Conclusion:

We find Acer Aspire One D250 after our test runs and usage at good mark. With Intel® Atom™ Processor and 1GB of memory it is fine to run your usual multimedia or Ms Office applications but too much multitasking of application makes it slower. Upgrade of memory from 1GB to 2 GB can make a difference in speed. Acer Aspire One D250 display is good and screen brightness is better than most of the similar notebooks available but visibility in bright lights areas are a bit problem at times. We like the Keyboard as Acer Aspire One D250 is very comfortable to and strong build even heavy taping on the keys won’t make any damage. Batter life is not much with the 3 cell battery but 6 cell batter is also available and makes your backup more than double. We give Acer Aspire One D250 rating 7 out of 10.
