However, playback was nearly flawless when we fired up a 1080p downloaded trailer of Iron Man 2.Īlthough the Aspire One 721's six-cell battery is rated to last up to 5 hours, our review unit didn't get anywhere close to that. The picture didn't fill up the whole screen, either, while the TimelineX 1830T did. We noticed more hitching while playing the same trailer trailer at 1080p when output to a Samsung 32-inch TV over HDMI.

The notebook did a good job displaying the latest Harry Potter trailer at 720p resolution on its own screen, with only minor stuttering. In 3DMark 06, the 721 scored 1,237, comparable to the TimelineX 1830T (1,278) but much lower than the Eee PC 1201PN (1,863). The Intel-only TimelineX 1830T also got 30 fps. That souped-up netbook got 28 fps at the same resolution. Most netbooks can't handle mainstream 3D games, but those equipped with Nvidia's latest Ion graphics, such as the $499 ASUS Eee PC 1201PN, are in the same ballpark. The 721 mustered 30 frames per second in World of Warcraft at 1024 x 768 and graphics set to default.
Want to play some mainstream games on this ultraportable? The ATI Radeon HD 4225 graphics card (with 384MB of dedicated video memory) makes it possible. It took the 721 4 minutes and 12 seconds to convert a 114MB MPEG-4 to AVI. The single-core CPU really struggled when it came to transcoding video.
The drive turned in a file transfer rate of 21.1 MBps, which is below the category average of 25.3 MBps.

The 5,400-rpm, 250GB hard drive booted Windows 7 Premium in 56 seconds, a few seconds faster than average. On the other hand, the $699 Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T-3721, equipped with Intel's dual-core Core i5 ULV processor, more than doubled this machine's score (3,824).Īnecdotally, the 721 could easily handle multiple tabs in Google Chrome, but when we added more tasks to the mix, such as opening large photos and streaming music, it started to slow down.
In PCMark Vantage this ultraportable notched 1,911, about 700 points higher than the netbook average. During a Skype call our friend said we looked blocky and a bit blurry, though audio came through clearly.Ĭlick to enlargePowered by a single-core AMD Athlon II Neo Processor K125 processor and 2GB of RAM, the Aspire One 721 isn't a speed demon, but it's certainly faster than the typical netbook. We weren't impressed with the 1.3-megapixel webcam on this laptop. The twin speakers underneath the front lip of the chassis delivered plenty of volume when we listened to Green Day's "When I Come Around" on Slacker, but the sound became muffled when we used the 721 in our lap. The picture was bright and crisp when surfing the web, and an HD trailer of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows exhibited an impressive level of detail, right down to the dark circles under Harry's eyes and his stubble.Īudio quality varied based on how we used the system. The Aspire One 721's display is one of the better screens we've seen in this size, an 11.6-inch panel with 1366 x 768 resolution. The only part of the machine that got uncomfortable was near the vent, which registered 106 degrees. After streaming Hulu for 15 mintues, the 721 remained fairly cool, reaching 91 degrees Fahrenheit on the touchpad, and 92 and 95 degrees, respectively, between the G and H keys, and 95 degrees underneath.
