Offering all the advanced features, this Acer’s Ruby Red netbook has created waves in the market. The sleek and light Aspire One AOD150-1920 is the new sensation that has attracted attention of number of customers round the globe. This good looking and smart device is the best portable internet option and the perfect on the go entertainment.

What’s in the box?

• Along with the style and decency, Aspire One AOD150-1920 combines the ergonomics required for comfortable on the go computing. The keyboard is huge enough to hold the set of keys discreetly arranged for easier and faster typing. Touchpad buttons are rightly placed below the touchpad but instead of making use of two independent buttons the developers have chosen to use one single bar for left and right click. For some it is a con but I think it’s easier to just slide your finger over the bar for left and right clicks than pressing two different buttons.
• The LCD screen with 1024×600 pixels resolution with CrystalBright technology is very much comfortable to read in various light conditions. Aspire One AOD150-1920 comes with an integrated 0.3M mega pixel (640×480) Acer Crystal Eye webcam with a microphone embedded in the screen frame for clear and more realistic video chatting. This device is perfect for using video phone or conferencing software like Skype, etc. 
• The speakers are located at the bottom of the netbook which are pretty loud and deliver a pretty decent sound quality. 
• This netbook doesn’t provide any recovery disk as such but it comes with pre installed Acer recovery utility which will generate recovery disks automatically for you. But it is recommended to run this utility as soon as you boot this device for the first time.
