Acer Aspire One 532h-2326 review

The Acer Aspire One ran for 7 hours and 9 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included 6-cell battery. That's excellent, but not unexpected, thanks to the very efficient new generation of Intel Atom CPUs. Still, it's among the longest-lasting 2010 Netbooks we've seen, second only to the Asus Eee PC 1005PE.

Acer includes an industry-standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Support is available via phone (not a toll-free call) or through a series of somewhat confusing Web pages, offering an online knowledge base and driver downloads. There's also an entirely separate site for Acer Aspire Netbook support at http://netbooks-us.custhelp.com/, with a list of frequently asked questions.
