NetbookShow

Remember the Acer Aspire One D257 back at MWC in February?

Probably not as there’s nothing much new with it. It has an almost identical same chassis to many of their netbooks that we’ve seen for years, with the new aspect being the splash design on the lid, with either a dual core Atom N550 / N570 processor with standard integrated graphics and the usual netbook specs.

That said, this news is even less exciting unless you have a color fetish – new AOHAPPY like color additions for the D257 – Blueberry Shake, Banana Cream, Papaya Milk and Strawberry Yogurt. I don’t think this D257 has been released yet, if it hasn’t already been in a few parts in Europe.

Sure, Intel highlighted upcoming computers from Asus, Lenovo, and Samsung in its press release announcing the launch of the Atom N570 processor today… but Acer has beat those companies to the punch.

The Acer Aspire One AOD255E is a 10 inch netbook with a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N570 processor, and it’s available from Amazon for $330.

The Acer aspire One AOD255E has a 250GB hard drive, 3 USB ports, Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, and a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display. It runs Windows 7 Starter Edition and weighs about 2.76 pounds. The new processor is the most remarkable thing about the laptop… and the reasonably low price, but that’s pretty much par for the course from Acer netbooks these days.

The recently leaked Acer Aspire One AOD522, the first netbook with an AMD Fusion APU, is now available for pre-order.

Amazon offers the Acer Aspire One AO522-BZ897 with the AMD C-50 “Ontario” chip incorporating 1GHz dual-core processor, built-in ATI Radeon HD 6250 graphics, and HD video decoder supporting 1080p playback. The AMD A50M chipset-based netbook sports a 10.1-inch WXGA LED-backlit display, 1GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB hard drive, 6-cell battery for “up to 6 hours” of battery life, and Windows 7 Starter operating system.

Acer’s 2.87-pound Fusion-based mini laptop has a 1.3MP web camera, HDMI output, 802.11n Wi-Fi, three USB ports, a multi-in-one media card reader, and a chassis design like in older Aspire One models.

The Acer Aspire One AO522-BZ897 is priced at $329.99 (Amazon).

If you are looking for an affordable net book then Acer Aspire One 532h-2326 is a very good option.

This small netbook is packed with many interesting features like WLAN, stereo speakers, card reader, high definition audio, and many more. It is powered by Intel Atom processor and run of the platform of Windows 7. You will get a pack of many utility software programs with Acer Aspire One 532h-2326. This netbook features a 10.1-inch TFT display with LED backlit and Crystalbrite. You will also get a 250 GB hard drive, which is portable as well as a 1 GB RAM. An integrated camera also comes with this netbook.

Acer has introduced three updated laptop models  in Japan with built-in support for 4G WiMAX mobile broadband.That includes versions of thr 13.3 inch Acer Aspire AS3820, the 11.6 inch Aspire AS1830, and the 10.1 inch Acer Aspire ONe AOD255.

As far as I can tell, that makes the Acer Aspire One AOD-255-A01B the first netbook from the company to include WiMAX… although you can clearly add WiMAX to any notebook by using a USB dongle or a mobile hotspot from your WiMAX provider. Personally I don’t really see the point of purchasing a laptop with built-in 3G or 4G unless you know you’re going to be using the same computer for the length of the contract, and that you don’t plan to switch carriers.

Anyway, the netbook has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It has 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, a 6 cell battery, and runs Windows 7 Starter Edition. While some versions of the Aspire One AOD255 come with a dual core Atom N550 processor, this version has a single core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU.

There’s no word on whether this model will eventually be sold in the US or other countries.

The Acer Aspire One Happy has been making the rounds in Europe for a little while, showing up at Spanish and Hungarian retail sites last month. Now the mini-laptop is also heading to the UK, where it will sell for about £250, or just under $400 US.

What’s more, the UK version will apparently dual boot Windows 7 and Google Android 2.1. It’s not clear whether the version of the Aspire One Happy on sale in other countries will also feature the dual booting operating systems, although word on the street is that Acer plans to offer Android on all of its upcoming notebooks that have dual core processors. The Aspire One Happy will be available with either a single core Atom N450 processor or a dual core Atom N550 chip.

The netbook features a 10.1 inch display, WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional 3G. The Acer Aspire One Happy supports up to 2GB of memory and will be available with up to 250GB of hard drive space. The computer will be available with pink, purple, lime green, or light blue lids. Aside from the Android option, the colorful lids are probably the most distinctive feature on this laptop.

Notebook Italia reports  that the Happy will be available in Italy in November with a starting price of 349 Euros. Like the UK model, the version shipping in Italy will run both Windows 7 Starter and Google Android.

You’d be forgiven if you took one look at the new Laser One Chinese laptop and thought it was yet another variation of Acer’s Aspire One 10 inch netbook series. I’m pretty sure that’s what the manufacturer wants you to think after all. But als, it’s just another cheap knockoff.

Shanzhaiben reports that the Laser One is also both cheaper and larger than your typical Acer netbook, with a 12.1 inch display and $230 price tag. It also skips Acer’s typical keyboard design (with flat, wide keys) and instead uses a pretty traditional keyboard design complete with a row of Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys on the right side. I guess that’s the advantage of using a larger display than the notebooks you’re copying (although Acer doesn’t typically dedicate a full row to these keys even on its 11.6 inch laptops).

The rest of the specs are pretty typical, including a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of memory, and a 160GB hard drive. The laptop has a 6 cell battery and comes in black, red, blue or white.

The Acer Aspire One D260-2207 is a high capability notebook with the Intel Atom Z540 Graphic adapter.

The integrated graphic card is minimal faster than the GMA 950. This notebook supports 80% features and display, 80% mobility, ergonomy, workmanship and emissions. It is a glossy type LED backlight and 10.1 inch Widescreen notebook. Acer Aspire One D260-2207 supports quality screens that are exceptional and delivers nothing generic or fake. Manufacturers have strived harder for maintaining high quality LCD screens. The laptops designed by Acer ca work in nearly all stipulating environments. Acer is a trusted name rendering quality notebooks to its proud customers.

Then be sure to pick up your specially priced Acer Aspire One D255  netbook with dual booting Android and XP operating systems before leaving the venue. Otherwise, the NT$9,500 (about $300) 10.1-inch netbook configured with an Atom N450 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, 160GB hard disk, and 3-cell battery (with optional 6-cell) will cost you NT$11,900 (about $375) when it hits traditional retail channels sometime in the days ahead.
