This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Whats not to like?!
Only had this for a short time, but I cant think of anything I would change, great screen, nice keyboard, light weight, not too much 'trailware". The device manager says its has a broadcom wi-fi card, and a Hitachi hard drive, so the components I can see look great, full W7 OS. I got the AO722-0472, which has the 2GB of memory, I ordered the 4GB off amazon for $23, (so I guess there is something I would change) I got free shipping and no sales tax, sold by Amazon. So far so good. I have heard ACER tech support is poor, so I will just keep my fingers crossed on that. Will post an update in a few months.
2. Several hard drive fails, trackpad malfunctions...in 1 month
Acer Aspire One AO722-BZ454 11.6-Inch HD Netbook (Espresso Black)
Purchased 9 of them in February for use in LEGO Mindstorms robotics workshops that started in March. On the first day of use, 1 of the hard drives crashed (Error message: No boot device found, check cable connection).
On the 2nd day of use, another hard drive crashed....same error message.
Contacted ACER customer service who confirmed the hard drive crash and sent Fedex labels so we could mail them in.
On the 4th day of use, another hard drive crashed....same error message....and then the trackpad stops working on another machine. We sent emails to management of ACER but they did not respond.
On the 6th day of use, another hard drive crashed....same error message.
So of 9 ACER netbooks purchased, 5 of them have required repair in less than a month of use. All these malfunctions have happened in...
Need more appointment... ?
One Dead and One Less Than Perfect
After some research, I thought that the Acer Aspire One seemed to offer good value for what I wanted, which was primarily a fairly light and small travel computer. I ordered from the road and, through the wonders of Amazon Prime, I had the computer the day after I returned home. My enthusiasm upon turning the computer on was quickly tempered when I was greeted with the Black Screen of Death. I immediately called Acer support (the term "support" is used loosely here) and we went through the usual drill of turn the computer off and then on; take the battery out and put it back in; and so on. The representative then said I should mail the computer back to them. I inquired what the turn-around would be and was told two to three weeks. I thanked him and said I would check with Amazon first. After describing the situation to the Amazon rep., she couldn't have been more helpful. She said she would send me a replacement under Prime and I had the replacement two days later.
So far,...
