    I was wondering if anyone has purchased and received a AOD150? Battery shipment, 4400mah vs 5800mah.

    I want to buy a white one, but their are none available to purchase, just pre-order.

    I ordered mine yesterday. UPS has it right now, its scheduled to be delivered on Monday, so Ill post which battery they shipped it with then. However, the specs on the one I got were 6-cell, 2200 mAh. I have read about acer shipping some with larger batteries, but I'm not optimistic about mine being anything other than advertised.

    Amazon is SOOO awesome! Ordered it on The 11th, received it today! (They said I would get it on the 17th so I am "kinda" stoked)

    This is my first laptop, The Acer Aspire One 10-inch has gone far my expectation (Blog Link), and I believe it will continue to (Just getting the newest or latest tech laptop that can serve my needs). Though, I couldn't wait for a "Asus EEE Tablet" which is coming out "sometimes". A laptop, rated world wide as one of the best, at a price of $350 is ridiculous! (And new!)

    I ordered my on 2-6 from JR.com in ruby red and still haven't received. They sent me a email a few days ago and said it was backordered but that is computer generated message per my sales person. :roll:

    Yep I got mine already. Ordered the sapphire blue one on tuesday night from Newegg, and received it yesterday. And I got the 5800 mah battery! Whoo hoo. But now, I'm having trouble getting linux to work and more specifically for sickboy's kernel to work =/

    So you got the bigger battery that is what I was hoping to hear my question is is the bluetooth button on the unit, even though bluetooth is not included on this model. If it is than the bluetooth wiring is probably already inside also and the module I stated in another post will work and we can add internal bluetooth for like 25.00

    Has anyone received an AOD150 that isn't blue?

    I only ask because it seems they are favoring that color for distribution right now. All other colors are pre-order only.

    Honestly I really wanted red and had it preordered through j&R but then i thought I might not end up with the bigger battery so I cancelled and ordered from amazon since blue was available now. J&R said the other colors may not be out for a week or so.

    i have just received my AOD-150 and i am so stoked....it is amazing. Some of the reviews talked of a lack of quality from the original to this one....I don't know what they are talking about, this thing is amazing. I bought it from Amazon after killing my preorder from J&R because they were taking FOREVER. I plan to triple boot OSX86, Ubuntu, and Windows Seven Beta. Just a quick question though....Did anyone else receive a sleeve with their AAO? I know that the 8.9" model came with one but my 10" didn't. Just want to know if anyone else didn't get one....

    but i DID get the big battery.....AWESOME

    Hello all, first timer here. Just bought mine yesterday from a local store. Interdiscount, I live in Switzerland so please forgive any grammar mistakes. I love it, it's a bit larger then my previous one, I had the SSD 8Gb version. I wanted a hard drive due to the lack luster performance with the SSD and was actually going to buy the previous generation when the manager came out and said, "you know, we just received a shipment of the new 10 inch model", "sign me up", I replied. So far it's great, I love the fact that I can now upgrade to 2 gigs of memory and that the sim port is easily assessable. I'm in the process of installing OSX on it right now and will report back later how that went. Any questions? I'd be more then happy to answer them. I'm also a bit of hacker so I will be willing to try anything you want to better give that purchasing push.

    I was hoping for a better resolution, I mean they increase the size, the real estate is there why not use it.

    I recived my 10" today.

    After a few months of thinking about the 8.5. I finally broke down and ordered an 8.5 (XP 1 gig ram, 160gig HD, 6cell). after i placed my order, i noticed the 10 was available (for only $20 more). I decided look it up and read the rumors of the larger battery and easier to replace 2 gig of ram upgrade.

    I bit the bullet, canceled my 8.5 upgraded to the 10. I did get a blue, i saw the reds were not out yet. I would normally have waited to get the flavor I wanted. but, with the battery rumor, I jumped on blue thinking the Red would have the smaller battery. I wanted the 8.5 for size but it is not thqat much differant and the pluses outweigh the size.

    I got it from Amazon with free shipping and no tax. This thing rocks! with the exception of the crappy pointer pad.... Large 8500mhz Battery!

    I already made a ghost of the factory harddrive and formated it with Nlite XP Pro SP3. tweeking the settings now. Tomorrow I'll go get a 2 gig chip and post how that went. I already poped open the HDD, Memory and Wi-Fi? bays.

    The HDD poped right out with a little finnessing.. (plugged it into my desktop's sata2 to do the ghost ultra fast).

    The mem is a 1 gig generic stick.

    The WiFi screw was loctight'd (blue flavor) .. that took a little force to snap.

    once i put unbloated XP on it, it runs like a champ.

    Did i say i love it? I am going on 6 hours with the battery and it says i have 15% left (1 hour)

    I had to join the community once i recived it. It seemed odd to join without an Aspire One..
