  They had this same deal several weeks ago. But this time they have more add-on options. They only had $30 for extended warranty and sleeve last time.
  Good deal, but most people will say that the processor is too slow.

  it'll run fine in XP… problem is its too slow for W7

  one of several comments on the web about the CPU

  "One possible reason for the netbooks poor result is the choice of Intel’s Atom Z520 processor, a low-power chip which has proved unable to keep up with the 720p-capable display credentials of the AO751."

  still a good deal though, just don't expect awesome HD playback I suppose

  i got this notebook a few weeks ago when cotd had the similar promo, but the only problem is that it freezes all the time. looks like it's a well known problem and no easy fix for it. have spoken to acer and i have to reformat to confirm it's not a software problem.

  these 56 pages of other users having the same problem suggests that it's not as simple as a software problem

    Looks like this Acer is a dud. Thanks for heads-up!

  Something else to keep in mind is that the 6-cell battery sticks out the back, which you can't see from the photos on CotD.

  Here's a picture of it with the 6-cell sticking out:

  In light of the freeze up problem and the huge 6-cell battery, i cant appreciate my benq more.

  anyone thinking about this acer, is probably better off with the benq.

    Is yours the U121 with the Z530? Do you recommend it?

    • 

      kimmik on 07/01/2010 - 20:29

      for 400, i couldnt recommend it enough - as long as you can install your own os.

      yes z530, and easily plays 720p movies. screen is high res, but quality not up to desktop standards, only a pass.

        I've still been having 720p playback problems on my acer, using win7 and have the latest intel drivers - have no idea whats wrong. Luckily 720p playback wasnt the main reason I bought it otherwise i would have returned it.

          @voter1: a few things you can try:

          1. use WMP12
          2. switch OFF AERO
          3. make sure its mp4 or vc1, not divx or xvid

          if none of these help, then its probably a hardware limitation unfortunately
