Who would have thought that the company Acer, whichmade mobile solutions only for the budget class, will release a novelty that can attract the attention of all potential buyers. Notebook Acer Aspire One 722, received not so long ago on sale, immediately became a leader in the market. The focus of this article is a description of the device, a review, specifications and feedback from the owners.
Official statements of the manufacturer unequivocallycharacterize the device Acer Aspire One 722 as an inexpensive tool for work, study and multimedia. In this category, initially all students and people come for whom comfortable surfing on the Internet and communication in social networks outside the home are a priority. The low weight, glamorous look, availability of all possible color paints clearly hint that the device should like the beautiful floor.
Regular budget? No, the manufacturer did not stop there and took two big steps towards consumers. First, the laptop is provided with very powerful components (for its class), which allow you to play dynamic games. And secondly, the entire filling of the device has very high energy-saving functions, due to which the autonomy of work on one battery charge has significantly increased.
For a budget-class device, the Acer notebookAspire One 722 is too beautiful packaging and excellent equipment. The box is made in the form of a diplomat and, in addition to the device photos, on the side faces has a full description of the technical characteristics on one of the ends of the package. Opening the box, the user will find the laptop itself, which is placed in an antistatic envelope made of dense material. If you leave the device, you can find out that all its panels are covered with a protective film, including the screen and keyboard.
Under the laptop in the box there are three departments,which contain a battery, a charger and a full instruction manual. New laptop owners will be pleased with the charger, which is made in the manner of smartphones, where the power supply is combined with a plug. This is very convenient in terms of security, because if you accidentally damage the cable on its connectors will be 19 volts, not all 220.
Design of the case clearlywill appeal to all users, because the laptop cover is made in the form of a vinyl cover, in the form of a spiral. Someone associates the pattern with a drop, and someone - with the shell of a snail. In any case, it looks very nice, especially on devices with a light color. Surprisingly, this design is very branded and constantly collects dust and fingerprints, which many laptop owners are not delighted with. The lower part of the device does not externally stand out, except that it has a very thick plastic.
Pleases owner and build quality. Plastic components are adjusted to each other perfectly, there is nothing to complain about. Loops for the laptop Acer Aspire One 722 leave a two-fold opinion. When you open the lid nothing creaks, but the stroke is even. On the other hand, it takes a lot of effort to lift the lid up. Accordingly, one hand to open the laptop will not work, and the female sex is unlikely to like it.
The laptop does not have an optical drive, andThe manufacturer instead of him provided the device with a lot of popular interfaces. On the left side of the device Acer Aspire One 722, the user can find the network connector RJ-45, one USB 2.0 port and two video outputs. The digital HDMI output does not surprise anyone, but the old analog D-Sub connector will surely appeal to many owners who have not modern TVs and monitors.
In the right panel there is a card reader, two portsUSB 2.0 and headphone and microphone connectors. Also, the user can find Kensington Castle, which, judging by the numerous reviews in the media, is not particularly popular in our country. I am pleased with the complete absence of interfaces on the front and back of the laptop, so that the device can be mounted to the wall or placed on its knees, without fear of damaging the connected devices.
But the matrix for laptop Acer Aspire One 722the diagonal of 11 inches will disappoint many users, because for its production is used TN-technology, which the majority of representatives of the computer market refused. The maximum screen resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels per inch. High brightness and contrast of the matrix still can not hide the shortcomings of TN-technology in color reproduction. It is worth noting that the screen is glossy, which means that you will not be able to get rid of glare in the sun.
If we talk about viewing angles, for example, whenwatching a movie in a large company, then they are enough. The dynamic image does not lose its color rendition when the horizontal viewing deviation is small. But the ideal black color can not be seen, the lack of LED-backlighting affects. Due to the high resolution even small text is perfectly visible on the screen. In general, for an inexpensive budget employee, the work behind the display does not cause censures.
Most of the device is in the Acer notebookAspire One 722 keyboard, which has huge buttons, located a short distance from each other. Use a laptop in the form of a typewriter is a pleasure, no accidental clicks and typing errors. The progress of the buttons is short, but with excellent feedback. Some users complain about the lack of a digital block, which is rendered on function keys. In fact, by reducing additional buttons and shifting the main ones, it would be possible to squeeze a digital block without problems, as it is done in many devices of competitors.
