Acer's Aspire One 522 netbook is based on AMD's C-Series Fusion processor line, which integrates a graphics accelerator on the same chip as its application processor cores. Sadly, the end result is a me-too system with little to make it stand out from...

Acer's Aspire One 522 is a perfectly serviceable netbook with a decent screen and keyboard. The three-cell battery pack leads to a relatively short battery life though and the integrated GPU failed to deliver on expectations...

With so many netbooks sporting very similar specifications, it takes something special to really stand out: a USB 3 port perhaps or, as in this case, a high-resolution screen. Unlike the vast majority of netbooks, Acer's Aspire One 522 steps up from 1,024...

The Aspire One comes preloaded with Windows 7 Stupor Edition. That's unfortunate, not only because it is Windows, but because it is "Lobotomized" Windows. What does that mean? Well, first, for Windows in general, this is the...

Product Code: BZ892 The Acer Aspire One 522 (model BZ897) delivers a good, classic netbook for a very reasonable price (£309 as of March 24, 2011). Petite and slim with a handsome 10.1in widescreen LED-backlit display, a 250GB hard drive, an integrat...
Overall, the Aspire One 522-BZ892 seems perfect for no-frills netbook use - the type of portable you can easily toss into a handbag or backpack and pull out to browse the web, watch videos or make video calls. Its great battery life and modest price t...

Unfortunately the Aspire One 522 is equipped with a glossy panel. When using it outside, sun rays will pose a definite problem. Its 10.1-inch screen has a 1280x720p resolution, which means you won't suffer from too much visual fatigue. TN technology is...

The end user price of the Acer Aspire One is Rs.16994, which is fairly decent for a netbook capable of playing back 1080p videos. If that’s all you care about and don’t mind the overall sluggish performance of Windows, then I’d recommend it. However, i...

The Acer Aspire One 522 leaves us with mixed feelings. The familiar case, the input devices and the amount of interfaces, including HDMI and a multi cardreader are convincing. The sparse scope of delivery and warranty of only 12 months ex-factory are the...

The Acer Aspire One 522 is the first netbook to ship in the US with a 10.1 inch display and an AMD C-50 processor with Radeon HD 6250 graphics. If it weren’t for the high resolution 1280 x 720 pixel display, you’d probably have a hard time telling thi...
The Acer Aspire One 522 is one of the most impressive netbooks I’ve tested to date. While it doesn’t receive top honors in the battery life department, it does get a respectable 5 hours of run time, and you might be able to prolong that by picking up a...

There's one thing that was clear from last nights live testing of the Aspire One 522 – I'm the worst person in the world to demonstrate 3D games. Interestingly though, that's because I never have devices that can play games. In the last 5 years we've se...

The impending death of netbooks has, I believe, been greatly overstated. Of course, the class of computing devices spawned by Asus' seminal Eee PC is still being assaulted on multiple fronts. In the PC world, ultraportable notebooks based on "real" CPUs h...
I'll just come out and say it: the Aspire One 522 is the best netbook we've ever tested. The Ontario APU offers application performance that's competitive with a dual-core Atom alongside an integrated Radeon GPU that provides real graphics horsepower. Th...
