Is removing Acer's loaded bloatware help speed up the lap top? what are the bloatware to remove?

There's always bloatware, you just have to remove it. Being a Linux user I just blow away everything and not worry about it. If you use Windows "add/remove" in control panel is your friend.

Sincerely I have never used that laptop in my life, and I'm not even sure that you can install this processor into a laptop, you should check with acer, what I can tell you is that this processor it's just beastly, have GPU integrated and it's incredible fast... If you can install this on your laptop, it's totally the best choice you can get

Sorry, I have no idea as I have the ACER Aspire One and found the external drive to be very sluggish- takes for ever to run through a disc ..

The acer you have has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. The computer comes with an "onboard" 512 that is soldered to the MB - and it doesn't look like ordinary ram sticks. Also there is only one Memory slot. If you wish to speed it up, I would add a 1 GB stick of ddr 667 (PC2-5300). If it is still running Vista, get someone to upgrade it to Windows 7 for you, remove all hog software (Norton and McAfee are hogs) use Avast or AVG for virus protection. Hope this helps

No, the. Acer has different specs and slits for different things than the Samsung Chromebook and the thickness of the laptops are both different. Hope this helps!

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)

No, send this back to Acer/Gateway again for repair because of BSOD. Time will tell to see if issue is resolved.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I never heard of ReadyBoost. I actually bought the Transcend 4GB SDHC card to move my swap file on it (I have 2GB of RAM in my netbook), since they say moving your swap file on a different drive is more efficient.I've changed to the ReadyBoost configuration to see if it runs any better.

I swore I would never buy a windows product again, my sony was so slow. I bought the acer chromebook and it moves super fast. Decicided to buy the acer with windows 8 and it is as slow as the Sony I through in the trash.

Yes, it just requires downloading the latest drivers from the Acer website.

Mostly Add/Remove Programs will work, but I like to use CCleaner (aka Crap Cleaner). It is a good utility for disk health and full removal of programs.Hope that helps!

Nope, I have never removed it since day one, I just leave it in with the MBA sleeping or turned off, no difference. I do not have it set to be bootable or anything like that, its just a fast solid performing data drive for stuff I use less than weekly :)

Gary, I can't seem to get rid of anything I mentioned as it isn't removed. So I just added Firefox and use it. I didn't know IE was needed for the purpose you mention about updates so am glad I left it there. That's a very useful bit of info for the future. I did keep Trend Micro but am using Avast (that one is new to me and so far I've been very happy with it) and can use on 3 computers. I haven't needed Open Office yet but will keep in mind either it or cloud apps you mentioned. I've been very pleased with this netbook and its battery life. Thanks so much
