Acer Awesome ultra-portable with proper set up

Acer Aspire One AO722-BZ454 11.6-Inch HD Netbook (Espresso Black)
I got my mother this laptop because her Emachines em250 at 10.1 inches was to small and to slow for watching HD movies. Since she loved my Acer 1410 ultra-portable so much I got her this (Same basic design as the 1410). The AMD Fusion C-50 is a power house if used correctly. Unlike my 1410 which is cpu strong but gpu weak (HD4500 Intel graphics), The C-50 is cpu weak, gpu strong. Which is not a bad thing for this class of laptop. The cpu is fast enough for all your web surfing, writing documents, etc. and is way faster then any Atom cpu.

The real gem here is the gpu which allows offloading from the cpu. Most of the new browser supports gpu offloading, when using the proper codecs (I recommend cccp codec pack)The laptop can run 1080p content with no issue. It has a very bright and sharp 1366x768 HD lcd led screen with good viewing angles. It has good build quality for its price range, the lid is a fingerprint magnet.


Cons:
Comes with plenty of bloatware. It runs slowly out the box but after un-installing the bloat using PC Decrapifier. It runs like a champ, use a free anti-virus software such as avast free or Microsoft security essentials.
