I picked up an Acer aspire one on clearance for a low price.

I added 4gb of ram to it and an SSD and it's ok for light loads.

It uses some AMD processor that has no cache or something ridiculous. C-50 Or C-52?

It also has a sticker for "HD Internet".



I have an AA1 somewhere, mine has an Intel Atom.

Worked great until I updated Linux to discover that I could no longer install the stupid proprietary driver for the graphics, so lost hardware accelerated graphics. Was never able to downgrade successfully.

I've been idly looking for something modern to replace it but seems like there's nothing like that on the market now.
