Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook Review

Acer Aspire One AO751h-1545 11.6-Inch Black Netbook Review from Atilio A Deambrosi tech geek. What I expected and am happy with that…., I got this netbook to actually replace a 15.4 inch macbook pro (I know the blasphemy of it all), well not so much replace it, but travel with it in place of the mac (which I am still keeping, since it is company issued). My reasons were I spend so much time in airports and planes each week walking around and pulling out the laptop to work, that the low battery life, with the scarce number of outlets in an airport, plus the shrinking seating room in airplanes was limiting my computer time. This netbook is supposed to solve all that. Well, I haven’t traveled with it yet, but I spent some time “prepping” it and testing it. It is very light and the battery is lasting around 6 hours with fairly heavy use (wifi always on, bluetooth adapter, screen 75% brightness, etc). I mainly use web browsers (we sell a Saas based software application), itunes for my iphone, and Microsoft Office (sparingly). I also gave a web presentation using gotomeeting, which worked with no problems. My only complaint, which is everyone else’s and what I expected was the low performance (yes I did upgrade to 2gigs and I am running xp not vista – shudder), but again I expected that. Two complaints are the heavy battery makes balancing it on my lap cumbersome as the laptop wants to tilt back all the time and the flex in the screen backing (or lid), when closed and I am gripping it, it feels like it might give if I squeezed to much. I do find one key kind of squeaking a little, but the keyboard is a joy to type on compared to the 8.9 acer aspire one (which I also own). Overall I am pleased with the purchase. I gave it 4 stars and not 5, because of the give in the casing of the netbook, which I think could have been sturdier, but here is hoping to lighter travel both in scheduling and in the amount of weight I have to lug around (now to find the perfect backpack for a day trip and my little net book and accessories – Samsonite Proteo anyone?)
