Compare this to the AOD250, Acer’s mainstream netbook. With the AO751h, you get more screen real estate with no extra bulk.
Is it heavier? Sure. At 2.8 lbs, the AO751h with a 3-cell battery is around 0.4 lbs heavier than the AOD250 with a 3-cell battery. At 3.0 lbs, the 6-cell AO751h netbook is also heavier by 0.2 lbs than the 6-cell AOD250. The cool thing about the 751h, though, is that you may feel the weight – but you won’t see it.
The biggest plus point for the Aspire One 751h is obviously the big display and the full-size keyboard. The glossy screen is great, and you’ll enjoy watching videos on it. The keyboard size is perfect. The touchpad is large enough; it’s definitely easier to do finger acrobatics on the 751h than on the D250.
The AO751h also actually looks better than other Aspire Ones. The battery pack slots in and slants down at the back of the unit, right below where the lid is hinged to the base. I bet some people don’t like this. Before you make this about the battery pack, however, just remember that it is this feature that gives the 751h it signature slimmer look. So there.
