Acer AO722-0465 - AO722-0490

11.6" SNB with 1366 x 768  AMD C-60 APU (Radeon HD 6290)

The AO722-0490 is a Netbook and only has 1024 by 600 screen resolution.

If you install a clean copy of Windows 7 on the 0465, or upgrade it to Professional or Ultimate, you will have problems in finding drivers for the HD 6290 graphics. You will probably reduce the screen resolution to 800 by 600.

I am currently running an AO522 with a C-50 APU  - 1280 by 720 on a 10.1" screen. I also own a AO522 with a C-60 (Netbook with 1024 by 600 resolution). I do not notice much of a difference between the C-50 and C-60  but the extra screen resolution is the key to why my first 522 is far more use. This could also be said for the 722 with a slightly bigger physical screen and 1366 by 768 resolution. (This resolution is the most common  for Sub Notebooks - and is the same as the Lenovo X100e  that I also have control over.)
