No this is not basically a small computer as most people think of them. From my understanding it does run on a computer operating system called Linux. However I believe they lock you out of it. They use it as the groundwork for their custom GUI (graphical user interface). It will do some of the same things as a computer such as sending and receiving email or basic web surfing but it was mainly made to watch movies and listen to music. I can't imagine trying to use this as your main web browser or email client. Also many people would find it easy to fill the 250gb with movies and music (myself included).

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

1. I don't know why you are sending this to me, as I do not work for Komputerbay... If this is the memory that I bought that you are referring to that I stated was great, then you have purchased the wrong memory, as this is server memory, NOT PC memory. You will need to chat with the folks at Komputerbay about a returen, and that is NOT ME. Capeche?

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

this is just a flash drive, even though a very large one. I would think your current computer needs a more capacity, like a 1 TB external drive...

How do I use this thing? My daughter set it up, and there are no instructions for use. So, how do I pack up my computer -- I see nothing on the

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

I really love the computer but I struggle with windows 8. As far as games it seems to go pretty quickly but I do not know the games you are referring to. So I don't know how much memory that requires. The computer itself I use for work, but I do play facebook games and aside from using the laptop mouse which has this hide feature I have yet to figure out how to turn off. I think the windows 8 is the bigger issue. I have 6 MB of RAM so it seems plenty for the games I play. I hope I answered your question.

Depends how much memory your computer may have. Best if you get like an 8 gig USB drive or an external hard drive if your not sure how much memory your computer have. It really shouldn't take much memory these days since computers come with a alot memory.

I think that it is optimal to buy this computer and a separate SSD 128GB, and replace the original 500GB, with that and a memory of 8GB DDR3 would be a bullet. best regards (sorry my bad english)

No this is a hard drive that meant for computers. You can buy an adapter and use it for extra memory but your better off getting a big micro SD. I believe they released a 128gb one recently

It doen not have any memory, you will need to connect an external drive, a usb key or sd card.

I asked my brother, a computer geek and a doctor, and he said 1G is more than enough RAM. He also asked me how often I use a bluetooth for anything now and the answer is never. Every month there are new computer specs and better equipment coming out so I will never have it all. I think I worry about making a mistake and not trusting my own decisions. Did you get yours yet?

that's easy, none. The video memory is shared from general memory, AKA RAM. There is 4 gigs of memory on the desktop. This is a good general purpose desktop.

No this is just a basic computer for regular stuff like browsing the internet and do some office work. if you plan to game you have to add memory and a good video card, and even like that it maybe slow cause it have a Pentium 4 processor.

It doesn't really have internal memory that you would want to use. I recommend a SD memory card or a USB Drive.
