Acer Aspire One 531 is a nice looking 10.1″ netbook equipped with all essential specs to rival the budget range netbooks. The main highlight of this netbook is the budget price and maximum portability.

Netbook Design

The Acer Aspire One 531 has the thinnest chassis amongst the light weight laptops that lead the category, the matt and gloss patterns on the outer finish make this netbook quite appealing. It has a widescreen compact display of 10.1″ and weights an impressive 1.5kgs.

Battery Life

The most impressive feature of this netbook is the 7 hour battery juice so you can work uninterrupted on your journeys.

Keyboard and Trackpad Design

Acer has tried to improve the keys with better spacing and also includes a trackpad with multitouch functionality to enable zoom in and out while looking at pictures or scrol documents without the use of scroll bars. You simply do this by sliding two fingers across the trackpad, it zooms in when you bring the fingers together or zooms out when moved in opposite directions.
