11.6" Acer Aspire One 751 with 6-Cell Battery First Impressions

First impressions of my 6-cell battery 11.6" Acer Aspire One 751 mini-notebook. Impressed with it's size and weight compared to a 10-inch netbook. Will the Atom Z520 processor be fast enough for daily use?

i'm returning this acer aspire one 751 white back to the store... nice look nice screen but terribly slow and noisy...

after 5-6 days i don't recommend this for you..

thanks for your thoughts on the 751 rizqferd. Did you have the Windows Vista model? I'm really surprised you found it noisy.

720P HD video (MKV) plays back fine, though 1080P video struggles. I get worse performance on W7 than I did on XP.

No idea about Kmplayer. Not sure if that would make a difference..

What the hell are you doing to it, trying to run impossible stuff on it? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That's the whole point of a netbook isn't it. If you get a machine for $300-400 and expect the same performance as fully fledged Vaio, then you deserve to be disappointed. Personally, I have an HP tablet, a Vaio laptop and an Acer netbook. They're all made for different purpose computing and will have their unique ups and downs to them. Why can't you understand that.

@rish134 Yeah, i'm in year 11 and its great, really quiet.

I put Ubuntu on there after 6-7 months because my Vista slowed down alot.

Great netbook though! :)

@img0rdonfreeman okay, sorry, its just that you mentioned the video card... mine works fine, i have windows media player, google chrome &with 5 tabs open* and MSN and it dosent struggle at all.

[img0rdonfreeman]

@djfrogfm At what point did I mention gaming? This netbook struggles with you tube, windows media player and any websites that have more than just text. So yeah, thats what I am trying to do on this netbook and it fails when compared to other's.

[djfrogfm]

@img0rdonfreeman what are you trying to do on it, its a netbook, not a laptop, designed for surfing the web, not gaming!

[djfrogfm]

For all the haters out there, i have had this laptop since christmas 09 and i have had NO problems with it, mine is the black vista version with 3 cell, i get about 3.0 - 3.5 hours battery life *and i didnt charge it all the way when i first got it* i use this whenever i can, i take it to school with me, i take it out with me when i go out with my mates so i can upload pictures onto it so we can take more pictures.

im thinking about buying the 6 cell battery... but do i really need it?

[img0rdonfreeman]

I have one of these and it is terrible. It looks great but it only has an Intel GMA 500 video card. I would avoid this and get something like the Dell Mini 10v or ASUS EeePc.
