The Aspire One AO751h ran for 6 hours and 24 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. That's an impressive score, and one of the best we've seen for Netbooks. However, this requires a bulky extended battery that sticks out from the back of the system.
Acer includes an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line (the number is hard to find--it's 1-800-816-2237), an online knowledge base, and driver downloads. Acer seems to have taken a few steps backward, however, in its Web-based support. You'll have to navigate a confusing array of menus to find useful information (and the site keeps asking for your serial number)--although the driver downloads are laid out nicely by model number.
