It’s disappointing, as in most other ways the Aspire One 522 is ahead of the pack. The screen is a huge plus few netbooks can match, the processor and the graphics chip are as fast as netbooks currently offer, and the 250GB hard disk and port selection are fine for such a reasonable price. But that battery means we can only really recommend it in the unlikely event that you don’t intend to use your netbook on the move.

If it wasn't for the terrible battery life, the Acer Aspire One 522 would be a commendable entry in the netbook market. If you can live with that then we'd recommend it as a well-built, highly usable machine, but there's better to be had.

Acer Aspire One 522 netbook review
Source: Liliputing Archive.org version
The netbook’s keyboard and touchpad are also not the best I’ve ever used — so if you really want a device with a higher resolution screen and a full sized keyboard, you may want to consider a notebook with an 11.6 inch display. But in my opinion, you’ll be hard pressed to get more bang for your buck out of any 10 inch model than the Aspire One 522 right now.

Acer Aspire One 522 (AMD C-50) Unboxing & Live Review by Chippy
Source: Netbooknews.com Archive.org version
So far he’s expressed concern over what I consider typical Acer build quality such as the unreliable track pad (I’ve actually for the same problems with the Happy, which is essentially the same chassis). But its cheap, real cheap at €299, so you have to forgive it its idiosyncrasies since you really didn’t pay for excellence.

The Acer Aspire One 522 is a 10.1 inch netbook with a 1280x720 pixel panel and an AMD Brazos Ontario APU (processor and graphics card together), the C-50. Although entirely in plastic, the Aspire One 522 has a sober and relatively elegant design. The Aspire 522 is far from being the highest performance netbook around. Nor is its low battery life in its favour.

While Acer still had the third largest global market share in the notebook segment in 2008, it ranked 6th in 2016 with a market share of 6% after they had continuously lost market shares.

There are dozens of Acer laptop reviews per month, the ratings are average (as of 2016). Gateway, which has an own laptop line-up, has also belonged to the Acer Group since 2007.
