If I was to recommend just one upgrade, this would be it. I spent about 125 Euro on a Home Premium license and a 4GB RAM stick to achieve that but before I did, I took a Runcore Pro IV 64GB SSD (2.5 inch SATA) worth $150 and dropped it in with a copy of the standard OS build. ![]() Clearly an upgrade to Windows Home Premium 64bit with a clean install over 4GB of RAM is the easiest way to enhance the device. ![]() Even with a RAM upgrade it is OS-restricted to 2GB of RAM usage. In the standard build, however, it is delivered with 32bit Windows Home Starter, and 1GB RAM. The CPU is a 64-bit part and supports 4GB of RAM. The Acer Aspire One 522 is built on the AMD Brazos platform with the Ontario APU. The results have been impressive But there’s a limit. ![]() 3D graphics and HD video support out-pace anything that’s built on an Intel platform and with a dual-core 1Ghz CPU that challenges the dual-core Atom at 1.5Ghz AND keeps the battery drain down to impressive levels, a 1280×720 screen and a reasonable build quality you have something of a bargain at 299 Euros but I wanted to see just how much I could get out of the Aspire One 522 if I pimped it out with a RAM, storage and OS upgrade. Out-of-the-box, the Acer Aspire One 522 is a very decent netbook.
