4. Good morning, I have an acer aspire one 722, and I can not do that I independently reconfigure two monitors.

    Could you help me?

  5. Indeed, I recommend this for value / price DELL STUDIO 17 CoreTM i7 Intel quad-core optional. The processor is the most advanced, the screen is huge, has keypad ... Ideal for CAD-GIS-IANO. Perhaps the only but is that it weighs more than normal. What AcerUusario says simply disables the TouchPad or reinstall a suitable driver for the keyboard.

  6. Hi Federico In fact, I had taken a break, but I'm back.

    AcerUsuario. I did not mention it, but you're right, the mouse panel is clogged with fingers and makes disasters in their approaching functions. You have to take practice.

  7. Not to mention how the keyboard fails when you type, in me the pointer almost jumps… it's unbearable !!

  8. Good to see again in my reader that you are writing.
    A huge greeting from this cold in Bogota.

    My girlfriend has a netbook, and before we bought it we made a balance between several brands and we were left with a Dell Mini. It's an excellent team, and I managed to convince Ubuntu to install it.
    I have not been with this OS for a long time (a little over a year) and it's very good. I agree with the last thing you say, it's for personal things. Also this netbook (The Dell) seems better finished and with Ubuntu I found an excellent combination.
    It is amazing to install ArcGIS and CAD on these computers, but the mere fact of imagining it gives me something, hehehe

    Greetings and I recommend the Dell, it has turned out excellent, sorry ... My girlfriend has turned out excellent.
