    Alright so here's the deal, I'm stuck between the 1551 and the 722.

    The 722 is newer and has a better graphics chip and the 1551 is quite a bit older. My main usage will be web browsing, word processing and possibly some HD movie/show watching.

    I do know the CPU is better on the Aspire but for playing Flash HD media ie; Youtube HD(1080/720p) video, the 6250 GPU would be better?

    Just need some pointers and advice/suggestions.

    Thanks in advance.

    1551 has better processor in terms of raw power. 722 has better videocard for rendering.

    in terms of usage, 1551 has ALPS touchpads which is really terrible to use, you can use the windows 7 drivers for accurate control, but no scrolling.

    722 venting hole is tinier, less efficient cooling

    both have flat type full sized keyboards
