Nobody knows how to name a netbook quite like Acer.
If the Aspire One series monikers of of AOD150, AOD250, AOD255, AOD521, and so on aren’t your cup of tea, no problem. Macles reports that the company’s latest netbook is called the Acer Aspire One Happy.
Anyway, it looks like the Happy is basically a rebranded Aspire One D255 with a few new bright color options. The keyboard and display bezel are white, while the lid and palm rest area will be covered in bright colors, including the green version you can see above.
Like the Aspire One D255, the Happy will have a 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor, 1GB of memory and run Windows 7 Starter Edition.
A few weeks after launching the Samsung N150 Corby netbook with bright new color options in Italy, Samsung is bringing the new colors to the US. You can pick up a Corby netbook in “Bermuda Blue,” “Flamingo Pink,” or “Caribbean Yellow” from Amazon or Best Buy. Amazon is selling all three colors for $319.99 + free shipping.
The Samsung N150 Corby netbook has a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel non-glare display, 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 160GB hard drive. It ships with Windows 7 Starter Edition and a 6 cell battery.
Samsung is also offering a series of accessories in similar colors including a laptop case and a Corby mouse. The mouse is actually made by Belkin and the case comes from Cheil Industries. But they’re both designed to go with Samsung’s Corby series notebooks.
