Acer Netbooks?

Yes it has a single AMD V140 Processor and it does very well surfing the Web. with just 2 Gb of RAM. It's a very under rated laptop people don't know how good this baby really is. But I noticed BestBuy sold out in one day and I have not heard from their Geek guys about any of them being returned.

Dear Forum,
I am trying to deceide between the Acer AS1551-4650 and the Acer Aspire AO721-3574. Which will run best? The 1551 is 1.3GHz dual core, and the 0721 is 1.7 Ghz single core. Both have 2G RAM.
Thanks!
Mike
The RAMs are ok but if your basis is core better choose the single core... why?
because it is much higher than the dual core now if other's may think the dual core is much higher with this reason 1.3GHz + 1.3 GHz = 2.6GHz they're totally wrong!!! if you will going to test the monitor CPU usage if 75% core was in use and only 25% core of the other core was used you still have the equivalent of one CPU core doing nothing. Not unless if your dual core is both 1.7GHzBut the dual core is much faster than a single core processor in a sense that it can execute more instructions per second.
It's up to you now which one will you choose.

But my 15" display sure is pretty.
Well it really depends what you want it for. My 16" 1080p laptop is amazing for videos and such but it's not terribly portable, which is why I have my 9" Asus netbook for taking with me for computer jobs or short trips. Besides, they have the same resolution, it's essentially just a smaller version of your screen.
