8-May-2009 Ger McCoy: Can this netbook be ordered with bluetooth?

SteveF: Sorry, we can't upgrade the units apart from ram. You can get a separate dongle though which will do the trick.

16-May-2009 StormCraft: Is it at all possible a Firewire port be installed - or some other way of importing media? Just wondering what the graphics are like to - if it has a GFX card etc? Does anything need to be bought seperatly to connect with WI-FI? & is P&P free / if not how much? Thanks for your help. :)

SteveF: This is netbook and as such, is really good for browsing the internet, downloading and using office but anything graphics wise will be a struggle as to keep weight down and battery life up means there had to be some sacrifices and that would be in the area of graphics and a dvd drive. So if you are wanting to transfer videos over for editing or something similar, the netbook will struggle, you'll need a fully fledged laptop for that.

17-May-2009 Eric N: Will this laptop work well with BBC iplayer? Will the cpu and graphics be capable of running I Player without any problems?

SteveF: Yes.

19-Jun-2009 Ozzie: Can you tell the estimate arriving date for this to your stocks; as i have limited time here in london. Regards

SteveF: They are now in stock.

27-Aug-2009 Trishanna: considering most software programs such as Photoshop, 3Ds max etc are mostly windows xp and mac compatible, could they be installed on a linux OS and work properly or would i have to have to replace Linux with XP? also can you purchase an extra battery to replace when the other runs out? thank you

SteveF: Yes you can buy an extra battery but if you're thinking of using this netbook for software such as Photoshop, I wouldn't. These netbooks are really good for browsing the internet, downloading music and using office but the processor won't handle complex programs.

2-Sep-2009 c1iv3: if i upgrade the laptop to 1.5gb of ram, will windows 7 work on it? is this laptop damaged or it is new? if it is damaged, what type of damages it has? thank you

SteveF: You'll need to check with microsoft on the windows 7 question. I believe they are bringing out a lite version which will work on netbooks and so increasing the ram doesn't matter. Grade A1 is a box opened as new product.

8-Sep-2009 Alan Fawcett: i nticed in the description it says this system won't work with mobile BB, i brought this acer from you earlier this year and i am actually typing this and sending it via an O2 mobile dongle so good news is it will work

SteveF: There was a driver for using the dongle put onto the website a couple of months ago. It looks like that model has already had it downloaded.

9-Sep-2009 peetaz: basically need to be sure this product will allow me to send and receive emails,surf the internet and allow me to produce a document for attaching to email - is this in its capabilities ?

SteveF: Yes.

20-Sep-2009 rachael: hi, i am wanting to buy this netbook for my son so he can go on childrens websites and play games for example the disney website. i noticed that you said graphics are limited will he be able to play on games on the disney website? and also is the laptop damaged or as new? one last question what is the difference between this blue laptop Grade A1 Acer Aspire one A150L - 120GB -1GB - Blue and the other blue laptop Grade A1 Acer Aspire ONE A150-Bb - Atom N270 1.6 GHz at 189.97 as they both have the same memory and hard drive and things? please can you let me know thank you, i look forward to hearing from you

SteveK: It is a little limited both in the graphics department and the on board RAM, however it would work with the CBBC website, but probably not too well with other games, Simms etc It is probably worth giving the Sales team a call, they can guide you, don't worry they don't bite, 08719710005

27-Sep-2009 ert: Hi, How do I recover or reinstall the OS? Do I need a CD reader for OS re-installation?

SteveF: You'll need to get an external dvd drive to make and reinstall a recovery disc.

17-Oct-2009 Dave B: Hi, could you please tell me if this laptop comes with any kind of cover or slipcase? Thanks for your help.

SteveK: No these are basically brand new, with only damaged boxes. We are just trying to clear stock, hence the incredibly low price. We do sell bags and slips separately, I have just seen one come in with a free mouse. Call our sales line they will be able to help you out.

18-Nov-2009 Yaser: can i replace the battery from a 3 cell to a 6 cell battery, also can you install windows XP on it and will the laptop come with the driver cd
