The acer aspire one is not made by acer, so it can be considered safe and sturdy. There is some crapware on it, though I have found and mirrored an image of Windows XP Home with the drivers needed for the computer to run and use all the functions slipstreamed in. If you want the link you can PM me!

I will have another look on aspireoneuser.com for the batteries. I need it to get through a day on battery for school.
