Acer Aspire One 751

Good – I bought one in Hong Kong just because it offers a better choice of colour. I was attracted by its large screen, 11.6 inches compare to other netbook of only 10.1 inch, and its HD resolution 1366x768. The LED backlight drives the display pretty bright and very contract, much better than the traditional TFT display. The quality of the in-build camera is also very good. One handy feature is the SD card slot, which I can transfer photos from my digital camera very easy. There are pre-installed software, this save a lot of my time to install them, and also the cost of purchasing some of them, such as McAfee antivirus, and MS Work. On the other hand, main problem with this is, the audio is broken up in the MSN communication, I have re-installed Live Messager, as well as the upgrading the audio driver, but it still no hope. The speaker is relative small and weak, I end up with attaching an external speaker. The touchpad is also very difficult to use, and I connect an external optical mouse instead. Overall the speed of the system is slow, but this is the penalty of low price device. I have this netbook for about 2 months time now, but it had system hung for 3 times, which the whole system just stop working for no reason, and I need to power it down by holding the power button. Otherwise using this device to browse the internet is good enough. Relative large screen
