I had one of these that I got for just taking notes, doing research, and typing papers when I was taking some college classes. It worked just fine for that. I never considered gaming with it. I will say, though, when one of our employees at my job spilled a large Starbucks on our work laptop, I pulled this out and we were able to run everything that we needed for the business for a couple of days on it. So it was a little bit more capable than I even thought it was.
Hey, yeah, it seems like a perfect machine to take notes on back in the day. And, if you consider its limitations, you can actually run some games on it. Cheers! 🤟
I've one of these myself and I absolutely adore it's form factor but the Intel Atom CPU was and is just a trainwreck. Back then I always hoped that some manufacturer would make one of these with a half decent Core2Duo CPU.
@@belairrbx That’s cool! I find these tiny ones quite fascinating, I wouldn’t mind taking a look at some from different manufacturers. Thanks for commenting! 🤘
Oh my goodness, my best friend has an older "tiny laptop" and I just texted him to confirm it was an Acer Netbook, and it is! His is a bit newer though, but he can't remember what year it is lol. It has a really funny little mouse, which is attached to a very thin retractable cord! The glare on the screen on your netbook was pretty bad actually lol. I agree though about how handy it is to have all those ports on the sides is great! 😊
I have something very simillar to this. It's a Samsung NC110 from 2011, possibly one of the last atom netbooks. The thing is, even though it still tops out at 2gb ram, the intel atom n455 cpu in it is 64bit. Windows XP and archlinux or debian with XFCE runs on it well (both had some hesitation for wifi to get working)
Hey, thanks for commenting! Wow, 2011 really does seem kinda late for an Atom netbook, they could’ve put an C2D in it at that point. But the whole category of netbooks/ultra portables is really fascinating by itself. If I get my hand on some other models, I’d be interested to test them as well. Cheers! 🤘
@@schvabek The only C2D netbook that I know exists and I had is the Acer Travelmate 6293. Like any high-power acer, it died out of the blue, screen comes on for a split second and goes away. Thats a firmware problem.
I have a similar Asus eee 1005pe, slightly newer CPU (Atom n450) with better graphics. I have upgraded it to 2GB or RAM and 60GB SSD and Linux MInt 19 works just fine. Still havent tried any games, but for general use, its OK. I think that LCD is literally the same model, applying the anti-glare film was one the first things i did with it.
@@fradd182 Hey, man, thanks for commenting! Oh yeah, those eee things are also fascinating! I’d like to take a look at one. I thought about upgrading this thing, but honestly I kinda think the processor is the bottleneck in this case, and I also just wanted to see how the stock machine preformed. And if I had to spend any time at all using this machine for “real” work, I’d definitely install an anti glare coating/film of some sort. Cheers! 🤘
@@schvabek I feel that RAM is the main limitation of these atom-based netbooks. I even purchased intel- compatible 4GB so-dimm module (they are scarce and pretty expensive unlike their AMD counterparts) to no avail, machine would not boot. If you plan any modern Linux distro for your Aspire, pick some Chrome-based browser, its much better for weak CPUs than firefox.
В командировки ранньше ездил с похожим (проходил старые игрушки и фильмы\сериалы смотрел. На ХДД он реально овощ был, но как поставил ссд, то поживее стало. Атомы это овощи реальные, чисто печатные машинки, как они и позиционировались. Да и ведоядро чисто затычка для вывода буков), потом поменял на ноут с рязанью 2200ю, а потом купил себе стим дэк и кайфую. Попробуй найти потом тонкий клиент, некоторые прям топ машины для дос/вин хр игры нативно. Почему рокет-джампом за армором не залетел?
@@ro1934 Я-то думал устроить ССД и побольше рама, но на мой взгляд тут как раз процессор потолок. И мне было интересно, какого результата можно добиться на обычной конфигурации.

@@thethriftyfawn Hah, that’s quite a neat coincidence! Yeah, the glare is awful, but at least I did get a chance to goof out in the reflection 😂
