    Its a 9 year old Acer Aspire ONE 722-C6Cbb: [AO722 Acer JE10-BZ]
    Model NO: P1VE6
    AMD C-60 APU (Ontario)
    1 GHZ (Boost Max 1.333 GHz or 1.36 GHz with BIOS mod)

    HD 6290 (Wrestler)

    It has the latest BIOS V1.11 (09/25/2012)

    I added :
    SSD
    8 GB RAM
    a Dual WiFi / Bluetooth Mini PCI-e

    It is a nice surfing device now, using the latest Windows 11.
    Im aware my smartphone is more powerfull than this piece of tech.


    As youtube and videoplayback was good using Windows 7 and 8, but turned awfull with Win10/11,
    I wonder of adding a "Broadcom Crystal HD" to the free Mini PCI slot would be possible and make any sense ?

    As far as I remember it only "boosts" app-playback, but not brwoser playback ?
