How do you mistakenly send a batch of higher capacity batteries to the reviewers??? You're mass producing 4400mAh batteries and yet somehow sent over 5500mAh that magicly appeared?

But if you really want to be pissed off consider the mainstream reviewers reaction to getting punked like this: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2340596,00.asp (see the editors note after the battery paragraph) The people at PC Mag aren't idiots, they know they were screwed over by being given a juiced up unit to review. But they're in such desperate shape they don't dare admit it for fear of losing yet another advertiser. Clearly PC Mag is resigned to being Asus' b***h.

umm.... ever had a good motherboard? a really good one? chances are it was Acer......

Just because they produce a less expensive product does not mean that they as a brand are a junk brand.

**just because you in your infinite wisdom have not heard of a brand, does not designate it as junk]]>Feb 9th 2009 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/10-inch-aspire-ones-battery-downgraded-after-reviewers-have-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/10-inch-aspire-ones-battery-downgraded-after-reviewers-have-the/

Show me that "Acer=junk" is not just your personal opinion but that the population of laptop buyers thinks that Acer is crap. ]]>Feb 9th 2009 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/10-inch-aspire-ones-battery-downgraded-after-reviewers-have-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/10-inch-aspire-ones-battery-downgraded-after-reviewers-have-the/

Its weight is light.
I search the aspire one battery with Google, but all most are 9cells 6600mAh or 6 Cell 5200-5800mAh it is too heavy

In the end I found 6-cell battery here : http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk/acer-aspire-one-battery.htm

You can see some info about it]]>Feb 19th 2009 10:02PM
