Acer Aspire One 751 Review AO751h - 11.6" Netbook

Here are my impressions/opinions on the newest Aspire One Netbook. It's the first 11.6" netbook and comes with the atom Z520 1.33ghz chip and GMA 500. I kept forgetting to mention things, so you'll find this review to be very unorganized and a bit random. :)

hey randy! i got one already! would games work faster if it is in xp? like simple games in facebook.. those applications.. thanks.. hope you could try it and tell me .. thanks.. :)

[randysrandomreviews]

I'd assume a lot of those games are flash, and I've found flash to work much better in XP than vista. Or, another option is you could upgrade to Windows 7...it seems to run a bit better as well. You may find whatever games you want to play work just fine in Vista though.

There are a few methods. You either need a USB optical drive, or you can setup XP from a usb thumb drive. I do it from the USB stick with a program called USB_Multiboot_10

Thanks sooo much for your review! you just made my day! :) So many people say the 751 is not capable of youtube videos or flash in any way, but they seem to have tested it with vista...

now i can happily buy this! :)

[randysrandomreviews]

It does struggle with some of the higher rez flash video streaming, but I found the N270/GMA 950 netbooks had similar problems...the performance on most videos was pretty close. It is capable to get setfsb working on it to and overclock it some, for a bit of extra oomph (oddly enough it comes underclocked at 1.24ghz).

Nice review, thanks! I've ordered one, but only with 1gb of RAM and 160gb harddrive. Do you know which RAM that is recomended for this Acer model? I know that it was quite a big job to put in some extra RAM in the other Acer One models, but it seems to be possible in this one. Is there a regular 2.5" harddrive in it, so that I can replace it with a WD 500gb harddrive for example?

[randysrandomreviews]

I believe it's a standard 2.5" drive, yes...but I didn't look very closely when I had the hatch off. Not sure what type of ram you'd want...I recall reading it supports several speeds, but believe any ram will run at 533 due to the chipset (pretty sure I read that, at least).

@hekma ...but not sure if this netbook is SSD compatible ...im thinking of a 16 GB SSD as most of the other ones are expensive

[hekma]

thank you for your review, I have the same Netbook now , but there is something I overlooked,........do you know if this kind of netbook be upgraded with an SSD ? ..I have a 250 GB HDD on mine now and Vista as OS and its getting slow ....I want to replace 1 GB ram with 2 GB, XP instead of Vista ,.....and an SSD instead of the HDD

... Rise of Nations is installed and I play! But I have a secret:-I never turn off my Acer, always use hibernation. Do not worry about the battery. A week later, it hibernated, the battery remains at the same level. Today, in my ACER boot only if the system prompts. I love this ACER.

[mecholsky]

I bought mine in Uruguay. At first I was very upset, because the boot was somewhere around 15 min! Once took over an hour to shut down Windows! It was simply sucks!I stayed with him for portability, design, lightness. But i´m not satisfied. For over 30/60 days he made continuous upgrades in Windows Vista, and when it ended ... it was a completely different machine! Boot faster, opening screens, finally, today very well, both for the Internet, text editing, and even

would you recommend windows 7 on this for a student (overall use)?

@realisticHomeboy

It's clearly you that's the fail on every aspect plus you're a retard who nobody likes. Also nobody is going to think very much of you now we all know what type of awful person you are judging by the fact you're in support of the bombing on 911.  watch?v=nb8sxJbRakU and we can flick through & see you put "nobody cares about 911 it was 8 years ago"
