Acer aspire one--part 2

 

In this post,ill be discussing the operating systems with which this netbook is available in the market and which is better for you according to your requirements.

This model has increased RAM from 512MB to 1GB and replaced a 8GB STD with a 120GB hard drive and costs only $20 more than the Linux model.this model is using Windows XP Home (Service Pack 3).and it comes with all the required softwares like McAfee Internet Security Suite, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Media Player, and Outlook Express 6.
one of the operating systems named as windows 7 is very popular in the user.I had an experience of installing Windows 7 beta release and it was a good one.its great but it takes quite more space than your windows xp home and the installation process is also quite tedious.if you want to know how to install windows 7 on your acer aspire one then click here. Here some of the screenshots of Windows 7.

Acer aspire one--Part 1

if i define this netbook in simple terms,it is:

• 
  Very inexpensive(£180)
• Reasonable features
  
  Its not one of the best netbooks available in the market but i bet you,you can never find the netbooks in that reasonable price with so good features.i will discuss all of its features in quite detail.hope u don't get bored.
  
  First and the best feature of this netbook is its DECENT KEYBOARD. Almost all the netbook manufacturers lost their head in making the keyboard of their netbooks.look at the netbooks from HP and other big names,their keyboards are so small that many people cant write large documents on them.on the other hand Acer aspire one got a very comfortable keyboard which gives you the natural feeling of input.
  The second most important feature of this netbook is thats it ULTRA-PORTABLE.it is so small that you can carry it anywhere you want.its not only about its size but also its weight,it just weighs 2.2 lbs.so carrying it while shopping or on picnic will never bother you.
  
  3 USB ports and 2 SD-CARD slots make it very powerful for work environment.Builtin 3G and WIMAX,but it depends upon from where you bought it,some of the products include it some don't.ACER ASPIRE ONE has many models.im talking here about the features which most of them include,i personally have A110L which has SSD type storage and its capacity is 8GB,but with 2 expansion slots available it doesn't bother me.it has a RAM of 512 MB which i feel sometimes,is not enough for some of the applications.most of the models has 1.6 GHZ intel ATOM processor with which im quite satisfied.
  
  10.1 in (26 cm), 8.9 in (23 cm) 1024×600 LCD.i have the latter and is quite comfortable for me.0.3 MP Suyin buitin webcam is also included.
  
  Now lets get back to reality.why is it so cheap while having so many features?.well what i found was two reasons apart from the processor and RAM and SSD capacity which are quite suitable if not very great.Those two things are
• 
  Terrible touchpad and mouse buttons
• Battery life

                         The tiny touchpad and mouse buttons(on a flimsy rocker ball) are very painful to use.You need to really press it hard to make it work.i found it so irritating that i had to buy a separate USB mouse to cope with my work.

The other setback of this netbook is its small battery life.my netbook model ihas 3-cell: 2.200 Ah battery which doesn't give me more than 2 hours back-up time.but you can have a large sized battery of 6-cells to have more than 5 hours back-up time which is great.

in the part 2,i will discuss its operating systems and the comparison of acer spire one with the other netbooks.hope you enjoyed this post.

Science,Engineering and Technology

Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having
relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later
you are reduced to a factor.
~Ellen Goodman, "

Throughout global history, human have ability to take knowledge of using tools and machines to do any
tasks efficiently and discover new methods to improve their lives.Science and technology has always
been around from the begining of time ...........................t evolves from the everyday efforts of people trying to
improve their way of life ...As it becomes evident from historical observations, research
was creation of the curiosity which is caused by the human nature.. Throught out the history humankind
has developed and utilized tools , machines and tecniques...

Definations have been given for Science , enineering and technology
because they are all different in their own rite even though the three are almost indistinguishable ...

The distinction between science, engineering and technology is not always clear. Science is the reasoned
investigation or study of phenomena, aimed at discovering enduring principles among elements of the phenomenal
world by employing formal techniques such as the scientific method. Technologies are not usually
exclusively products of science, because they have to satisfy requirements such as utility, usability and safety.

Engineering is the goal-oriented process of designing and making tools and systems to exploit natural
phenomena for practical human means, often (but not always) using results and techniques from science.
The development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge, including scientific, engineering,
mathematical, linguistic, and historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.
We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later
this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

So do you think technology is a prescription for disaster ????
