One of the decisions you'll have when choosing your netbook is the size of the display. The Acer Aspire One Happy has a 10.1" display. As with TVs and computer monitors, this is measured diagonally across the screen. Netbook screen sizes range from around 7" to around 12". While a 7" screen might sound tiny compared to your normal computer display, you'll be surprised how detailed and easy to read even the smallest netbook displays is. Netbooks with smaller displays are more portable. Netbooks with larger screens are more suited for those planning to use it for longer periouds of work. You'll need to weigh up how you'll be using your netbook and whether a smaller portable case is more important to you.
The Acer Aspire One Happy has an LCD screen that uses LED backlighting technology. LED backlighting is used in TVs, computer monitors, netbook and laptop computers. It is an energy efficient form of backlighting. LED stands for light emitting diodes and is an alternative to the older method of 'tube' lighting. This older method of illumination requires more energy and can produce patchy brightness and poor black colour on screen. LED backlighting produces excellent blacks, does away with patches on the display, and produces excellent levels of contrast and detail previously not possible. LED lighting also requires less room, reducing the weight and profile of the display.
This netbook has a built-in webcam that can be used on video chat software, or to broadcast yourself on the Internet on sites like YouTube. A built in camera allows you to use software such as MSN messenger or skype to make video calls and keep in touch with friends and family anywhere there is a wi-fi connection (or using a pre-paid dongle).
