Acer Aspire One AO751h-1080 11.6-Inch Blue Netbook - 3+ Hour Battery Life Review

This is a really easy device to use. Much more practical than 8-10 inch netbooks, this one is actually useful. It is the perfect size, right between netbook and laptop. Full size keyboard with big buttons. The 11.6″ screen make you feel ike you’re using a real machine, not a toy. The Vista OS runs too slow on it, but an upgrade to WinXP sovled all of my speed problems. This unit is not powerful enough to ship with Vista, and Acer made a mistake by not shipping it with XP. Acer support was worthless when I asked about the XP drivers. I had to find Drivers myself for XP, and found that a competing Fujitsu model carried all the drivers I needed for this unit. Once that was resolved, no problems. Divx Movies, Music, Youtube all run great. OS runs very snappy with 2GB RAM, and the 250GB hard drive is perfect. I got the 3 cell battery, it lasts 2.5 hours with normal use. I will be gettign the 6 cell upgrade separately. I would recommend anyone seriously using this unit as a road warrior get the model that has the 6 cell battery. It’s only 50 bucks more, and you get twice the battery life. I paid 9, wish I had gotten the 9 version with upgraded battery.
