Acer Aspire One 722 laptop latest reviews, specs, prices

The keyboard sports a very thin bezel to make better use of the available space. Similar to the previously reviewed Aspire One Happy 2, the keys are relatively bigger than found on most netbooks. Although it gets the job done, an island-type keyboard would have made the experience better.The trackpad sports a matte finish that runs through the entire lower half of the laptop. The touchpad offers good sensitivity and is accompanied by a vertical scrolling line. It supports a few touch gestures too.However, there's no visual separation between the mouse buttons.The black model (also available in white, cyan,and red.we received sports a classic look with a dropletpattern on the lid. The ripple effect is well done andallows the device to look distinct without being gaudy.The AMD C-50 APU is incorporated with AMD Radeon 6250 graphics. The dual-core CPU is clocked at 1 GHz and is coupled with 2 GB of RAM. Other specs include Wi-Fi,Bluetooth 3.0, an HDMI port, webcam, SD memory card reader,and a 320 GB hard drive spinning at 5200 rpm.

 

The device comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Starter and includes a free ad-supported Office Starter 2010, which is good enough for daily tasks. Acer has alsobundled some bloatware, McAfee Internet Security being the mostannoying of the lot.The 722 never has a hard time handling basic tasks, and can also take on intensive image-editing software such as Photoshop.The 722 sports an 11.6" LED backlit display with 1024x600 pixels. Similar to the Happy 2,the screen is relatively brighter than most netbooks. The colours look good,but the screen is reflective, which can be annoying at times.The two tiny speakers at the
bottom are not very loud, but they get the job done. However, while watching movies, it's better to plug in your favourite earphones.
