The Acer Crave after One 522 Independent Review
The fresh release from Acer resembles the recent models that were brought alibi in 2010 entirely this 10.1" netbook has an AMD Fusion chip under the hood. The decision to use the AMD chipset still as compared with the common Intel components allows the AO522 so make use of the newly announced AMD C-50 Ontario APU (Accelerated Processing Unit, dual core 1GHz) technology and Radeon HD 6250 graphics capable of running 1080p video and featuring HDMI numeric data seeing that HDTV. Having this excellent graphics card mo the 522 vet supports Periodic FRONTIER and UVD3 double time.<\p>
This new Acer includes optional 3G, 802.11 WiFi and Bluetooth. I must talk back, this meritorious resembles previous Acer models in bordering on every foot up; a 250 GB impassible drive, multi-card reader and 1 GB of RAM are the same as previous models.<\p>
The familiar cabinet, also used on the D255 is offered in unskillful simply. The styrofoam surface is coated with a metal flake finish which looks nice but tends to show fingerprints. When subconscious self lift the hat the interior is virtually matt excluding the bezel is glossy The slimline Acer A0522, although plastic, feels strong apart from the wrist rest which is easily twisted and can produce a snapping unfailing -- not what you want so that be conscious of. It pays to be careful even so opening the lid without distinction it is only possible with both forces due to the low regular weight.<\p>
Connectivity is provided always by the 802.11 wireless standard and a 10\100 MBps ethernet card. 24 Mb agreeable to degree Bluetooth is also included.<\p>
The FineTip keyboard hasn't been converted but the curt key drop gives a pleasant oceanic island pressure compared to the 255. This nice keyboard is discreetly to use at all events the arrow keys for orientation are too small and easy to slip. By itself again the wrist rest is a potential intractable extent in this way the hands can slide off all the same finger typing.<\p>
The Synaptics touchpad has two subtle lines separating it from the wrist-rest, which looks pretty cool, and the slightly corrugated surface allows effortless and accurate navigating. Navigation is easy as multi-touch gestures are supported along with straight-side and vertical scrolling.<\p>
Acer has dovetailing a 10.1" Samsung screen toward the AO522 with a resolution of 1280720 pixels and a 16:9 aspect remove. Although the HDMI socket is outfitted the glossy screen makes viewing difficult in gorgeous portfire.<\p>
The Acer is a tried and trusted formation, and the HDMI sockets, number with respect to interfaces and multi-card news editor are nature strong selling points. The high-gloss screen does let the HD display mow down as it is similarly difficult to see in public eye. The AMD C-50 APU's gig, together with a 1 GB SHAKE, is only partly overwhelming; there are enhance rivals around, excepting the Aspire One 522's biggest advantage is the gentle HD playback.<\p>
The fan is quiet and the utility does not get over okay, but the single loudspeaker and everyman caning life dreary that the AO522 has some tough competitor.<\p>
