Acer eMachine eM350 Netbook - Review & Overview

I have one and booting it up

Anyone else still have one of these in 2022?

I love the build quality of this thing. Also the fact that it's a really small, 10.1" device, but with a real physical keyboard. It has 2 USB ports, VGA, Ethernet, mike and headphone ports, and an SD card reader, so it's well equipped I/O-wise. However, the processor is extremely weak. Don't expect to surf the web with Chrome. I run Puppy Linux on it, and use it to manage my web site, which mostly entails coding in Emacs (remotely) and doing command line tasks. For that, it's my preferred device, due to its portability. (I have also installed a new 7-9 hour battery.)

This is shit

What type of battery is used to replaced it’s original battery? Or what unit?

I have also

Its a good little netbook, works great

I have this one

Mine is windows 7 when I bought mine with a disk drive but without cover

Would i be able to remove windows and install linux onto this laptop? Is there any kind of thing blocking me from doing that? or would it work perfectly fine?

so there's no problem if I install windows XP in this laptop if I have windows 7?

how is streaming with this device?

This was my very first laptop that I own that was brand new

does it have a disc drive

how does (fn) works?

this bullshit i have too im gonna buy new it dosent plays nothing

Battlefield 3 Premium Rules!!!!!!!!!

warcraft IS shit, so realistically, shit can play on "shit"...... MW3 RULES!!!

wow thats tiny, I want one of those lol

do you know much ram can I install in this?

I also have one. But I installed win7 ultimate & Linux mint 11 (dual boot). It's good for everything but gaming since the graphic chipset is 64MB only ://

not really, no. it would lag like shit

Can i play World of Warcraft on this shit???

Does anybody know a charger that'll work for this model? A link would be great. Thanks!

is this a review wow i really know what this thing is capable of now nice review??? not...

Why is on my eMachines Laptop Linux Moblin and not Windows XP?

i watch it on the same netbook *_*

it's raj koothrappali from big bang theory!

how the hell does the 3cell bat get 8 hrs? when 6 cell get 8?

i,too have an em250,except its newer [Windows 7]

@spartan30070 Not very well. I tried it on a similar net-book and its VERY laggy and bad. If you wanna play awesome Minecraft, I suggest you get at least 2GB of RAM/memory.

would minecraft work on this netbook

@RIZZLEKYD11 NO .The EM350 is a netbook being smaller than a Laptop Computer, with a long battery life and ideal for travelling. It has a built in Wifi and is specifically designed for internet use and Email. it lacks a CD/DVD drive, but is considerably lighter than common 14" and 15.4" laptops (or notebooks).If you want to watch movies on it or do serious work ,recommend getting good headphones/external speakers and an external monitor.

your battery isnt locked

i have this netbook ionmy knees right now :D

I too can read the specs off my em350 which I have owned for 7 mths.Its a robust little sucker with discreet built in webcam & mike at top of screen.Screen OK but hard to read under bright sunlight.Left side of the keybd are two USB 2.0 ports ,an Ethernet (RJ45) port,an Ext display (VGA) port,(sadly no HDMI port) and sockets for mike and headphones.Sound is a bit tinny so use headphones.Touchpad can be fiddly. Power plug is nifty,can rotate it to 4 diff posns,but bulky.That said excellent buy

Thank you for making this review of the Acer eM350. I like it. To those who complain, make a better review yourself.

thanks for review

@UbuntuHelpGuyBlogs I know! I'm from Russia)

@soulone32 Sorry for offending you, mate. Not everyone is from USA... gosh

he talks like a gps navigator haha and seriously! check how to open it before filming!

fail at opening

whare are u fea

I got the win 7 ver for $150.It's all right, but slow as fuck.

@Raw2daBon3 Thank you! :)

Thanks for the review. To the critics: Yes, it's a basic review, but certainly more informative than the specs in my local flyer ... and multiple camera angles.

@GruvisMa1t I know this review fails.. much! lol - It runs Ubuntu quite well.

This is a shitty 'review'. You just talked about it's specification and that was it. Waste of time.

i got the win 7 one yaaaaay!xP
