Darren reviews Acer Aspire One

Really? It looks like it's currently the best price/value deal for UMPC's. Except for the various Eee models, there's only really expensive models out there.

Hehe.. i keep mentioning this:

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/219404

And in the UK PC world is known as a pretty pricey place to buy stuff.

The 4211 is a rebadged MSI Wind.

Costs a bit more that the aspire one, but not enough to break the bank.

I played with both of them, and this comes with windows, but took no time at all to load up ubuntu onto it.

I dont think i can ever get used to the mouse buttons on the Aspire One.

Weirdest part is going from this onto the macbookpro... theres so much SPACE!

QUESTION: HELPS NEEDED FROM MASTERS!!! How to SUCCESSFULLY boot into BT3 (USB) KDE GUI on Aspire ONE AOA150?

# On the Linux side I’m very pleased with its performance as well. It boots BT3 in seconds and most importantly has the horsepower behind the wireless chipset to really do some packet sniffing/injection. I benchmarked it against my ALFA (AWUS036H / Realtek 8187) running on a BT3 VM on a dual core host and it totally spanked it cracking WEP (my test AP, not my neighbors cough). I started a dump minutes after the ALFA box and a few minutes later when I stopped ‘em both the ALFA had 67,000 IVs where the Aspire One had grabbed over 177,000. (The eeePC 701 had 49,000 but I started it later. Not a perfect test)

1st of All, Apology to everyone if i make any grammar mistake coz my english is poor. A great greeting to every members here and to my favourite Hak5 host - DARREN!!! My name is D0n, i am from Malaysia (located right bsides Singapore), i was a late coming fans of Hak5 since season 2 but i managed to download all episodes from season 1 till 3, HAK5 rocks!!!! :rolleyes: .

Anyway, my purpose of writing this post is to ask a few question with regard to Booting into Backtrack 3 KDE on Aspire ONE AOA150

- I have purchased Acer Aspire ONE (or AA1) AA1 AOA150 Spec: With 160GB HD and 6-cell batteries, most importantly it has built-in Atheros AR5007EG.

- I couldn't boot into BT3 KDE GUI. I used the normal way to boot into BT3 USB as below:

1) After switch on the AA1, i choose to boot from USB Drive

2) Then, i select 'BT3 Graphics Mode (KDE)' [*In fact, i even tried Flux & VESA Mode]

3) Then, it showed message

'You passed an undefined mode number.

Press <RETURN> to see video modes available, <SPACE> to continue or wait 30 secs'

<-- Press [sPACE] -->

4) Log in as 'root', then type in 'xconf', it shows message

Trying to autoconfigure Xwindow system, please wait...

creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf...

all done. Run startx now.

5) After typing 'startx', it show error message as below

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

ISSUES:

- I realized that Acer Aspire ONE AOA150 uses 'Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GMA950' which provides resolution of 1024x600, i doubt there's no drivers integrated yet to default BT3 USB.iso.

- My model is using BIOS version 0.3301 which DOESN"T allow adjustment of video memory (*Total 1024MB, only FIXED 8MB shared out for video), may be this is the main reason of 'VideoRAM set too low?' error message

QUESTIONS:

1) There's one blog info site dedicated to provide misc info of Aspire ONE only (http://macles.blogspot.com/), the author also provides download links for BIOS version v3305 i ain't sure whether this would help me solve the problem??

2) I have searched through googling, macles blogspot, remote-exploit forum, aspireone user forum still couldn't find any stringent solution for booting into BT3 KDE on Aspire ONE AOA150.

- I have planned to do something like creating multiboot PenTest Distro LiveUSB as my personal project which may helps in my work, hopefully it could be done on AOA150 as well. Should i ever be able to complete this, i will document the 'steps by steps' and make it into a How-To tutorial related to 'Creating a Multiboot AOA150 with XP PRO, BT3 Final, HEX, DAVIX & SAMURAI installed on both local partition and SDHC'

- Myriad Apologies for putting so much of texts here, sorry for any mistake, error & foolishness statements. Please forgive me should i ever cause any problems here. :)

Last but not least....TRUST YOUR TECHNOLUST!!! B)

The hardware is solid and commonly supported. The Acer Aspire One AOA150 shares the same graphics and network chipsets as the Asus eee PC 901. This is great news if, like me, you plan to use BackTrack on the machine as a module for this hardware have already been created. wink.gif

Dear Darren,

I have a couple questions for you regarding the Acer Aspire One.

I am thinking about buying one.

But I REALLY want to be able to play Diablo 2 and Starcraft on it. Do to the fact that many of my friends still play it and I want to join in again. I just don't have the money for full blown laptop right now.

The only other things I will be using it for is school work and surfing the web. (for now, when I can get a full one I will turn this into a hackbook)

So do you think you could test it out for me?

Or have you all ready...?

Also the version I am getting has XP home, I want to wipe it and put XP Pro on it (Mainly to get rid of all the pre-installed stuff I don't need and I like having more security on something that's more out in the open). How do you think the best way to go about this would be...? (I don't know anything about the bios and what it will let me boot from) (I have a external dvd drive if that will help)

Thanks for any info you can give. Keep up the good work (I have to admit I am behind in shows, But I look forward to catching up). Take care and keep that geek knowledge flowing.

I bought my wife an acer one, and tbh, it's not a regular laptop replacement (i gotta have the 100% scale man.. I just cant hang I guess :P) and it is FRIGGIN' AWESOME! I love it, I can hardly put the thing down. And the one we have is the 160 gig.

Multitouch does work with this one, but it's kinda weird.... buggy... yeah... (reference to family guy)

But it performs awesomely. I love my laptop but looking back.. yah, I would have just got a one.

I have an Aspire One 150 (160 GB HD and 6 Cell) in white. I love it. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on it with Win XP Pro running in VirtualBox. It's kinda of a pain to get all the drivers quite right under Ubuntu, but worth the work.

I love mine, and I have been using it as my main PC for over two months now. My Condo flooded back in November I lost 9 desktops and 2 laptops. The keyboard on it is great. The only thing I wish was I had integrated bluetooth, a few more usb ports, and that I could boot off of SD.

I recently bought a Acer Aspire One with a 120 gb with win xp home for my sister and my aunt and uncle also has a Acer Aspire One with a ssd drive, they are very good netbooks, one thing though, the ones with a regular hard drive are better then the ones with a ssd drive, I have been doing the help the aunt and uncle thing with their computers lately, they have their programs installed on 8 gb sd drives instead of the ssd c drive

BTW They are very happy with them and the only advice though that I have is to get the ones with a regular hard drive
