Acer Aspire One 751h 11.6-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - 8 Hour Battery Life Review

This unit has surpassed every hope that I had for it. It is a full featured (minus DVD) comupter. Full sized keyboard with a great touch. I traded a 15 pound “portable” for 2.5 pounds. Love it!!!!!

Purchased this Acer as a second netbook. I plan on keeping it in the kitchen with all of my recipes so as to minimize clutter. I also have an 8.9″ Acer for everyday use and travel.

Acer Aspire One AO751h-1351 11.6-Inch White Netbook - 3+ Hour Battery Life Review

” Ever since the Trash 80 I’ve survived hardware and software crashes that would keep anyone from touching a computer again. Only a new laptop could solve the current problem and not just a bigger hard drive, which was my first choice. The last laptop I purchase was a used Sony 300MHz VAIO with a 30 Gig hard drive for 0. Its now used only for meal planning, email, word processing and a variety of other suitably s-l-o-w tasks. So I was not expecting very much for 0, if you know what I mean. Dang, was I ever surprised! New on the market the Sony was over ,500 so naturally to get over a Ghz and a 250 GIG drive I feel like with the Aspire I automatically have a good deal. Right off the bat with no changes or updates it ran streamed Netflix video with just a bit more low resolution patches than I enjoy but even my dual core 2.4 gig desktop shows a couple of patches every now and then and this may actually be the network rather than the computer. Once I updated the BIOS and the ACER and Windows Vista software AND downloaded a copy of Firefox the laptop was good to go. I have to use a magnifying glass or the software magnifier in the accessibility options folder for seeing text in full screen resolutionbut then I have to wear them anyway to see 10 pica Times New Roman. After watching part of a movie or two (I instaled Power DVD 5 since the bundled version 8 was not working…) along with writing this review and surfing the web for a couple of hours I won’t part with this baby now. Perfect for the road when you need to “bee” out there fast and light. Perfect if the other computers at office, home or at the library are at critical times in use. Perfect for a low budget. The only thing I would (and may) change is Vista. It won’t let me use the c:\ drive for txt files and other stuff where my programs are already pointing. Forget upgrading to get Windows Aero. You’ll need a slightly faster video adapter than the one that is built in. Be sure the configuration you select has everything you were expecting. I was expecting a built-in Bluetooth module but had to use my own USB adapter. The only way to get a better all around deal is to wait a couple of years. “

” Im typing my Review on my new Acer AO751h. The 11.6″ High Def Screen is FANTASTIC. Big, Bright, PERFECT. Keyboard is FAST and quiet. Construction feels very solid, no creaks or bending. My desktop is a 2.16 Ghz
Core Duo with an ASUS SLI Motherboard, and frankly Im amazed how well this little single core holds its own in comparison. The fact is, if you are doing heavy PROCESSING jobs like Gaming or Video editing, heck yeah a 1.22 Ghz wont cut it. If you are low on cash and want a full fledged all purpose LAPTOP computer, this aint it. You will be Hatin’ it! But for Web Surfing, Music, YouTube, e-mail etc, I find it to be WAY FAST ENOUGH. And compared to OTHER NETBOOKS, and I’ve BEEN shopping them all, this IS the one with all the goodies for the price. Personally, XP, 2gig Ram (I replaced the 1 gig with a 2 gig stick from Amazon for like, ) the Great Keyboard, and the Fab 16 x 9 High Def Screen puts this one ahead of all the others. Absolutely no other complaints, except, oh yes, it IS a fingerprint magnet, BIG WHOOP! Happy Surfing!!
