Design:
High definition is the standard for computer displays. We were happy
to see that the AO756 sports a bright and clear 1366 x 768 pixel
display. Whether you're playing games, watching a video or simply
surfing the web, an HD display will make your experience more enjoyable.
With more pixels on the screen, you can view more information at a time
while browsing, or see more details in videos and games. This netbook's
11.6-inch screen takes full advantage of its HD capabilities.
While this netbook may be on the heavier side compared to other
machines in our lineup, it makes up for the weight with performance. In
fact, we were impressed that Acer was able to stuff so much hardware
into this netbook without pushing it into the laptop weight category.
User Interface Features:
This
Acer netbook ships with Windows 8 which supports up to 2GB of RAM.
Thankfully, this Acer netbook can take advantage of Windows 8's better
offerings. Windows 8 requires a 1366 x 768 screen resolution so you'll
have the best picture possible. With three USB ports you'll have plenty
of room to plug in a good amount of your extra toys. It also features an
HDMI port.
Memory/Battery Life:
This
netbook uses an amount of RAM that is quite astonishing in a netbook.
There are not many netbooks that can boast 8GB of RAM. Add to the RAM a
1.10GHz dual-core processor and you get a netbook that takes its
business seriously. Most netbook users will likely find the hardware on
this sleek Acer more than enough for their needs. As if a powerful
processor and a significant amount of RAM weren't enough, this netbook
also comes with a 320GB hard drive. Most netbooks feature hard drives
only half that size. This netbook is meant to perform.
The only downside to the AO756 is its comparatively short battery
life. At only 4.20 hours, it shares the spot for the shortest battery
life in our netbook lineup.
Summary:
With a strong processor, an ample amount of RAM, a large hard drive
and sleek looks going for it, you may be hard pressed to deny the AO756.
Instead of focusing on portability only, it appears that Acer did its
best to create a netbook that can outperform the competition while
maintaining a compact form factor. The Acer Aspire One AO756-2626 is a
largely successful attempt to marry performance and portability.
