macles.blogspot.com reports that there is a new BIOS out, and seems stable, reports on our forum state that the VGA BIOS gets updated plus extended battery life.

Download from Acer or directly from our downloads page.

You need to boot into DOS to flash the bios, you can do this by using a usb pen drive and the HP USB boot program and Windows 98 boot files (i have made one single download) you will find it the downloads section “under the bios page”

Remember flashing the BIOS incorrectly can prevent your computer from booting, so any questions ask in our forums first.

Online Canadian retailer NCIX seems to be one of the first shops selling the new 6 cell Acer Aspire One battery; available to order (1-2weeks)  Currently $111 (around £55)

This battery is twice the par that comes with the standard Acer Aspire One netbook (3 cell); in theory this new 6 cell battery should achieve around 5-6hrs of battery life.
