Acer Aspire One 751
Acer Aspire 751 Review
This range of netbooks from market leader Acer marks
the maturing of the netbook market as customers demand more performance and features.
A new ultra-slim PC with 11.6-inch screen, the Acer Aspire One 751 series gets off the mark well with a larger screen than the original 9 inch monitors found on earlier netbooks but still wieghing in at not much more than a kilo. The extra few inches makes a lot of difference to the user experience since it means much less scrolling up and down. PC has a sleek design with rounded edges and a layout that makes it to appear to be very thin and stylish. Our test PC had a lid in white metallic color, while the rest of the computer was black. The Acer Aspire 751 is available in red, blue and black.
Connectivity for external display (VGA) and Ethernet are placed on each side of the computer, but the forward edge of the back – directly below the screen. This unusual position makes sure you get these cables out of the way. Aspire One 751 has totally flat keys and the keyboard is good to write on. The 11.6 inch LED-backlit screen has good brightness and we consider the picture quality as very good. The screen is of the “glossy” Crystal Brite-type, which looks very good – and provides clear and beautiful colors. But like other monitors of this type you can very easily reflections in the screen, and there is much light in the room can be a bit tiresome to work on. With a screen resolution of 1 366 x 768 pixels (16:9 widescreen) the web browsing and film viewing experience is much better than many of the mini-PCs which have a lower resolution (often 1024 x 600)
Thanks to the Intel Atom Z520 processor the machine has a low power consumption meaning models are available with upto 9 hours battery life even though the screen is larger than smaller netbooks with a similar battery life.

The main differences in prices for the Acer Aspire 751 series is the size of the bundled RAM and the battery life where you can buy models with a 9 hour battery life this will typically cost around £100 than the entry level netbook which should provide 4 hours battery life. The integrated Intel GMA500 graphics will give better graphics performance than the previous Atom-based mini-computers that use the GMA950 chipset.
