the whole AOD257 line is problematic for networking, October 27, 2011

This review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD257-1622 10.1-Inch Netbook (Seashell White) (Personal Computers)
I’ve tried two dual core AOD257 models, aquamarine and white. Keep in mind the white doesn’t look attractive at all, more like a plastic toy. Both have the bad habbit of freezing while transfering files over my home network, downloading files from internet or streaming a Netflix video. Once they freeze, you have to restart them from the power button. It seems to be some problem with the wireless network card/configuration. I’ve seen reviews about freezing also with the Happy2 line of Acer.
I finally bought a purple Gateway LT2804u which is the dual core Gateway equivalent of AOD257. Gateway was bought by Acer so they have very similar specifications but the Getway doesn’t freeze. It is very responsive and works perfectly while networking. It is also very quiet and much more attractive than the AOD257 models.

Of course it freezes up! Apparently you people know nothing about computers at all. Netbooks are cheap for a reason.
This particular one comes with windows 7 starter which can use only 1 processor, not 2! Also, they tend to come with slower hard drives(5400 RPM’s) and only a gig or 2 of ram. While Acer states that their netbooks wont support more than 2 gigs, they actually do if you install the right operating system. Upgrade to atleast windows 7 home premium, a 4GB DDR31066 RAM cartridge, and utilize “Ready Boost” and your netbook will be blazing fast. Ready boost is a feature of windows 7 that uses solid state (flash memory) as if it were RAM. Windows does this by caching frequently used data to this solid state memory (either a USB flash drive or a SD card like the ones you use for your camera. Skip the Flash drive annd get a Sandisk SD ultra card from amazon. Theyre cheap, costing only $10 or $20. Buy one that supports atleast 20MB/s data read rates. The point is this, if you people want your netbooks to be fast, you have to make them fast. Ditch the RAM, hard drives, and the windows 7 starter. If you want a super fast netbook then purchase a seagate Momentus XT ( you can look up the specs online), they are lightening fast. The Acer netbooks are powerful, its the peripherals and the os that hamper them. Besides if you want to use a dual core and take advantage of windows 7 features, you need atleast windows 7 home premium or windows 7 professional (this one supports ready drive!).
