Today, I just bought this netbook model two unit, because that it just reduces the price to $198 and I still have 5% of the target card as well. So I decided to buy this Acer Aspire One AO722-0473 11.6-Inch HD Netbook for price reduction. I set them both to be successful today and put one for my 9-year-old daughter to use it. She learned and can use it quickly. And another one for my wife to take it to the clinic, it is easily accessible.
I was impressed it at first removed from its packaging. With 2 GB of RAM, this netbook can work quickly right. It can run internet through web browser without any problems. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are also available as well.
It's like any other netbook in the same price, I'll add a 4GB SODIMM in order to enhance its performance even more. At this point, the netbook can easily upgrade it to a screw on the back cover to access the RAM and HDD and PCI slot with ease.
Update November 25 2011 :
This ago about 3 weeks since I received this netbook. Is no anything to complain for it. I had to upgrade RAM as I want and it improves some performance up slightly. As observed, that is an antivirus program and uninstall programs can run faster. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials with basic antivirus / antispy ware has been free from Microsoft.
I think I need more Bluetooth devices on this chip-set that use the original wireless WIFI (Atheros), I found that Atheros WIFI does not cover some of the works which I wanted. I searched the PCIs Atheros from Internet and found it on Ebay. I decided to buy Atheros AR5B195 + Bluetooth Half Mini PCIe at price of $21 with shipping.
The combo WIFI and Bluetooth card sent to me in the next day and I had to install it manually. It's very easy to install by remove original wireless card out (open case, pop off the antenna leads and remove the hold down screw) and install the new card instead. The new card has two poles, the pole share which WIFI and Bluetooth antennas that are employed together.
Now, both set to work as I want. The Atheross Bluetooth Driver can be used with the Aspire One AO722 driver. Is quite difficult to find the Atheros WiFi driver. I'm trying to test difference between the set and found that it works well either with Dell DW1702 wireless card driver. Which must be some hard installed because it is a driver for a Dell machine. Yep! driver can work together, and after the driver complete installation, wireless can work immediately.
Everything appears to be working fine. I can now use a Bluetooth mouse without a dongle!
