So, I have this.
It's really very sluggish.
Based on the specs, and the fact that it has Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit...
What should I be doing to it to make it more "snappy"? What settings should I be changing? Is a ram upgrade possible? Would that even help it?
Hulu is the WORST on it, for some reason.
Woo hoo!
Windows 7 Pro is taking me back to those good old "unknown update error" days of Windows XP Home! I hadn't seen that since trying to install some stupid .NET framework update went wrong all the time, nows it's the entire Service Pack. Oh, the hours of joy that I remember!
farken' idiots in Redmond have done it again...
I echo the other posters and suggest making sure flash is up to date, and (if possible) recommend performing a clean install of the operating system to get rid of all the junk software Acer inevitably preloaded onto it.
Thanks for the tips everyone. Doesn't seem to have helped any. It boots faster because I turned off a whole bunch of shit, but it doesn't actually seem to run any quicker...and Hulu is no faster. Right now it's wireles G. Looking at the status bar, do you think the issue would be solved be wireless N? Is it the computer or the connection?
Firefox 4.0! So far I like it better than the old version. It seems faster and more compact but everything is still easy to get to unlike some other shiny metal browser out there. I approve.

This is being a huge problem for me, which makes no sense because they just moved it to where it is on safari, which I can use without getting lost. Also I keep loosing the tabs because they are up high now.slowly getting used to Firefox 4.0 took me a while to figure out how to get chatzilla working as well as where the refresh button went. probably just takes a bit to get used to it. does feel like they've given me a lot bigger window browser to use.
