Compared to the original Acer Aspire One, the D250 is extremely easy to upgrade. One nice design feature in the D250 is easy access for upgrades. We detected some flexing in the LCD lid plastics and bottom of the chassis when we squeezed the D250 while holding it folded in half, but overall this is a solid little netbook. At times the reflective boarder does get on your nerves if you are in a brightly lit room with many sources of glare.īuild quality looks quite good and the construction feels strong enough to handle being tossed around inside a book bag without much concern for its safety (well apart from possible scratches to the glossy surfaces). Like the original Aspire One, the D250 uses glossy plastics on the top of the screen cover as well as around the entire LCD.

One very interesting item of note is that the D250 is actually slightly thinner than the original Acer Aspire One 150 series which used a smaller 8.9-inch screen. The Acer Aspire One D250-1165 is a low-cost version of the new D250 series netbooks and features a smaller battery and no Bluetooth in order to drop the retail price below $300.
