I had a similar dilema, I went with the AO722-0473 only because the acer aspire series has good success with BT and this netbook is very nice for the price, upgradeable and a long 6-cell battery. . I also bought this Alfa card Package
1) Most importantly, will I be able install it to the harddisk?
2) The best info I got from googling for the wireless chipset was that it is using the AzureWave AW-NE785H from http://blog.gambliser.com/2012/05/ee...ndows-7-32bit/, and that it is using the atheros chipset from wikidevi.com/wiki/AzureWave_AW-NE785H, can anyone confirm the chipset and if packet injection is working on the machine?
Pardon me for being a noob, any help would be very appreciated.

burn a dvd live and try it..Then get your own conclusions, if any issue shows up, you can ask in the forums for help...The newer the hardware the less support it has...That's for sure....
If you are to buy the laptop, then say so...I understand you have one asus..do you?...
Now, the sensible issues here are the video card and wifi...Check BT5 wiki for supported models. Also check the aircrack-ng for ath9k or ath5k support...Need to read...You are a noobie but I'm sure you know how to search in those sites (BT5 wiki and aircrack-ng)..
Luck.
