    My Aspire One's USB ports seem kind of loose.

    Like, if I plug in a wireless USB mouse adapter it will kind of wiggle slightly. This has been bothering me. Has anyone else had this problem? Any way to fix it?

    I guess it would differ from person to person o_O

    My Aspire One's fit snugly to my DataTraveler and GXT USB drives, and fits very tightly with my Sandisk Cruzer and USB mouse.

    The Aspire One is running Windows XP Home edition which is probably the most widely used operating system today. So there shouldn’t be any complains there. The machine boots up and is ready to go in about 55 seconds. Launching applications such as Mozilla Firefox takes just a second or two. With 1GB of RAM you can have plenty of applications running at once without any issues. Just about all the applications I use on a regular basis are available for download, but if you have any programs that come on a CD or DVD, you’ll need to find an external USB drive to install them. I was also excited to see that Acer had already upgraded XP to Service Pack 3, which will save everyone the time and hassle of having to install too many updates. Having run XP on a machine with a 900 MHz processor and 256 MB of RAM, I can testify that XP is a very flexible OS and will run without any issues on this laptop.
