hello, i was wondering if anyone has any trouble with the speed knowing that it is only a 1ghz processor... will an ssd help with the speed??

I installed a SSD (240gb) and for me, this swap greatly improves the speed. SSDs are not too expensive and I'm sure you can find one that will work for you. Also, there is a YouTube video showing how to swap out the SSD (search for Acer V5-122p)

It really isn't bad for speed. I got this for my daughter for college. I'm not sure what the ssd is.

I multitask on this machine a lot. It has been responsive with many apps open, nothing too intensive, but many of them. Multitasking while hd videos are playing is no problem either. I wouldn't use it for video editing, encoding, heavy photoshop, 3d modeling, or the like. I think of it as a netbook on steriods, it is small and easy to travel with decent battery life and a much better processor than an atom but it is by no means a competitor for an intel i3-5-7. I have thought about the adding an SSD to this machine, I think it would be a great benefit but i don't think not adding one would be a deal breaker either. ie; onenote loads in about 4 sec, putty 1 sec, editors in about 3 sec. If you add one, be sure to get 7mm drive rather than 9mm. I dont believe the 9mm will fit.

Yes!! I initially thought that with the ram it wouldn't make a difference but it does. I'm sorry but I'm unsure of what will help at this point. Its not extreamly slow but just slower than I would like.

I was told that the thing that makes it slow is the antivirus that's previously installed. I think its McFee and if you uninstall it that it runs smoother.

Well Taiz, in my opinion no. Thta's why I bought the 6422. I do not think 0.1 Ghz make much difference in terms of performace. Moreover, the greatest limitation of this laptop is the lack of a good video card, so I think pay $ 80 more for it is a waste of money. The other difference between them is the quality of web cam. The 6471 has a better webcam, but nothing to justify. I bought to wear at work and so the 6422 fits better my needs. I never used a SSD, but seems to be better. I have used a Hybrid Hard Drive, but I didn't notice nothing diferent.Regards,

For anyone fairly familiar with computers, you could replace the hard drive with a ssd. However, this laptop boots in less than 20 seconds and runs quite quickly, so I feel confident I am getting a boost from the express cache built-in. Also, it has an amazing recover from sleep in about 2 seconds which makes it even closer to ssd performance. I have a desktop with an ssd for my boot drive, and I can tell you that even buying one of the best Crucial ssd's, they can give you more issues than a standard hard drive. No argument ssds are faster, just saying this hybrid express cache solution from samsung with a 7200 rpm hard drive is a good choice, at least for me.

O yes. I just opened the box, plugged it in, ran the Install and I was on. I hope this is the speed you want. I am greatly disappointed in the speed. Lastnight it took 3 hours for the Windows Updates to download and install. I figure this computer for a person desiring to do email and school text work. Nothing you want completed at great speeds. Start a program and go get a cup of tea or coffee. It may be up on the screen when you get back to chair. I saw a Asus 11.5" laptop yesterday at Best Buy that is faster for $270. I am almost sorry I did not just buy it, instead. At least I could take it around with me. O yes. I just opened the box, plugged it in, ran the Install and I was on.

Hello David and thank you for your inquiry, Our model comes with a 2.26GHZ CPU speed. Thank you, Your EPower

1TB SSD+HDD faster boot and photoshop work well! But Balance must Core i5 or i7 and 16GB Ram important work faster!! IF core i3 and 8GB Ram no possible!!

The processor (2.4 Gz Intel Core 2 Duo) is über fast. You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, maybe even to 6 GB. Very fast!

OK, can we get some input from the sellers? Someone say's it's correct and someone says it's not... If the 14" really does have amd graphics I will be purchasing this for sure. Also, can someone tell me what ssd card it has (as in what company)?

From i5 to i7 is a good amount of speed difference. Most users wont see the difference unless you are a Gamer, that when the i7 Processor shines.

I see the current ad states Z3770. When I bought it, it was Intel i3 processor. I can't say which is really current.Just looked it up. The one I bought was 11-6363BLK @ $799.99. Also it had 128 GB SSD, not 64 GB

I used this CPU to replace my Pentium D 2.8GHz CPU. My desktop boots faster roughly by about 15 seconds. Also overall its is more responsive. Though its not earth shattering but that was a welcome change to this older desktop. Is it fast? Not very fast but I am happy with this cheap upgrade. Also it depends on which processor you are comparing to.

I have not had any problems with this ssd.And I did research on it as well according to my findings it is the fastest drive for the buck.Check Tom's hardware for the publication.

There is nothing wrong with the unit. It is brand new. I had one person complain about the the processor speed said it mentioned 2.8ghz the processorbis 1.7 but operates at 2.8 through turbo boost. basically it goes up to that speed when you're using the computer in a way that in demands that type of processing speed from it not at all times. Aside from that the other 20 customers have not complained about anything on the units.

hello, Asus told me that I can upgrade to 256gb ssd. I am planning to upgrade in the future when the ssd have a better price. I think it's a good buy

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

Yep, works great... we use the SSD for the OS and installed programs. Then use a 1TB drive for data. Very fast boot times with this configuration.

It's fast, but if you are looking at it for gaming, probably not the best processor. I don't know the exact CPU speed or MIPS.
