Wow - A new TOP DOG!

I’ve always been an Acer fan, but last Christmas, they couldn’t compete with the 10″ MSI’s (U100’s). I bought 6 of the MSI netbooks and set them up for friends and family. They are still a very nice netbook. But this new 11.6″ Acer is NICE! I don’t detect any lack of speed compared to the MSI. The keyboard is nicer and bigger and the trackpad works well (although the Logitech Nano Mouse is the only way to go). This one comes with XP, which is no-brainer. (sorry, but Vista doesn’t belong on netbooks). There’s a LOT of unnecessary software that loads at startup (probably the reason for the speed complaints, besides Vista). so you’ll want to spend some time removing it. Battery life looks really good, after charging it reports 8+ hours remaining, although after about 1/2 hour, it then shows 6 hours.

PROS:
-Very nice display 1366 x 768 res (sweet)
-6 cell battery sticks out the back so the thin profile is maintained
-Still actually squeezes into my 10″ neoprene sleeve/case
-Nice and thin but shiny surface shows fingerprints (just like MSI)

CONS:
-Single ram slot is occupied by 1 Gig stick, but specs indicate that is max?? (Vista versions ship with 2 Gig)
-Display is very glossy, I kinda prefer the matt finish like MSI.
-Extreme amount of bloatware. Use MSCONFIG to disable all the startup crap.

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Portable, not powerful
I acquired this little machine for its light weight and compact dimensions—and it has not disappointed. Easily transported and stowed, it’s a great device for the traveler. The 11.6 inch screen is very sharp but I would not spend hours in front of it working with spreadsheets or fine graphics. This Acer runs all Microsoft Office applications, albeit slowly and sometimes haltingly–other reviewers have mentioned freezes, which I have experienced, too. I use this economical laptop as a back-up device to my home desktop and it fills that role well, but no more than that. Hard to beat it for the price!

Very Impressed with junior.
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, $28 ) 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!!
