Conclusion
With the 751, Acer gives us a product that definitely falls in the good end of the price range. The product is relatively cheap; most students and travelers should be able to fit it into their budget. The focus is on students in particular, as jotting down notes electronically on such a small gadget is immensely practical.

So what can it actually do? Pretty much the basics. The benchmarks results are not impressive – they never are with netbooks – but fine for a netbook and certainly one at such a low price. It can run standard applications with ease, but will fall short when it comes to more demanding tasks. On the plus side you get a great display with a matching resolution, and a weight that does not discourage you from bringing it with you.

A product like this expects its user to primarily surf, listen to music, maybe watch a movie, and work with word processing and lighter graphics like PowerPoint. This is also why the Aspire 751 is aimed at students.

The computer froze up for a bit every thirty minutes or so, but that may just have been an isolated incident or perhaps the result of a previous reviewer’s tinkering.
The major advantages of this product are the size of the keyboard and, above else, the battery life. Only rarely will you have to bring an AC adapter with you. It can go beyond 4 hours at continuous use, so there is obviously a lot more for partial use. Once again, Acer have really delivered and showed us all the meaning of a long battery life.

I am slightly annoyed at all the heat it evolves – that does not seem to be Acer’s work. Okay, you will often have a table to rest the computer on, but I still think they could have come up with a better cooling solution. The touchpad might also get annoying after a while.

All in all it is an average product for standard use at a very good price, with the added bonus of a long battery life and lovely display.
