Author: I’m planning on buying the Acer One A110AB netbook but I don’t know if it would actually be any good for me? I really only want it for MSN every now and then. I’ve read a few reviews on it and everybody says the battery life is pathetic and it’s easier to buy a new battery so I was wondering how much a better battery would cost? (GBP) I’ve also noticed several people comment about MSN not downloading but I found a question on here that gave me an answer to solve this problem.
I’m a 13 year old girl so do you think this netbook would be suitable for me as it’s within my price range and I just want something for the internet?
My budget is £200

It looks okay for what you would be interested in but just make sure when you purchase it that it does come with Windows XP installed.
The ones I have seen all come with Linux operating system (which is an alternative to Windows XP). It definately would not be able to run Vista.
A new battery for this would cost you in the region of 50-70 GBP so it seems quite steep when compared to the cost of the actual Netbook.
If I were you I’d probably go with something different. What about an Asus Eeee-PC for example?
You might be able to get yourself a fairly basic laptop for around £300 GBP so it might even be worth looking at a Toshiba, slightly less portable than a netbook but far more functional IMHO.

I would take a look at the Acer offerings. I understand you can buy a battery upgrade that is supposed to last up to 10 hours.

A friend of mine has just got a Samsung netbook (not sure which model) it has an 8 hour battery life and runs windows XP so no problem with MSN. Its brilliant.
