Acer Aspire One Happy or a netbook with android

Netbook with android. But not in this salt.

When, not so long ago, for some reason, the concept of “netbook” sprang from laptops, as if showing similarities with a laptop on the one hand and focus on networking, on the other, manufacturers rushed to rivet them one by one. It is difficult to find something outstanding in this stream. Sometimes - there are such instances that are made not only "so that it was."

Acer Aspire One Happy stands out with two things.

First: design.

The second: two operating systems (Windows 7 Primary and Android OS).

As in my opinion - absolutely nothing outstanding. Even ashamed of 1GB of RAM.

But the kid is catching. It clings to appearance.



My wife said the first thing about the netbook - "he is so green!". And the truth: a bright, eye-catching design.



Glossy cover and screen, but the main unit is matte, the bottom is matte, covered with a monolithic cover.



')

I will not go into much detail simply because this netbook should be chosen not by what is inside and what is outside.



However, the question arises: why a beautiful laptop "geek" android inside?

This is another netbook sales channel.

By the way, about the Android OS. Reliably I did not manage to learn the version, but obviously from the 2.x family - live wallpapers are supported.

The very work with Android did not give me pleasure.

Judge for yourself: you are holding a new netbook in your hands, turning on the “same android”, but you will not do anything worthwhile in it until ... boot into Windows and set up your Google account there.

Further, the browser is a Linux firefox. With all that it implies. No mobile interface, unfortunately. Bulky (forgive me lovers of firefox).

Android Market is not. There is a gmail (which opens a browser with the gmail web version), you can install games and programs by manually downloading them from the Internet. But you need to know where to download, you have to be almost a pirate (after all, it is not recommended to install applications from APK files), and you can also catch a virus (yes, they already have android).

What good is a netbook on Android? The fact that it is loaded in seconds.

I remember that Asus instead of android is ExpressGate, Acer now has Android.

For me - both solutions - urgently check your mail and listen to the song. Work in them does not work.

But externally, the device attracts. In the closed state, the netbook is very thin (23mm in the thickest part, not counting the battery, which protrudes 5 mm). Facets clear.



Design - solid 5.

The build is classically good 4 (the lid creaks in my sample)

Iron usability is the top five. everything is at hand, even the malicious sign of the dollar and the euro from the arrows removed. The charger is small, single module (adapter-power supply to the outlet and from it one wire).

Usability in terms of programs is 4- (because Win7 is good, and Android is useless).



Still, the netbook experience is extremely good. I think he will be a good helper every day to anyone - both a fashionable girl, a student, a sysadmin, and a business person who is bored with black plastic around.
