11.6-Inch Widescreen Display

The 11.6-inch LED-backlit display (1366 x 768 pixels) presents true 16:9 aspect ratio with high-def resolution and fast 8ms (millisecond) response time for high-quality media playback as well as increased readability in low-light conditions. And the LED backlight technology is 33 percent more energy efficient than standard CCFL LCD screens.

Power-Sipping Processor

Newly designed from the ground up, the Intel Atom Z520 uses a 45nm (nanometer) design structure with new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--to conserve even more energy and give you more time away from the wall outlet. The Intel Atom Z520 provides a 1.3 GHz CPU speed with a 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) and 512 KB L2 cache--which uses just 2 watts of power. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) It supports Intel's 64-bit computing architecture, which can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory with compatible 64-bit software, as well as Intel's Hyper-Threading technology for speedier multitasking.

A Multi-Gesture Touchpad allows you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers across the touchpad for more natural photo and video viewing as well as intuitive navigation of websites. The Multi-Gesture Touchpad enables you to scroll, zoom in and out and flip through web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more. The TouchPad can also be disabled with a one-touch button, eliminating accidental cursor movement with palms and wrists when using an external mouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing computer value, July 19, 2009

By 

DC ""Technologist"" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - 8 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

Being a technologist, my career allows me to evaluate lots of computers and Netbooks. Nearly all offerings lacked quality, speed and features and were just big PDAs. Others were so expensive that they were just thin Notebook computers.

Aspire One recently released an 11.1" screen version (big by Netbook standards) and Z520 Atom processor (fast for a Netbook). With Windows-XP the performance is fantastic. I am able to smoothly watch DivX and Xvid encoded videos. With the larger battery, I get 6 hours of usage at maximum screen brightness (it is extremely bright) and 10 hours at lowest brightness.

This Netbook is available in four colors and I choose Black (Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545) to hide fingerprints (the Netbook's only negative). I searched every source and the best price is through Amazon ($[...] delivered) via J&R Music and Computer World.

If you want to make this computer run faster, follow these steps: uninstall Mcafee trial and install the free "Avast Antivirus" and the free "Spybot Search & Destroy". Uninstall Microsoft Office Trial and install the free "OpenOffice". Uninstall the DVD software (there is no drive to support it). If you need a CD drive, consider the highly rated "USB 2.0 External CD DVD RW Burner Drive" by sunvalleytek (under $[...]).

Even at 11.1", the screen can be hard on older eyes. Increase the font size to large (Display properties - Appearance) and default icon size (System - Advanced tab - Performance - Settings) to make things easier to see.

Cold boot time is under two minutes and it resumes from standby in under 3 seconds. I am so happy with this computer, and it is so inexpensive, that I have bought several and plan to buy more. Especially since Microsoft may discontinue Windows-XP soon, and you really want XP over Vista or Windows-7 to preserve Netbook performance.

Happy computing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Slow CPU, August 3, 2009

This review is from: Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - 8 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

The CPU is very slow. Good thing it has a long battery life. You are going to need it as it will take longer to do your task. Seem to take forever to load up. As I surf the Internet, I can tell it takes awhile to refresh the pages. I try watching videos [...] and I notice the freezes every 10 seconds. Forget it watching it in full screen. Then you can really tell how much it lags.

The good part about this machine is the light weight and the screen is beautiful. Battery lasts as advertised with low setting.

You are better off with a notebook that uses the Atom 270 or 280 CPU that is 1.6 MHZ. I didn't think .3 MHZ makes that much a difference, but it does.

One last thing: I noticed a high pitch sound from the netbook. I could not tell you what is making that noise. Could be the spinning if the drive or fan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow!, October 26, 2009

This review is from: Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - 8 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

The size of the Acer Aspire One is nice for portability. The keyboard is easy to work and the screen is reasonable to read, I just wish it would go faster. This machine is seriously slow! I can go faster on my 13-year old desktop. It probably has something to do with all the unwanted junk that's loaded onto it before you get it. However, if you're like me, you're not an engineer or tech-head, you just want to use a computer out-of-the-box, and you don't want to analyze it or spend a gazillion hours trying to figure out how to make it go faster, then this machine is not for you.