A small touchpad, at first glance, does notstands out. Standard control keys and a slider to scroll up and down. However, there is one useful button that can disable the touchpad. For this huge thanks to the manufacturer from all owners of the notebook Acer Aspire One 722, because very often when typing the text touches the touchpad with the palm of your hand, and the cursor moves in an unnecessary direction.
And if we talk about usability, thenThe touchpad is the first to get into focus. It has a multitouch function, which the manufacturer for some reason did not mention in the description of the device either on the box or in the documentation. Apparently, this has already become the standard and does not need to be described in the description, at least for the notebook manufacturer Acer Aspire One 722. Windows 10, the operating system installed on the device, will turn the laptop into a tablet, allowing to use all available technologies.
Functional keys are few, but that to themit will take a lot of time, especially if it's a numeric keypad. Due to the huge size of the buttons, the digital block has turned out to be formless, and it is extremely inconvenient to use it. Turning the pages and moving the cursor to the beginning and end of the text are just two buttons. Because of this, it is not always possible to perform the correct action to the user from the first time.
For most users it isthe performance of mobile devices is a priority when buying. Here the manufacturer did not fail anyone. Having released several modifications of the device, it charged them with worthy accessories that provide high performance to the laptop. For example, the most popular model Acer Aspire One 722 C68bb has a dual-core AMD processor with a frequency of 1 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. Many users can note that this is not enough, and will be wrong, because the race for frequencies has long since sunk into oblivion, and now the performance is influenced by new technologies.
The gaming potential of the laptop hints ata wonderful video adapter ATI Radeon HD 6290, which is installed in almost all gaming netbooks of entry level. Officially, the manufacturer assures customers that the video card is discrete, that is, installed separately. In fact, this is a marketing move, and the video is integrated on the processor chip. But this does not mean that performance in games can not be achieved, on the contrary, this solution uses all the free power of the processor.
Among various modifications of the Acer Aspire One 722,The user can select the technical specifications directly for himself. This is more like a designer - you need an inexpensive solution for small tasks, then you can stop at a small amount of memory, the weakest processor and a small hard drive. But for the gaming system without a SSD-drive, a powerful processor and 4 GB of RAM can not do.
In the media there are a lot ofreviews of owners who purchased the Acer Aspire One 722 laptop for games with the most productive accessories. The problem for all is one - overheating of the system due to prolonged use at maximum loads. The solution here is only one: to purchase an additional cooling system, which must be placed under the bottom of the laptop.
For the Acer Aspire One 722 laptopWireless data transmission is not as relevant as performance. But still the presence of Bluetooth 3.0 version will please users who need to synchronize data between all available mobile devices. Not to mention the Bluetooth-modem or the use of wireless headphones.
A gripe is caused by a webcam thatinstalled in the laptop. Only 0.3 MP for a high-tech device of the XXI century is a complete mockery of users. The manufacturer, apparently, understood his mistake, as some new modifications of devices are already equipped with the proprietary Acer Crystal Eye camera with 1.3 Mp.
There is also a negative for the audio system installed in thedevice. As many owners note, the sound from the speakers is simply terrible. No firmware or drivers are able to fix the situation, without fail you need to use headphones or an external audio system.
A battery with a capacity of 4400 mAh is enoughenough to work for seven hours. Users note that the operating time can be extended by 1 hour by disabling wireless interfaces. Naturally, with dynamic games, the battery consumption increases, and for more than 4 hours the charge is clearly not enough.
As a result, it turned out quite interestingA device that can qualify for a wide range of users. Many reviews and testing of the laptop in the media confirm this, which can not be said about the reviews. Netbooks Acer Aspire One 722, judging by the description of the owners, can not cope with most popular games. Here the answer is obvious - the manufacturer presented an inexpensive solution for the budget class, and not a superproductive system for dynamic games.
Notebook Acer Aspire One 722, as inexpensiverepresentative of the budget niche, copes with the tasks assigned to 100%. Low weight, high performance, excellent working time, great functionality and the availability of all kinds of interfaces - all at your fingertips. On the other hand, it is not entirely clear why the device is equipped with an entry-level video adapter, because for modern games its performance is clearly not enough, and the target audience of the laptop is ordinary users, for whom priority in working with office applications and surfing the Internet. In any case, everything is decided by the price, and it's a netbook Acer Aspire One 722 worthy.
