See all models

The new Acer Aspire One models come with a standard one-year parts and labor warranty, which can be extended to three years with the Acer Advantage service (about $90 to $100 for two years' extension online). The toll-free 24-7 support number is 1-800-816-2237, and software and drivers can be found on Acer's site, with a little hunting around.
