In October to start in early 2700 yuan a blue Acer Aspire One (AOA150-Ab, hereinafter referred to as One), the standard configuration is 512Mb of memory and 120Gb hard drive, but because Acer shipping error, configure the 160Gb hard drive, very value for money!. .
The first part of the first impression One.
One network, many on the introduction and evaluation, not to say, please appreciate the upgrade in front of a small One:. .
Linpus Linux Lite pre-installed, the first time, set language, password, time zone after the restart, go to simple home screen, including the "connection" and "work" and "entertainment" and "file" four plate, in addition to the "settings" and "help". The pre-installed system easy to use, you can easily complete the various tasks.
Recommendable point, One can expand SD card as storage space, this function 8Gb SSD version on the use of more practical number. .
The second part to One extended memory.
In order to run XP, so I want to give this station a "low ticket" One plus memory. Acer's technical support said that this machine can not add memory, I used EVEREST to see free memory slots, so to buy two DDR2 667 Buynow the SODIMM, GeIL Kingston 1Gb and 2Gb. .
Be prepared before you install the tool, including the size of the two cross flower head screwdriver, a card, a bottle of 502 glue, several cups (to put it down screws), of course, be prepared to very careful attention to all of the following! movements require gentle, do not enable brute force.
The first step, won the battery, removed the back of the eight screws One. Different length screws, the installation will not install the wrong time. Dismantling the battery when the following three short screws to hold tightly as possible to open a twist. (I have removed these screws because the screwdriver is not suitable, the results of the cross slot screws at the top of the destruction, and later for a large screwdriver to get it.). .
The second step, remove the keyboard, using the card, gently press down on the corner of F2, F8, Pause Break keys below the small card (don't forget to Enter and the location of the CapsLock key is also available), you can secure the keyboard. (This process to be careful, I removed the second One is too hard, causing small card is pushed in, the keyboard will not eject suppress keyboard!).
The third step, unplug the keyboard cable. (Gently press and hold the keyboard cable withheld black bead wire can be won! Split second, I only discovered this One, the first One of the bead was removed I came, in the recovery is struggled!). .
The fourth step, the next figure of six screws (far right to the small screwdriver); push up the Touchpad on the connector and remove the Touchpad of the bead wire; then, along with the card on the corner of One of the side, front, the other side of the slit, gently pull the cover down, you can see the motherboard!.
The fifth step, removed the three screws on the right motherboard; removed fixed wireless network card a screw, unplug the wireless card; unplug speaker wire; attention to the left of wireless cards on the motherboard there one screw. Do not touch the LCD, cables, and do not move to other places screws. On the motherboard can be seen four weeks of on-board memory particles. .
Step 6: from the far side of the screen, gently shake the motherboard and the motherboard. Gentle, actions must take note of the LCD cable!..
Step Seven: After the board erected, at last, today's hero - the memory slot!. .
The eighth step: plug in the memory, do not worry. Connected to the battery, and then press the Board the power switch on the upper right corner, check whether the normal power. Tested, 2 GB of memory. It is also easy to understand: 945GSE chipset supports single channel DDR2 memory, maximum 533Mhz only supports 2Gb. One is memory 512Mb onboard, so the provided memory slot can only use 1 GB of memory. (Online Lenovo S9/10 and MSI U100 has 512 MB of onboard memory. ） 。.
The ninth step, to increase the memory to work, follow the reverse order to restore. After the upgrade the BIOS and Linux systems can see changes in memory. .
The third part of the BIOS update.
At www. . Aspireoneuser. . Com, there is a message that some users were introduced to upgrade the memory used by brand and model, most of the brands of DDR2 800Mhz/667Mhz/533Mhz can normally use, such as A-Data, PNY, Kingston, Transcend, Hynix, Samsung , Buffalo, OCZ, CEIX, AENEON, Micron, Infineon and other.However, some people experience some brands of memory is not in working condition, including Apacer, OCZ, Corsair, Kingston, after the BIOS upgrade is available. Therefore, this article describes how One BIOS upgrade.
One use of Insyde (Department of Micro-Taiwan) and H20 of the BIOS (actually should be called the EFI-Extensible Firmware Interface, Intel launched from a PC in the next class of computer system instead of the traditional BIOS upgrade program) the original version of 3301. .
Acer Continental Web sites do not provide BIOS download. Acer Europe Web site at (http://support. .acer-euro. .com/drivers/notebook/as_one_150. .html) and Taiwan website (http://www. .tw .acer. .com.) download the BIOS 3304 (be careful to select the Aspire One 150). Acer Japan can download the latest 3305's BIOS (http://www.. Acer.. Com. .jp/one/file/ZG5_3305.. Zip, case sensitive). .
A BIOS update for DOS and Windows Forms. In Europe and Taiwan website only offers DOS BIOS updates, you need to use USBBOOT1. .7 will u make a boot disk (own test USB ZIP or USB HDD can start One) 3304 files are copied to the root directory of a USB drive. When you press F12 enter boot Boot Menu, select USB HDD after booting into DOS interface, you can run, .bat 3304. upgrading the system to automatically restart.
Also in Japan, Acer provides a Windows interface, Web site under the BIOS update tool (http://www.. Acer.. Co. .jp / One / file / Winflash.. Zip), need to be 3305's BIOS file to the same folder, run InsydeFlash. . Exe can. .
The fourth part of the trial of One's feelings.
Some time ago to help my colleagues bought two ASUS Eeepc 1000H, while Lenovo also bainaohui seen S9/10, MSI Wind U100, and other brands Netbook, here to do some comparative One and 1000H use the experience (please do not mind me to compare two different sized Netbook, want to hesitate between these two people have reference.). .
1. Price, the more reasonable One. Upgrade memory after One price is $ 2815, Taobao has One of the 6-cell 5200mAh battery for sale price is $ 63, so less than the price of the 1000H purchased one monitor, memory, battery, and hard drives are more dominant than 1000H Ben.
2. . Workmanship, One and the 1000H's work than any other I have seen little of the work to be good, but it One more refinement, after all Acer notebooks do spend more time. .
3. The use of hardware because there is a feeling, LED backlight and mirror monitor, One looks far beyond the 1000H; One touch of the keyboard is better, especially keyboard layout, the right Shift key and the keys do not have that? the up arrow key, and so more able to meet the needs of mangda. But 1000H screen size and keyboard size more dominant. Because the standard configuration of the battery capacity, I normally use Office and network of 1000H work 5 hours 38 minutes, and One can only persist for 2 hours.
4. . The use of software experience, 1000H more certain. 1000H's Super Hybird Engine software can be used to adjust performance and power programs, EeePC Tray Utility software can easily open and close the wireless LAN, Bluetooth and camera, ASUS Update BIOS software can be easily updated. The One is just a hard switch to control the WLAN wireless cards, One update the BIOS in Windows, the software is I spent a long time to find the. .
5. Shell, One of the shell and the screen is easier than 1000H fingerprints and scratches, so I took the laptop car beauty shops to small $ 49 One wearing transparent clothing, so then I will fear no fingerprint!.
After several days of trial, I like One!. .
