I had an HP mini 1137NR that cause me many problems (there was not video output - I need to buy an extra cable; the LCD has broken after 1 year and there was not HP support outside USA)
I decided to buy a new netbook instead fix my HP (the price would be similar). I bought this Acer because it has 1.83 GHz Intel Atom N475 processor (the latest processor available in intel site for netbooks)
In comparison to my HP:
- Operational system:
Acer: windows 7 starter
HP: windows XP
I think that XP is faster when I use a program but windows 7 is faster to initiate.
- Keyboard
Acer and HP are very good, the acer is a little better
- Touchpad
Multi-Gesture Touchpad in acer is good but the quality of touch in HP is better
- Screen
I think that Acer has a better quality than HP; videos have better quality in my acer
- Processor:
Acer: 1.83 GHz Intel Atom N475 processor
HP: 1.6 Ghz Intel Atom N270 processor
- RAM Memory - 1 GB in both, but Acer is DDR3 and HP is DDR2. There was not information about upgrade memory in Acer site, neither in manual product.
- Acer has more USB ports (3 versus 2)
- Acer has a memory card reader that accept more types of cards
- Speakers are weak in both netbooks
I am very happy with this acer and I recommended it. In this moment I think that just 1 GB of ram is ok for my needs (internet browsing, skype, Office documents, videos - I could see DVD movies on my external samsung DVD recorder without problems). I use this netbook all the time and I am using my desktop just for downloads in Ares.

I own two of these netbooks. So far I am very satisfied with their performance. I bought them with the intention of upgrading to W7 Professional, increasing the RAM to 2GB and the HDD to 500GB. I have been successful on both of them without too much trouble. The biggest trick is the RAM. There is only 1 RAM slot. Upgrading to 2GB requires buying a 2GB SO DIMM to replace the 1 GB that is installed...AND IT NEEDS TO BE EXACTLY THE RIGHT TYPE. I tried Patriot and Kingston without success. Then I ordered the memory recommended by Crucial on their website. Removing the keyboard is pretty much like any laptop. Find the retainers (above the F4 and the INS/DEL key on the 533), push them in and leverage the keyboard up with a credit card or similar device. Then there are two screws marked (1). Remove those two screws and then (and this is a little different)... push a screwdriver into the hole labeled (2) and gently apply pressure to pop off the back. RAM and HDD replacement are pretty straight forward. Assembly is the reverse. I have seen at least one good video on You Tube (that is what clued me in to the memory issue). All in all, no complaints. Great little machines for use on our home network, email readers, internet surfers and controllers for our Sonos Multizone Music system.

small, light, battery lasts long (most of the time more than 6 hours)
it's not fast, but good enough for receiving and sending emails, simple browsing
good price!

This model is sold with 1GB of DDR3 RAM. It is NOT upgradable to 2GB. I just had an exchange of email with ACER, and Their answer is that:" yes this is a limitation, and you should have known about it. This computer is only meant to to run Win 7 Starter."
It does not matter that it is delivered with "Windows Upgrade Anywhere."
So, given the current trend of all software to needing a lot of memory, I would not recommend this model.
And I would not recommend ACER, given their service or lack thereof. And misleading product description.
Upgrade capabilities are VERY important criteria.
